The PC manufacturers realized that the future of the PC industry lies in the hand of the designers. In these days the customers wants a unique and stylish case when they buy a PC and that’s why Dell started the “Regeneration: International Green Computing Design Competition”.

A tiny PC using only 4 to 6 Watts has hit the market, with a built in wireless networking feature and able to run Windows XP. It can be powered from a solar panel (via a battery ideally) and is only slightly larger than a set of keys.

Well it's official.  Canadians will once again go to the polls on October 14th, 2008.  Mr. Harper once again using the backs of the Canadian voters to advance his agendas. 

British PC maker Akhter Computers has launched a computer that can run at 3GHz, yet consumes just 55 watts when in use, less energy than a light bulb.

Power consumption will be cut significantly by Dell and HP in response to EnergyStar5.0 requirements from the US EPA. Improvements in the processor chip (CPU), power supply (PSU), fans and other components will all contribute. Pressure is also coming from tough new European standards on the use of toxic chemicals in consumer products.

Ever wanted to say a few things to computer companies? This post thanks computer companies for making greening efforts, but implores them to go one step further and tells them, "Create them (totally green computers) and we will buy."

A study among PC brands the study lists “Apple's customer base [as] the greenest, with 17% of its customers in the bright green category”. Is this the same Apple that was slammed by Greenpeace for its lack of responsible green policies, resulting in Steve Jobs coming out with a statement vowing to clean up their act, only to receive another rebuke months later for not sticking to what they promised?

This mini PC uses just 8 watts of power which is a quarter of the power used by the average laptop. You can also add on a solar panel to power the device and a 10.4 inch LCD screen which uses just 10 watts of power.

Energy Star 4.0-rated products can lower your energy bill and reduce the amount of pollutants in the world--but by somewhat less than you might hope.
