Indeed, the Concept Luna is a creation that comes from last year, however, Dell has taken this idea even further. With the push of a button, the new notebook can be disassembled in around 30 seconds, allowing for replacement of components, without screws or complex procedures.
Dell’s idea is to give a “second, third or even fourth life” to electronic devices instead of being discarded.
Imagine a future where we don't just dispose of used electronics. Instead, we collect individual components for a second, third or even fourth life.
This is the basic idea that Dell intends to convey with the new Concept Luna. Recycle and reuse must become words used in awareness campaigns, but effective by everyone, including large companies.
Dell also says that "once the device itself is truly at the end of its useful life" the company will need to proceed with its repair and recycling, "to incorporate those same materials into next-generation laptops, monitors or phones."
It's a future where nothing goes to waste and we drastically reduce the mountain of electronics discarded every year – over 57 million tons globally, to be exact. Not only is the technology dematerialized, but the materials we use fuel a robust circular economy, thus reducing the need for new raw materials.
Concept Luna - A modular computer that disassembles in seconds
Dell has developed a fully modular design with Concept Luna, where every component can be assembled very easily. The process begins by simply unlocking the keyboard with a pin tool, then removing the two speaker units, the battery, a CPU fan, and a thin motherboard. The screen is also simply removed after unlocking the central panel of the computer.
The model presented last year was already much easier to open than a common laptop, however it required more technical manpower, not being available to anyone, like this new model.
There was also concern about components that tend to be replaced more than others, which are more affordable
