Dell claims 47% saving
Dell this week introduced its latest "green" PC, a desktop PC aimed at small and medium businesses, which the company claims can save firms almost half on their annual electricity bills, says vnunet.com.
The Energy Smart Vostro 410 features a range of energy-saving measures, including Dell's Energy Smart configuration which provides default power settings designed to exceed the requirements of the widely recognised Energy Star standard.
According to Dell Labs, tests earlier this month comparing a Vostro 410 with the Energy Smart settings with a standard model, the settings can save firms up to 47% in energy costs.

Romanian PC market grows
Mobile PCs are beginning to overtake desktop sales in Romania as the PC market continues strong double-digit growth, reports My ESM.
Romania's total PC market in 2007 was worth $828 million, according to Diana Preda, systems and hardware analyst for IDC Romania. She expects 52% growth to $1.26 billion in 2008.
Notebook PC unit demand is up 128% year-on-year and shows no signs of abating, according to the research firm. Desktop shipments, however, have slowed sharply to single-digit growth rates.
