The 2008 iMac. Apple most eco-friendly product.

The slick aluminum case of the iMac offers unique style and brilliant Apple design.

The design features a stunning aluminum case. This case wasn’t only practical when it came to dazzling design, but also when it came to thinking about the environment. Apple choosing aluminum over plastic was less detrimental to our environment, because of the highly recyclable nature of aluminum. (Besides plastics being a byproduct of petroleum, and we all know how bad petroleum is)

The iMac also excels in being environmentally friendly and conscious in that it has the ability to use significantly less cables then previous generations. This is due to the implementation of Bluetooth, wireless mice, keyboards, and routers. Not only does this cut down on manufacturing of cables but also makes for a more aesthetically pleasing desktop. The iMac’s Power consumption while asleep has also been cut in half over the past few years. Down to 2.7 watts while asleep. Check out this picture below for more info. Read the rest of this entry »
