Yesterday I just got my macbook pro. The notebook is amazing, but that has been written a lot of times. You probably know that Apple advertised these notebook as "The world's greenest line up of notebooks.
I think that is right for the notebooks but there is a small problem, you have to buy everything separately which means they are packed separately. This still was not be a problem if Apple would have designed the package of these accessories environment friendly. I'm not talking about the materials. I'm talking about the package size. I bought a mini-display port to dvi cable, which was packed in a 4-5 times bigger plastic bag that were necessary. I know that is not a big cost save, but it could prevent dumping a lot of waste to landfills. The other accessory that I bought is the extended warranty which was provided by the Hungarian Apple Service. It is a piece of A4 size paper folded in half, but it came in a big box. Instead of that they could put this paper in an envelope or print it on a card board or what every, just do not waste so much materials.
Anyway the product is great, and I'm very happy with everything, but this bothered me, because Apple accessories is not as green as the computers.
