An international team led by two Spanish citizens Angel Blazquez, entrepreneur and Machón Paul, a member of the free software community have been the protagonists of a new mini laptop as it has regard to the environment because it uses renewable energy and is made of biodegradable plastic making it very economical. We must not forget that free software includes: a complete GNU / Linux with over 5000 programs.
In total, the mini laptop weighs 700 grams, uses solar panels that extend battery life and function in tandem with electricity. As I mentioned, this computer is very affordable, its price in Spain is 160 euros, so far is the cheapest compared with others made from biodegradable plastic that cost about 10 times more than the green notebook.
In fact this device has many advantages, one is helping us to raise awareness on environment and conservation, the other advantage is that by using free software includes programs that have a special license to ensure the installation, use and modification free them to make improvements. Given all this, the only drawback that could have the host of this laptop is the fear of the people to change (in this case free software), but this is something that is being handled because now people do not want any problems in using software pirates, so it is easiest to use free software.
