Daaaamn....this is a sweet machine. LG has just won the prestigious Red Dot design Award for this concept laptop called the Ebook.

Now, this isn't actually an ebook, nor is it actually available for purchase, but I think it's a good example of things to come. First, the device uses an OLED display, which is more efficient in use, and also takes less energy to produce. Additionally, it's brighter, thinner and lighter (not to mention much more expensive).

Second, instead of the traditional Li-ion battery pack, this thing uses a methanol fuel cell (the bubbly blue tube is the methanol tank.)  Though picking up a pack of methanol tanks is definitely less convenient than plugging the device into the wall, it certainly makes for a prettier and more environmentally sensitive design.

Dell already offers green laptops.
-Built for low power use: Up to 19 hours of battery life
-More powerful: Up to 64% faster download speeds
-Light: just 2.2lbs
-From a company that reached carbon neutrality earlier this year -- 6 months ahead of schedule -- lead-free and with the strongest chemical use policy in the industry. (Dell.com/earth)

Don't wait for future green laptops. They are available today.

Well, this is pissing me off. I have recently bought a laptop, an Asus one, and now that I'm seeing this one I regret the fact that I hurried up. I should have waited to try this one. It is more girlish, so it is designed specially for women. smilies/angry.gif smilies/angry.gif
