We’ve just spent the morning fondling an Asus EcoBook — the first laptop to feature real bamboo panelling. Yes, bamboo — the stuff that’s gobbled up by pandas and used to construct beach houses in the Maldives.
Making a laptop out of wood doesn’t sound all that sane a project, but we should probably get accustomed to this sort of thing — Asus has already delivered the first leather-bound laptops, and Tulip does a range of crazy laptop skins for its Ego range.
The EcoBook, due to launch next year, is designed to communicate Asus’ eco-friendly message. VIA
