The First Eco Certified Computer

Lenovo’s M57/M57P “Eco” is the first computer that is certified by the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) (the largest certifier of chemical emissions from building materials and furnishings in the U.S.) after going through rigorous testing for up to 2000 chemical emissions.

Eco is the first ThinkCentre computer made with recycled, post-consumer plastics and is EPEAT Gold and Energy Star ® 4.0 rated. The system comes with Intel vPro technology, Core 2 Duo E6550 / E8200 / E8400 Processor, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 160GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD Burner, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, and Windows Vista Business.

I found the news very interesting and promising since it is well known that lots of phthalates (for example) in the environment are coming from electronic and computer products. I hope this kind of certification takes care of that too.
