Dell Gives a Sneak Peek of Tiny New Bamboo Eco Computer

How cute is this thing? Dell CEO Michael Dell unveiled their eco-friendly bamboo computer design at the Fortune Green conference, and Earth2Tech got some great photos of it.

Earth2Tech has it:

Dell said the computer is 81 percent smaller than a standard desktop, uses 70 percent less power and is filled with recycled materials like old bottles, milk jugs and detergent cases. While Dell wouldn’t give the name of the bamboo box, he said the product would come out later this year and would likely range in price between $500 and $700.

What an awesome way to use recycled materials, and about time too! I can definitely imagine toting a little laptop like this around. It would make catching up on green news & posting on EarthFirst that much more cool and convenient in places like coffee shops and city parks, and you can’t deny that it’s pretty. Let’s just hope that as more people make the switch from desktops to notebooks, all of those old bits of plastic and metal don’t end up in the landfill. Luckily, Dell has their new free recycling program set up, so there’s really no excuse!
