So, these are "Eco-friendly" because... Sony gives 1% of the price to non-profit organizations?

How about making sure they're power-efficient and made with recycled products? Wouldn't that be a better way to be "Eco-friendly?"

Ahh, eco designs. That makes me want to go out and buy one...NOT!. I do like the designs though, probably another reason for Sony to overcharge for their laptops.
