  • Consumer electronics giant Acer has released a new Chromebook that could have you turning a little green – not with envy, but in an eco-friendly sense.
  • The paint-free chassis and display bezel are made using 30% post-consumer plastic waste.
  • The laptop also ships in 90% recycled paper packaging, the carry bag and keyboard sheet are fashioned from 100% recycled plastic, the adapter sleeve comes in paper instead of the more common plastic or Styrofoam, and once unboxed and ready to use, the inner packaging can be repurposed as a multi-purpose laptop stand.
