Why Green PCs Make Sense
In essence, a Green PC is designed with components chosen for low-energy consumption. Typically, these components have been developed from laptop technology (where battery life is important). As such, they are designed for practical functionality, rather than brute performance.
Not everyone needs a supercharged V8 SUV – or a large car at all. Many people buy smaller cars because they are cheaper, more economical, easier to park and drive, etc.
So it is with computers. Most computers are equivalent to large cars: with capabilities and performance that far outstrip their users' needs. For those who want PCs that are cheaper, more economical, smaller, and so on, the additional capabilities are not only wasted; it is unwanted.
How do you know if a smaller PC will suit you? Can you answer “NO” to these questions?
- Do you (or anyone in your family) play graphics-intensive PC games?
- Do you (or anyone in your family) do Computer-Aided Design or 3D modeling?
- Do you (or anyone in your family) edit complex media files, such as large graphics, music or DVDs?
