Bamboo Computers - Good Idea or Not?

EcoGeek has an interesting post on both the Asus EcoBook and the controversy now surrounding bamboo - which personally, I think was created because of the process used in bamboo clothing.

However, that process has nothing to do with many bamboo wood processes used for furniture and other items, like said computer. While some bamboo is processed or coated in questionable ways, not all of it is.

As EcoGeek points out: 

"Bamboo is non-flammable, lightweight, and, unlike every other computer out there, not made from petrochemicals." And also notes, "Asus is looking at more than just its materials when trying to green its products. The innards of their new computers are labeled for easy repair and recycling and they're some of the first laptops that are truly upgradeable, instead of being semi-solid slabs that are all-but-impossible to upgrade and self-repair."

True. Personally, I like the idea of more bamboo being used. 

I think some people in the EcoGeek comments on these posts are considering Bamboo simply a symbolic or commercial statement but it's not. One of the reasons it's so green, even when used in clothing is that it is abundant, we aren't using harder to find woods, and plastics.

We talk about bamboo positively often at one of my green blogs, and I don't consider it a harmful material in most aspects. There are actually many benefits of bamboo over other materials.

Long story short, if you're interested in checking out the Asus EcoBook I say go for it.
