Fujitsu WoodShell conceptWith all that plastic we hear about floating around in the world's oceans, laptop makers are turning to other materials. We've already seen Asus's bamboo line-up and now Fujitsu is showing its green credentials with a wooden concept model.

Dubbed the WoodShell, it sports a cedar wood case and 'bio-based' plastics on the inside. If wood's not your thing then there's the less snappily titled FMV-BIBLO NX95Y/D - already on sale in Japan - which uses the same eco-friendly bio-based plastic on the outside as well, using up fewer petrochemicals when it's made.

They'll both be making an appearance on the Japan Design Innovation stand at Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile interior design exhibition from Wednesday - should you be passing.
