Pictures of Dell’s Eco Bamboo Computer
We just listened in on Dell CEO Michael Dell’s speech at the Fortune Green conference, during which he showed off a “never before seen” eco-inspired computer with a bamboo casing. 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 betwen $500 and $700. Check out our pictures of the ecoputer.
More dendro-technophilia pics after the jump.

Where are the specs? does it have a VIA processor? every ‘eco’ PC should have a VIA processor and run Linux.
Very nice.
Hopefully efforts like these will drive home the notion that the average PC user doesn’t need a massive, plastic clad tower to surf, e-mail and trawl Facebook/MySpace :)
[...] Vi har sett flere anvendelser av bamus tidligere, men dette er den først pc-en vi har sett laget av gresset. Dette er Dells forsøk på å bli mer miljøvennlige. I følge selskapet skal den blant annet bruke 70 prosent mindre strøm og den benytter også materiale fra resirkulerte bokser. Maskinene skal etter ryktene prises mellom 500 og 700 dollar.

Too bad it is a DELL, it will end up as landfill within two years. Junk ass pc builders! So no, not eco-friendly.
Sounds and looks great! Hopefully will see more movement towards eco-friendly components and casing in the future.

BUt think about it, this means they would need to cut some bamboo for each computer. I think synthetics would be the way to go on this one
Although the concept is cool, the sad thing is that you’re stuck with windows. Well, that is if you want any entertainment with out having to tweak one of those free OS systems. I hope apple comes out with something similar. Meh….

Hope its not as crappy & noisy as the the XPS 200. I would never buy a Dell again.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like any of these bamboo veneer PCs are making it to market. I understand the ASUS EcoBook has just been delayed again (or possibly discontinued?).
Hopefully someone will find a way to make this happen since I really do like the bamboo skin and possible eco-friendly nature of these PCs.

That’s a great thing, all green looking and all. But you know what I’d really like? To have the keys work on my Latitude D610, or who knows, maybe not have dead pixels and the monitor half falling off.
I’ll never own another Dell, no matter how “green” it goes.

I see the bamboo casing for sale online (Sam’s Club
) but not the entire computer. When and where can we buy it, shouldn’t it be out now? I’m always looking for a way to shave my electricity bill and go more green and this computer looks like it could do it.
Personally, I think this is a wonderful start.
I hope Dell, ASUS and others research their bamboo sources well- as many Chinese manufacturers use toxic chemicals such as Urea Formaldehyde in the bonding process for bamboo laminates.
Furthermore pollution, wages and worker health and safety in China are disgraceful in many factories.
It would be shameful indeed if this green revolution is not merely marketing hype and at the expense of oppressed Chinese labour.

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
süper bişey harika yarın hemen alıcam!
Amazing… green this, green that. Any numbers on the carbon footprint of a regular Dell vs. this model? A comparison would be helpful. Not a very practical approach to cutting CO2.
We as a species will be extinct long before the environment and climate.
