First Eco certified netbook – SAMSUNG N120

Any device is said to be eco-friendly if it does not contains any mercury or harmful chemicals. If it comes with display, it should be highly energy efficient. Samsung N120 is the first netbook to become TCO certified.

According to TCO, the Samsung N120 is completely mercury free and uses LED backlit for energy efficiency. This makes the netbook as ‘green’ and ‘eco-friendly’ for the users.
