Dell recently unveiled a concept notebook, Concept Luna, which it claims to be designed specifically for "sustainable ecology." This notebook differs in that it is easier to repair and replace parts than other notebooks, and it can also significantly reduce carbon emissions during production.
You know, one of the considerations of the notebook motherboard installed under the keyboard is to make the notebook have a certain active cooling performance while looking less thick, but from the public picture, concept Luna's PCB and motherboard are installed behind the screen, rather than the general notebook under the keyboard position, because it is designed to be the motherboard and the CPU is passive heat dissipation. Dell's motherboard for Concept Luna can be more than this, including reducing the motherboard volume by 75% and components by 20%, and the PCB itself will be made of flax fiber and water-soluble polymers, making the motherboard as a whole more convenient for decomposition and recycling.
Easy to decompose is only the ultimate destination of this motherboard, Dell said that the motherboard has this design and installation method, the most important thing is to facilitate upgrade and reuse. Friends who have used notebooks must have experienced that the performance of notebooks is not enough after a few years, in which case they can generally only buy new notebooks, and the old ones will be discarded or become waste. But in Concept Luna, the motherboard can be easily replaced. Dell's idea was that users could buy an upgraded motherboard separately and send the old motherboard back, which would be reinstalled in a low-cost notebook and resold.
Dell said that the motherboard and CPU are very durable, even if they are used, so consumers do not have to worry about these notebooks that reuse motherboards. Of course, these notebooks will let consumers know that they contain reused parts.
