answer:It means that when the laptop dies, instead of throwing it in the garbage, where it will end up in a landfill, get rained on, and leach harmful chemicals into the soil and eventually your drinking water, take it to an appropriate disposal site, so that the materials within can be handled and disposed of safely. As long as you use the laptop as a laptop, you will be just fine. And, you know… don’t take it apart and eat the contents. That would be bad.
