World's First RoHS Compliant PC

"Toshiba of Canada Information Systems Group (Toshiba ISG) today introduced the Tecra S3 and Tecra M3, the latest additions to the powerful Tecra line of commercial notebook computers. The Tecra S3 is believed to be the first PC in the world to fully comply with the new environmental RoHS(*) regulations set forth by the European Parliament, an achievement that comes well in advance of the July 1, 2006 compliance deadline. The introduction of the Tecra S3 is the latest in a long line of initiatives that speak to Toshiba's role as an industry leader in environmental awareness and protection. In 1998, Toshiba launched the first halogen-antimony free PCB notebook PC. It was also one of the first to do away with the use of lead-based solder and is now the first to fully comply with the new, stringent RoHS Regulations. Beginning with the Tecra S3, all newly developed notebook computers from Toshiba will comply with these environmental directives." Source: CNW Group
