    Interesting stuff for me as a complete tech and gadget nerd I consume a lot of technology and energy and find it hard to reduce my footprint. (although I do better than a lot of ppl I am proud to say :p)

    Another step in the right direction

    Dell does bamboo too. Possibly others. Not sure how green it makes a PC or laptop but they look great.

    I suppose it's a bit more sustainable than extracting the metal that would otherwise be used from huge pits in the ground, but it's still fishy in that it promotes more consumption and obsolecence rather than less.

    It has bamboo cladding and is power efficient.

    That's it!

    Smells like greenwash to me.

    Hopefully no one is planning on trading in their old machine for this "green" version.
