Lenovo PCs go thin 'n green

If "Small is beautiful" was the mantra in the desktop personal computer business previously, it's time to add another tag, "Thin and green".

Chinese PC maker giant Lenovo has built what is possibly the thinnest, smallest, quietest and the least power consumer desktop computer. The A61E ThinkCentre launched in India this week, has achieved the highest 'gold' status of the industry's Green Electronics Council - rating based on the energy effeciency as well as 90% recyclable parts and packaging.

The version begins at Rs.15,800(excluding monitor) and are configured with a choice of AMD processors .

The dual core Athlon 64X2 or the mono core Sempron. The footprint is 8cm width by 27cm length by 17cm breadth and the machine weighs just over 3kg. It has a hard disk capacity of 80gb. Different models run Windows 2000 or Vista Business. It strengthens the partnership with chip maker AMD,whose dual core processor used here takes just 45 watts - less than an average incandescent lightbulb.
