Bracknell, UK, 11th September 2007 – Fujitsu Siemens Computers has unveiled the first dedicated “green PC” for consumers. The Green Edition SCALEO PC runs software purposely developed to reduce power consumption and meets the United States environmental Protection Agency’s stringent Energy Star 4.0 guidelines for energy efficiency. The PC also features a “green” manufactured internal circuit board, reducing the size of its carbon footprint. The SCALEO PC Green Edition will go on sale from October 2007 with prices around £349.

Fujitsu bringing their new energy efficient pc brings new opportunities in the green pc market, and as with the other vendors, releasing a low energy pc highlights the issue and shows that an energy efficient pc can be just as good as a standard pc. Going for the consumer is a great idea, I wonder how this will affect those ultimate gamer pcs – should they come with a carbon footprint warning?
