ASUS Wooden casing laptops

by colbert low on March 14th, 2008

You’ll be surprised what ASUS offers you. ASUS had released an extraordinary concept which focuses on the substitute of the casing’s material. As you can see with laptop these days, the casings all made from aluminum, titanium or plastic. But this baby here is made from wood. No no, it’s not artificial melamine wood, its natural wood.

Other than it appeals to the crowd, a bamboo back should look more environmental friendly considering the material is renewable and it won’t cost any damages to the environment. This wooden design can be implement on certain laptops only, such as the U6 and S6 series. The designs also apply for ASUS LS201 4:3 LCD and Essentio 110 mini PC. It’s not commercialized yet and there are just concepts that ASUS had come out with. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that it’s coming out soon. Well, carrying a laptop made out of wood looks cool though.

    Is it waterproof and shockproof? I can’t really imagine carrying a laptop made of wooden casing. How’s the weight though? I think they would have think of it when they first made it. By the way, termite proof?
