Ideal for clients who increasingly request that green products be included in incentive program reward options is the new Sony VAIO W Series 212AX Eco Edition Mini Notebook, made of “environmentally responsible materials.” The new computer was introduced at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, held last week in Las Vegas.
The VAIO W 212AX features a reprocessed plastic chassis comprised of approximately 20 percent recycled CDs and comes in a reusable carrying-case made from recycled PET bottles—no wasted cardboard packaging.
With an HD (1366x768) 10.1-inch LED backlit widescreen display, users can view an entire Web page side-to-side on a single screen. The machine also has a 250 GB hard drive, so there’s room for movies, photos and videos. Battery life is up to seven hours on a single charge; the machine weighs in at 2.6 lbs. with the standard battery.
The VAIO W Series Eco Edition mini notebook starts at $480, comes in white with a translucent green interior (to remind users its eco-friendly?) and is equipped with the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system. The product is currently available for pre-sales at Sony Style stores: www.sony.com/pr/wseries.
