03 Nov 09 Disposable Paper Laptop Concept

The technology to build disposable paper laptops is not quite here yet but the concept is pretty interesting. The laptop in the picture is made entirely of recyclable paper, which seems to be the easy part. More complicated however would be the technology under the cardboard necessary to run the device.

And since it’s a disposable laptop we would also need to be able to recycle the paper laptop fast and without any unwanted waste. The computer would be made of different layers which can be replaced whenever they get damaged so you wouldn’t have to throw it right away. Instead you would be able to keep using it while recycling the damaged materials.

The concept laptop is not available anywhere at this point, but we’d certainly love to play with one.
