In a groundbreaking (and somewhat leafy) announcement, scientists at the GreenTech Institute have unveiled the world’s first plant-based laptop 🌱—a device they claim is “sustainable, compostable, and mildly photosynthetic.”
Dubbed the “LeafTop Pro” 💻🍃, the laptop is constructed entirely from biodegradable plant fibers and powered by a small network of chlorophyll cells embedded in the keyboard. While it boasts a sleek, organic design, early testers have noted one major drawback: it only works in direct sunlight. 🌞
“I tried checking my emails in the office, but the battery died as soon as I walked under a fluorescent light,” said beta tester Kelly Ramirez. “Now I have to take my meetings in the park, under a tree. Which is ironic because… you know… trees.” 🌳💼
Engineers acknowledge the device’s quirks. “Yes, it wilts slightly if ignored for more than three days,” admitted lead designer Dr. Fern Moss. “And sure, its ‘hibernation’ mode is just photosynthesis. But on the plus side, it purifies the air while you scroll Instagram.” 😅📱
The LeafTop Pro requires a daily misting 💦 and must be pruned ✂️ every two weeks to prevent the USB ports from being blocked by new growth. A “Bloom Mode” setting allows the device to flower 🌸 after extended use, although this has caused issues for users with allergies 🤧.
Tech reviewers are divided. Wired praised its carbon-negative footprint 🌍 but warned that “rainy days effectively turn it into a paperweight.” Meanwhile, PCMag raised concerns after one test unit was accidentally eaten by a goat 🐐.
Despite the challenges, pre-orders have already sold out 🛒✨, with eco-influencers calling it “the ultimate green tech flex.” Prices start at $3,499, plus the cost of a watering can 🚿.
When asked about plans for future updates, Dr. Moss was optimistic. “We’re already working on Version 2. It’ll have wireless charging… through photosynthesis.”
