Intel pitches modular PCs to cut e-waste, ease repairs
Briefly

Intel proposes a modular PC design that allows for easier repair and component replacement, addressing the issue of electronic waste generated by obsolete parts. The blog emphasizes that current monolithic systems lead to premature disposal and suggests that modular architecture could promote the right-to-repair movement. With over 60 million tons of e-waste produced annually, the company aims to contribute to solutions for minimizing waste and extending the lifecycle of electronic devices, encouraging users to repair rather than discard their systems.
Intel's modular approach to PC design could reduce electronic waste and enhance repairability, aligning with the growing right-to-repair movement's objectives.
By enabling users to swap out components easily, modular architectures are seen as a way to reduce e-waste and extend the usable life of devices.
