The news of ASUS’ upcoming bamboo notebook, the Ecobook, created a lot of buzz in the month of March earlier this year. The Ecobook, scheduled for a 2008 release, will be the first laptop made of real bamboo. The ASUS’ green Ecobook aims to be as environmentally friendly as possible as ASUS is aiming for a 50% recyclable rate. The laptop touts biodegradable bamboo around the mouse pad, keyboard, and on the exteriors. The trackpad will also include a handwriting function that would let you use your fingers or stylus to enter text. The circular PowerGear button will glow red or green to indicate the amount of power being consumed. The internal components haven’t been finalized yet. I know you are finding it tough to wait for the release. Well, you can check out the picture gallery for now to soothe your eyes.
