With the ASUS Ecobook, the computer manufacturer is trying for a laptop that is as friendly to the environment as it looks — ASUS is shooting for the sum of the Ecobook's parts to be 50% recyclable. To reflect this environmentally-minded design philosophy, the Ecobook is covered with smooth strips of bamboo. ASUS is still in the process of benchmarking various components and didn't have a spec sheet for us, but we did find out that the plan at the moment is to use an Intel Core Duo 2 processor.

The laptop's chassis is still undergoing revisions and the picture above does not reflect the final look of the Ecobook. Right now, the Ecobook looks a lot like the leather-covered ASUS S6, but we're told the final design may appear more like a Macbook. Click through for another view of the ASUS Ecobook. — Kevin Hall
