Fujitsu Siemens launch green consumer PC
Fujitsu Siemens has unveiled the first dedicated green PC with ultra-low energy use. The Green Edition SCALEO PC is to debut in the UK in October, and runs software that is purposely developed to reduce power consumption and meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency's stringent Energy Star 4.0 guidelines for energy efficiency. The PC also features a greenly manufactured internal circuit board, which further reduces the size of its carbon footprint. The SCALEO PC Green features an Intel® Pentium® Dual Core™ processor, 1GB RAM working memory, a 160GB hard disk, a multinorm DVD writer with Double Layer support, and an 11-in-1 card reader for all the usual card formats. Prices start from around £349.
