Dell's Concept Luna wants to bring a DIY solution to e-waste
, opening the laptop is simply beyond the abilities or tools of just about anyone that Apple hasn't explicitly authorized to do so.
One of the main drivers of this is obsolescence, planned or otherwise. When a phone is too old to run on a newer 5G cellular network, customers will want to buy a new phone that can take advantage of this latest technology. When a new Dell laptop comes out with a new mini-LED display or DDR5 RAM, you're all the more tempted to upgrade your aging device to these new technologies.
To do this, Dell's Experience Innovation Group has produced a prototype laptop design that can be disassembled almost entirely without complicated tools and can be reassembled with new, compatible parts in just a few minutes. It's a remarkable design innovation that I was able to experience personally in December 2022 at a Dell demo event in New York City.
Hell, even if I did ruin a part, it wouldn't have been the entire laptop, which is a huge part of what makes Concept Luna so exciting. By making the laptop a modular assembly of components, you can easily upgrade to better quality speakers, swap out a cracked screen, replace the keyboard with one that features different mechanical switches, and more.

What is a standard therapy for a new disease? The case of the 'standard therapy' for COVID-19 - BMC Series blogSoon after the outbreak of COVID-19, the world research community performed a large number of clinical trials about the new disease. Many of them mentioned the use of at least a 'standard of care' for disease treatment. However, this is not accurate reporting as a standard of care, by definition, cannot be associated with a new disease. In a study published in BMC Medical Research Methodology last June, Prof Livia Puljak's research group from the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine and Health Care, at the Catholic University of Croatia, reported and quantified the misuse of the concept of standard of care in COVID-19 clinical trials and found that this affected almost one out of five trials, highlighting the need for greater attention to the terms used when reporting methods, for sake of methodological transparency and replicability.
