Produce Good Value "Green" Desktops & Laptops

-50 points posted to Environment, Desktops and Laptops by dartiss Jan 22

There are many suggestions here for various changes that could make a PC "greener".

As part of the companies green credentials, I believe that not only should as many of these as possible be a "default" option, but there should be specific "greener" models of desktops and laptops.

These would have lower power usage and should be created and shipped in a more environmentally friendly way. Components, too, could be kept to a minimum - onboard graphics and sound and a removal in "legacy" ports. The desktop version of this could use laptop components to better embrace this idea.

The vast majority of PC users require one for emails, internet browsing and office applications - a low powered (but not under-powered) PC and laptop that are more than sufficient for this should be easy to produce.

Jan 22		 @dartiss: Dont forget, Dell aim to be *Powerfull* & *Green*. Powerfull as in *High Performance*. Not only Green but useless computers for "emails, internet browsing and office applications" only. People want performance too...

Apr 23		 What about those people decide after they bought the PC that they want to use it for more than just email, internet browsing or office applications. They might take up photography as a hobby and want to use the computer they have already to do their editing. They might not want to buy another computer just to do that.
