Ecobutton, the latest energy saving gadget for PCs works not by preventing your computer going into standby altogether, but instead, allows you to put it into a low-energy mode that will quickly revert to full working function.
By putting your computer into a special 'ecomode', Ecobutton saves more energy than normal sleep mode, drawing only the same nominal power as when the computer and the monitor are completely shut down. It helps you save energy while taking a phone call or a break, while doing paperwork, lunch or meetings. At the touch of any button, the computer instantly returns to where you left off and displays a splash screen showing both money and carbon (CO2) savings.
