You’re not wrong. And the product communicates this idea, which is why I would enjoy someone purchasing it. I’m pointing out the humor in that this particular application of the idea is technically insignificant when compared to the rest of the computer’s manufacturing process. From the chips to the batteries to the screens, the impact on the environment (for lack of a less-overly-simplified expression) of manufacturing a computer has nothing to do with its case.
Personally I communicate to others that I’m for lowering our carbon footprint, waste, etc. in other ways because I don’t have the cash to fork out for this kind of premium.
It’s also worth pointing out that it’s been years since I bought a laptop with a plastic case. Metal is worse, all things considered! I still stand by the point that other components have a much larger impact. The chip manufactures, for example, measure water consumption in millions of gallons per day for a typical factory. You could recycle the entire machine for a fraction of the cost of treating the water.
It’s funny because nobody is going to buy this laptop, and they know nobody is going to buy this laptop. Did you look at the price?
- Spivak 4y agoI think it should be applauded, even if small, for doing what you can with what you have. Lenovo is an integrator, they don't make any of the chips, but they make the case. That's how we do better. Everyone in their own little vertical changes what they can and we hope it adds up. Any one thing is insignificant, but together maybe not.
