Asus U5 Very Green and Very Small

Many notebooks these days include lead and halogen in their construction. I don’t know about you, but I would like to keep poison out of the building materials of the things I am going to keep around me all the time. The U5 does is the first lead and halogen free laptop.

The best part of the U5 is not it’s treehugging construction, but that it actually is a pretty decent laptop, and you would not know that the U5 was ecofriendly unless you were told.

The U5 only weighs only 1.4kg, which is just a little more than Sony’s tiny TX1. Somehow they find room in the tiny machine for a 12.1 widescreen, the fastest Pentium M processor and a decent wireless card. Not only that, but half a gigabyte of ram is also tucked away somewhere in there.

Some other great features include three USB ports, a multi-format card reader and FireWire.

Pricing has not yet been announced.
