Greenpeace declares MacBooks 'poison Apples'

By Scott McNulty

We all know that Greenpeace isn't too happy with Apple's commitment to the environment. The latest news is that Apple portables have some of the highest amounts of toxic chemicals in them of 5 manufacturers tested (Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Sony). The MacBook has the highest concentration of tetrabromobisphenol A, which is a flame retardant.

Apple is in the process of looking for a replacement for this chemical, but in the mean time I wouldn't suggest cracking open your Apple portable and licking it.
