Sony Introduces Eco-Friendly Notebooks

Being environmentally friendly is no more a fashion for companies. It has transformed into a bare necessity to preserve nature and spread the message of preserving nature among consumers and associates.

 

Sony is taking this duty very seriously and has introduced four new VAIO notebook computers in unusual colors and patterns, like leopard print and floral, to reflect their environment-friendly features. Sony is also offering a rechargeable battery recycling program at its stores and other participating retailers.

 

According to a report in TechwebNews.com, Sony has said that the unusual colors that the Eco Edition notebooks bare are inspired by the colors found in the nature. Apart from their nature-friendly looks, the notebooks offer a choice between Centrino Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo processors, Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate editions, and wireless connectivity through 802.11a/b/g/n technology.

 

The notebooks come in many themes such as "Caribbean water," "clay earth," "spotted life," and "bloom." The Graphic Splash Eco Edition notebooks, a version of Sony's popular VAIO FZ computers, are slim in design and made out of recyclable materials for resource conservation. True to their design, the notebooks come in packages made with nature friendly materials that are recyclable. Also, restrictions on the usage of Hazardous Substances like lead will be used as less as possible in notebooks.

 

To encourage people to try the new, nature friendly notebooks, Sony is offering an exchange for their old computers. The company has declared that it will offer a rebate to those who make the trade in. You can take your used computer to a Sony Style store to be recycled and a credit will be issued toward a new VAIO notebook.

 

Finally, 1 percent of the income generated from the sale of these notebooks will be given to environmental non-profit organizations. Limited quantities are available starting this month and priced at $1,390 and higher.
