Acer Debuts Eco-Friendly Aspire 3811TZ & 3811TZG Notebooks

Folks from GreenPeace took some time off from their whaling war with the Japanese vessels and looked for a few moments to the tech industry and have rated some a new set of notebooks. Making the list are Acer’s eco-friendly Aspire 3811TZ and the 3811TZG models as they don’t feature any bad-for-the-environment materials, including PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and BFR (brominated flame retardants)

Part of Acer’s thin-and-light Timeline series, both models come with 13.3-inch LED back-lit LCD screens and are powered by Intel’s ULV (ultra low voltage) Core 2 Duo processors that make them an extremely power-efficient machine.

We don’t have anything official regarding specs, but if we’re to speculate (and given the specs in the 3810 series) we’re looking at up to 4GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, Wi-Fi, maybe an HDMI port and a long lasting battery that would be good for 8 hours of work.

“The chemical characteristics of PVC and BFRs may generate toxic substances like dioxins and furans at products’ end-of-life, therefore, the reduction of PVC and BFRs in Acer products will help protect our environment from being poisoned by electronics goods,” Acer said in a press release.
