http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/category/office en-us 40 <p>I just saw today a nice demo of the power consumption of laptop, desktop PC and a mobile device. Of course I knew that laptop beats PC hands down, but this made it really concrete. </p> <p>Additionally, the comparison to a mobile device gets one thinking how we could drive this even much, much further!</p> <p><img src="http://ekoneko.com:4566/files/07022008041.jpg" height="360"></p> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:56:00 +0200 urn:uuid:e7075616-5877-4ad6-8b98-62a84ebc126e panu http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/2008/02/07/laptop-vs-pc-energy-consumption Office laptop PC http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/trackback/14 <p>Being energy efficient is increasingly creeping into offices too.</p> <p>ITworld cites that flat panel displays consume 67-75 % less energy than old bulky CRT monitors. I assume that nobody is really buying CRTs anymore, so it's perhaps more interesting question how to further save energy in using flat displays. For example, will screen savers actually save energy? The <a href="http://ecenter.colorado.edu/energy/projects/green_computing.html" title="Green computing guide">Green computing guide</a> by University of Colorado reminds that "if screen saver images appear on your monitor for more than 5 minutes, you are wasting energy". So adjust your screens to go to sleep after 20 min of inactivity.</p> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:03:00 +0200 urn:uuid:a9d4c9d7-1975-4599-97bd-8a8560100398 admin http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/2007/12/29/green-computing-report Office http://ekoneko.com/blog/articles/trackback/7
