NEC Launches "PowerMate Eco" Green PC

Posted by michael on from the leave-only-footprints dept.

jdstahl writes "NEC has just released the PowerMate Eco, billed as the world's first environmentally-friendly PC. Based on a 900 MHz Transmeta Crusoe (thanks Linus!), it is ultra-compact, ultra low power, and nearly silent. Its motherboard contains no lead, and the case is made from recycled plastic. Its expandability is limited, so this is probably not a geek-box, but it seems like an appealing choice for Joe Desktop."

    I posted first because I could! This actually sounds like a really good idea. Not my choice for expandibility, but for my parents or grandparents it would be great.

    When I follow the link I come to a page where the fonts are all squished up vertically, with outliers like "g" dangling down and colliding with the next line's "P"s. Anyone else see this? Yes I run at 1600x1200 with mozilla's minimum font size set pretty high.

    You know somebody had to ask this question...

    It doesn't come with Linux?

    Even with Linus' company's processory, it still has Bill's crappy anti-"piracy" message :(
