The Froot desktop computer was designed for Dell for a sustainable design concept. The eco-friendly aspect is quite simple: get rid of the keyboard and the monitor. Instead, Froot has two projectors, one for the keyboard and one for the screen.
Froot is also made out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer and the colorful casing also makes for a nice eye-pleasing desk accessory. Check it out in the gallery above!
