Very interesting. Never really thought about Apple’s “green factor”.

The new Apple laptops are definitely the most environmental friendly laptops I’ve seen on the market. Made entirely of aluminum, which is recyclable, they use up less energy than most other computers; and it being a laptop makes it all around more green than any Desktop. I don’t think there’s any question about it. Apple laptops are green.

Laptops are becoming preferable to desktops because they use far less energy right from the start. Plus, the portability makes them a great companion on the go. But there are ways to make even Laptops less of a burden on the Earth, from materials to longer life spans, from packaging to energy efficiency. We've gathered up some of the most eco-friendly laptops around so you can quickly narrow down your options when purchasing.

Mr. Green, what do you think happens to the 2 pounds of cut away aluminum? It gets recycled! You act like they throw it in the landfill.

At first glance, I would simply say that this is a great story to raise awareness, however I am still a strong believer that going green, should be the normal way of doing things and not done simply for publicity. The fact that Apple has voluntarily chosen to go green is great news but I am sure there must be many people who don’t even care about sustainability; design seems to be the big seller.
The question here is what features or points make Apple eco-friendly? I believe the power saving feature actually works in Macs and are enabled by default; Mac goes to sleep if not in use, also a desktop Mac. This is not the case with Desktop Computers (Linux or Windows) which therefore can’t produce their advocacy for green environment.
