Asus Plans to Build Laptop Casings with Bamboo

This is a sharp departure from the conventional practice of using plastic or metal for the outer shell of laptop, although some aluminum frames will be used to offer the laptops some form of rigidity. Otherwise the bamboo will be a little flexible.

This is worth picking up as the design is beautiful. You might have to wait till June though. There will be both 11-inch and 12-inch variants of the bamboo notebooks, with pricing starting around $1650.
