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.
