Pictures of Dell’s Eco Bamboo Computer

Written by Katie Fehrenbacher

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.

Dell Eco Bamboo, ordenador ecológico said on April 23rd, 2008 at 2:18 am

I applaud companies that really do try to limit their consumption of non-renewable resources but I wonder how many of the current crop of companies releasing “green” products are just doing it for the marketing buzz and how many really try to reduce energy use and waste in their own production facilities and offices.

Man I thought dell was a good company and not run by wackos. i guess I will have to shift to a company that doesnt bow to political pressure.

Where are the specs? does it have a VIA processor? every ‘eco’ PC should have a VIA processor and run Linux.

Dankoozy said on April 23rd, 2008 at 2:49 pm

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.

It sort of looks a bit corny to me. But at least it’s a start.

I like it. The design just doesn´t seem practical, but at least they are doing something for the environment.

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….
