To get slightly nerdy the Sony Vaio also has all the circuit boards are BFR-free and PVC-free.

Good to see that the major companies are starting to eliminate these toxic chemicals.

RAD, you’re not rad at all…in fact I think you’re the opposite of rad! The title refers to ME!!! I consider myself an environmentalist and I swooned…totally and utterly swooned. So there, meanie! And I didn’t suggest anywhere that you should throw your old laptop out and buy a new one. Wait a second, is this Bill Gates pulling a prank on me? Oh you guys at Microsoft have such a sense of humor!

That is really neat. I’m hoping to get a new computer in the next year (mine is 4 or 5 years old) it’s nice to know there is something green on the market.
