Fancy
lugging around an eco-friendly notebook encased entirely in bamboo?
Taiwan-based Asustek Computer Inc.'s wooden beauty features a case decorated
with laminated bamboo strips, and come in different shades.

However, before you
rush to place an order for one of these, only prototypes are available for now
as the company’s engineers are still ascertaining the eligibility of bamboo to
allow heat from the microprocessor and monitor to dissipate quickly. The company
has already found success with its high-end calf leather-bound and faux
alligator-skin notebooks. So, expect the bamboo-encased Asus Eco Book to hit
the market once its engineers give it the green light.
