Lenovo Goes Green

Chinese computer manufacture Lenovo has taken a step towards becoming more environmentally friendly with the introduction of its new ThinkCentre A61e (AKA BlueSky). BlueSky is the first desktop from a major computer builder which uses AMD's new low-power Athlon X2 BE-2350 and Sempron LE 1150 processors, resulting in a maximum power consumption of just 45W. The computer, which is of a similar size to your typical phone book, is also built from around 90% reusable or recyclable materials along with 90% recyclable packaging. Prices start at $400, which will give you a Sempron LE 1150 CPU, 512MB memory, an 80GB hard drive, a 64MB Radeon X1200 graphics card and a 16X DVD-ROM drive, with $100 extra giving buyers twice the memory and a CD burner. The cheapest dual-core model, which features 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive, costs $649. It's hardly a power house, but it's nice to see computer companies taking notice of the environment.

Sorry but x1200? I don't think they even sell those on newegg :roll:. At any rate, they should've gone for integrated graphics, the x1200 would only be slightly better, and integrated uses less power than a x1200.

They had to go real green, I hope that the average household in China has just enough power to power even this green machine........I wonder what the composition of the recycled materials are????

Of course people who build their own computers would say that. But for those without the knowledge or motivation to do so, Lenovo isn't a bad choice. Hence they are the forth biggest PC builder IIRC, so to say 'nobody' likes them is a very subjective statement. Is there anything wrong with a company trying to gain publicity?

Weird, why are these sold as Thinkcentres and not as Netvistas?
