This study was conducted to synthesize the impacts on the environment and human health laptop usage. Research results show that the production and use of portable machines causes ozone depletion, global warming acidification, eutrophication, carcinogenicity, respiratory effects, ecological toxicity, and depletion of resources among many other impacts. Currently, notebook computers are very commonly used, Majority of users are not aware of the harmful effects of all processes related to notebook computers from the time of manufacture, use and disposal. Measures to handle notebook computers after disposal are ineffective, and pose many risks to the environment. Many recyclable and reusable materials have not been used effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to raise user awareness and strengthen the capacity of collection, treatment, reuse and recycling. From the research results, it shows the potential assessment and planning to develop an appropriate collection and treatment system to recycle the flow of harmful materials and e-waste found disused laptops.
