Dell CEO Michael Dell unveiled a new Eco PC at last week's Fortune Green Conference. The new mini Dell runs cool thanks to some design innovations and makes heavy use of post-consumer #2 HDPE plastic.
According to Dell the new PC is 81 percent smaller than a typical PC and up to 70 percent more energy efficient.
The technology site earth2tech published photos of the version of the Eco PC Micheal Dell previewed at the conference. The PC appeared to have a case made from bamboo. It is not clear if that version will be publicly available or is a "eco-version" of the system shown above.
A Dell spokeswoman told Sustainable is Good Products, "There are some pictures that were taken at the event circulating on the internet and I can confirm that is the system version that Michael previewed."
The packaging for the new Eco PC will be environmentally responsible as well; the majority of the material is recycled and recyclable. The internal protective “cushions” are made of 100 percent recycled plastics that can include milk jugs, bubble wrap and bread bags.
