Lenovo's A61e bigs up green creds

Lenovo A61e
Tech News
Channels: Tech News Tags: energy-saving, carbon footprint

For any entrepeneurs wanting to reduce their carbon footprint, this Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e is the latest energy-saving business PC for green corps.

Billed as the company's "smallest, quietest and most energy-efficient desktop yet", the ThinkCentre and its packaging are made from 90 per cent reusable or recyclable materials. The processors are fairly energy-efficient -- you get a 45-watt AMD Athlon X2 dual core and AMD Sempron single core, 1 GB of RAM, an ATI X1200 graphics card and an 85 per cent efficient power supply.

It's even earned EPEAT Gold and Energy Star 4.0 status. Plus, Lenovo says it will release an optional solar panel to make it even greener, although we're not sure offices criss-crossed with wires and solar cells in windows will take off any time soon. Prices start at £365 -- we'll have a review for you shortly, courtesy of the gadget geniuses at CNET.co.uk.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
