Ever wonder what company makes the greenest laptop? According to Greenpeace, it's Toshiba with the Portege R600. It scored a 5.5 on a scale of 10 for its recyclability, upgradeability, and its overall use of environmentally-safe technologies such as LED lights. The laptop was given the green award during Greenpeace's press conference on the state of tech and the environment. It was the first time Greenpeace named the greenest products (rather than companies) making a difference in the tech industry. The 12.1" ultraportable is pretty nice too, coming in at 2.4 pounds and packing an Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.4 GHz Processor, 3GB RAM, 160GB HDD, dual layer DVD burner, 802.11n, and MS Vista Business. That's not including it's 7.5-hour battery life.
Noticeably absent from the list of green gadgets were Apple's new MacBook Pros, Nintendo's Wii, and Microsoft's 360. The three companies (along with Asus, Palm, and Philips) chose not to participate in the survey.
