Taking it's environment-saving efforts further ASUS today released two new Bamboo notebooks that are "truly green throughout every phase of their lives." According to Asus, the notebooks are completely green -- from its conception, production and use to its eventual recycling and disposal. On one hand company is saying the products are completely eco-friendly, but it doesn't understands that they'll need to take down so many trees just to make it "eco-friendly". Product made from wood increases de-forestation then how can it actually become environment friendly? Hope ASUS have the answer.
