Desktop Energy Savings Guide

To get an idea of the energy costs associated with various
computer systems, readings were gathered from several machines. The systems fall along different points of
the performance spectrum. This is not
intended to be a comprehensive or even highly comparative analysis of computers,
merely an example to show real world use. Keep in mind that a computer’s power supply rating, and how much power
it uses, are two completely different things. The power supply in the Lenovo S10 is rated for 650W, but it doesn’t
come close to using that whole amount. |
