Dell unveiled Concept Luna, a new design concept, earlier this week.
The Luna is not your average laptop; rather, it focuses on aspects that most brands overlook, such as the machine's repairability and carbon footprint.
This translates to a machine that is simple to disassemble and repair, leaving a smaller footprint on climate change.
Dell's proof-of-concept laptop will be designed in such a way that users will not need glue solvents, for example, to remove and replace the keyboard.
In addition, no screwdrivers will be required to open the laptop.
After removing some easily removable keystones, components such as the display panel will simply pop out.
The laptop is currently only available as a prototype or multiple prototype versions, but Dell has a design to show off ahead of the first commercially available laptop of its kind, which is still a long way off. Dell also claims that the Concept Luna will have ten times fewer screws than the Dell Latitude 7300 AE, which will be a significant step forward in this direction. According to The Verge, the company has already started using more common types of screws, such as Philips head screws, on its existing laptops, such as the Dell XPS 13 and 15. This makes it easier to repair the laptops.
The Concept Luna will also be made of aluminum that is melted using hydropower energy, and the company claims that the new motherboard will have a carbon footprint that is 50% smaller. Finally, modular components may enable the laptop to be more upgradeable than most current laptops.
