HP and Intel make more efficient products
June 4, 2009
According to this article, HP and Intel are on the forefront of producing more efficient computers. Intel is offering four new processors that use much less kilowatt hours than their current modeals. And, HP is upgrading its server platform to make it twice as efficient. According to the above article, HP also launched the Power to Change campaign, “which encourages consumers to download a desktop widget that tracks energy savings from turning off idle PCs.” I applaud HP’s efforts in saving electricity. Leaving on idle PC’s not only ruins the computer, but costs you more on your electricty bill.
There are plenty of ways to be more eco-friendly regarding electricity in your own household or business. Consider using hand-powered products when electricity isn’t absolutely necessary. Or, listen to a solar powered radio instead of wasting batteries.
