Need a new laptop? Check out these greener options

Most electronics that are made today contain a multitude of toxic chemicals and materials, such as mercury, lead, and arsenic. When these electronics are improperly disposed off (such as in landfills), the toxins leak into the environment.

But, if you're in the market for a new laptop, you're in luck. Several computer makers have given you the option of buying environmentally-friendly laptops. From Apple to Toshiba to HP models, these laptops are made using non-toxic chemicals and materials and also use much less energy than their non-green counterparts.

EcoGeek has put together an informative list of the five greenest laptops on the market. Check it out here.
