The Dell Concept Luna laptop was created to make personal computers easier to repair, reuse and recycle. This design concept has the potential to reduce a computer's carbon footprint by up to 50% thanks to details like a deep-cycle battery, bio-based circuits and 10 times fewer screws—in fact, there are just four needed to access the laptop's internal components. As well as being useful for reducing the number of materials needed, this means that assembling and reassembling the device can happen faster.
Thanks to redesigned components and an efficient layout, Concept Luna's motherboard is 75% smaller and it is placed close to the top cover so that it is in closer proximity to a large cooling area.
