Concept Luna
continueLast year, the “Concept Luna” concept notebook focused on ease of maintenance and recyclingFinally, this year Dell also released the second-generation Concept Luna on the eve of CES. Unlike last year, which mainly focused on the environmental protection of each component itself, this year’s Concept Luna focuses more on the modular design of the notebook and the ease of disassembly. The entire notebook does not use screws, but uses tenon and other methods. fixed in the fuselage. This allows Concept Luna to be completely disassembled in regarding 30 seconds, including the motherboard, fan, battery, even speakers, and the screen can be replaced independently.
The fully assembled laptop is regarding the size of an ordinary 13-inch laptop, but its thickness is closer to the Latitude, a business laptop, rather than the XPS, a thin and light laptop. If there is no special explanation, you will not think that such an innovative structure is used inside. And because of the addition of a fan, compared with last year’s Concept Luna, which only relied on passive cooling, this year’s version can also put a more powerful processor, making it closer to a general notebook of the same size.

In addition, Dell has partnered with a microfactory to develop a robot that can automate the disassembly of Concept Luna laptops. This includes dismantling the laptop step by step, judging whether each component is working properly, and automatically recycling the parts that are still usable for reuse. Glen Robson, CTO of Dell Client Solutions Business Group, said that the combination of Luna’s modular design, easy recycling and robotic automation may trigger a revolution in the industry, making every laptop from the inside out, every part The engineering design and raw material selection are all taking recycling and reuse into consideration.

Like last year, Concept Luna is still just a “concept” as its name suggests, and it is unlikely to be listed in its current form. However, Dell will refer to the experience of Concept Luna to improve the recyclability and repairability of existing laptops, and continue to make efforts to reduce packaging materials or use recycled materials to make casings.
