Asus U5 meets EU green standards

asus u5

Asus is the latest computer maker to follow the European Union's marching orders and produce a "green" laptop to adhere to standards that limit lead and other potentially toxic substances. In addition to its enviro cred, the laptop looks like it has some pretty good specs, including a weight of just about 3 pounds, 512MB RAM standard, 3 USB and 1 FireWire port, built-in Bluetooth and WiFi, and a fast Pentium M. No pricing yet, though we imagine it'll command some sort of premium for all that greeny goodness.
