Crazy colors, goofy graphics, metal casing – what do they all have in common? They have nothing on bamboo, that’s what. ASUS is to debut World’s first bamboo notebook through Sam’s Club in Canada.
Asus and Sam’s Club Canada will be offering those eco-friendly citizens a chance to purchase a limited number of Asus U6V Bamboo notebooks. This environmentally-friendly notebook design definitely stands out from the crowd.
Asus and Sam’s Club Canada will hold a demonstration of the U6V Bamboo notebook at the Etobicoke location on November 14th from 5pm to 8pm – and at the Richmond Hill location on November 15th from 12pm to 3pm. Only a limited number of Bamboo U6V notebooks will be available – unfortunately no pre-determined number has been announced as of current.
The Bamboo notebook has already cropped up on Amazon as well, listing for US$1999.00. The listing currently says that the product has not yet been released but you can pre-order it now for US$1999.00
Technical Specifications are as follows (as listed on Amazon.com)
Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz 6MB L2 Cache
1066MHz FSB
320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

No no no.....
the reason it's only being sold here in Canada is that in this wonderous land of Ice and Snow, we need something else to throw into the firebox or furnace to heat our homes, at least it is cheaper then $1.00/litre furnace oil....
Bamboo burns well I hear......
That quite honestly SUCKS ASS for what you're paying for BAMBOO versus metal(yes,let's put brittle wood on our laptops instead of smooth metals which would,to be honest,be much better than bamboo)
Rotting is not a problem I want my computer to have.
I didn't even know we had Sam's Club in Canada, so I'm guessing it will be a very limited number actually available in this Country.
