Engadget Logo A small notebook that is OK with only 4 Japanese screws in the Japanese version of the Japanese version, Dell is a concept machine "LUNA" overseas announcement

In recent years, digital products have been required not only in specifications, but also for low -cost loads and ease of repair.Meanwhile, the concept of a small laptop computer, "Concept Luna," which realizes a low environmental load by facilitating repair and recycling by US Dell.Concept Luna is a concept model with a design similar to the current XPS series.From the keyboard and internal parts, the size of the body is like a mobile notebook PC class.

However, the inside is a renewed body design to design and material.Compared to the current laptop, carbon footprint (carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing to recycling) can be reduced by up to 50%.

Let's look at the parts design.Concept Luna's motherboard footprint is 5580 square mineter, and it has been reduced to 75%compared to the current model (Latitude 7300 Anniversary Edition manufactured by the company), and the number of parts has been reduced by 20%.In addition, the motherboard itself is installed near the top cover, improving the cooling efficiency of the main parts.On the other hand, separating the power supply unit reduces the fever, and is assumed to be a fanless operation.

In addition, the product life can be extended and reused by adopting a small and long -term use of deep cycle battery.The aluminum body is processed by hydroelectric power power.In addition, the number of screws used for assembling is reduced to 1/10, and it can be accessed inside just by removing four screws.As a result, 1 repair time (from decomposition to repair, assembly) is 1.We have succeeded in shortening to 5 hours.

Other details, the keyboard module that can be easily replaced and disassembled, and the printed circuit board (PCB) adopts a bio -base product using hemp fiber -based material and water -soluble adhesive.Incorporated ingenuity to make it smaller.

As described above, there are "Framework Laptop", which uses a modular structure, and the "Fairphone" series, which uses many reusable materials.In addition, Microsoft and Apple have announced new initiatives from the perspective of expanding repair methods related to the so -called "right to repair".

At this time, it is unknown whether Concept Luna will appear as an actual product.Nevertheless, the idea of this concept will affect various Dell products in recent years, where environmental protection and repairs are increasingly emphasized.Source: del
