I am a former PC turned Apple MacBook junkie. The first big purchase I bought for myself was the MacBook in 2006 and I named her Mini-Star. She’s my window to the world and even EC has joked that I love the MacBook more than I love him or Abby. (Not true but I would have to say that the laptop would be one of things I would grab if there actually was a fire) This blog is fueled by coffee and Mini-Star, so you can understand the importance.Well, Apple has launched an Eco-friendly MacBook Air and it’s the hottest topic on the net at the moment… a totally coveted gadget that all the geeks as well as environmentalists are talking about. Did I mention that it’s great for the environment too? Some of the features include: 

• Highly recyclable, mercury-free aluminum enclosure
• Mercury-free LCD display with arsenic-free glass
• PVC-free internal cables
• Largely recyclable, low-volume packaging
• Meets ENERGY STAR requirements
• MacBook Air received a Silver rating from EPEAT

and it’s super slim and sleek. I am not in the market for a new laptop but if you are; this is worth checking out. Oh and remember not to dispose your laptop with your regular trash. Maybe you can donate it to school or charity? Check out the PC World’s article on Recycling Your Old Tech Gear. Or Earth911 for the nearest recycling center near you.
