Lenovo\'s smallest, quietest and most energy-efficient desktop ever.

ThinkCentre A61e also happens to be the first product to from Lenovo's camp to get EPEAT Gold status.

Lenovo has announced a new desktop PC called the ThinkCentre A61e. It's an ultra small form factor desktop which is claimed to be company's smallest, quietest and most energy-efficient desktop yet.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e has a footprint the size of an average telephone book, whisper quiet performance and choices of energy-efficient, 45-watt AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core and AMD Sempron single core processors. Recognized for its environmental attributes, the ThinkCentre A61e desktop uses up to 90 percent reusable/recyclable materials as well as 90 percent recyclable packaging. It also can be powered by an optional solar panel.

The desktop surpasses Energy Star 4.0 criteria with its 85 percent efficient power supply. As the first desktop in the industry to run on energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core and AMD Sempron single core processors, it can help users save up to 50 percent in energy costs annually over previous models.

For example: A user could save, on average, more than $20 a year in energy costs and the equivalent of the carbon dioxide emissions created by two round-trip plane flights from Boston to New York. A customer deploying as few as 50 desktops could expect to save more than $1,000 a year in energy costs alone. And it could help avoid more than 20,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. A large enterprise deployment of 50,000 desktops could save more than $1 million in annual energy costs and cut more than 20 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

As energy prices rise, finding ways to control these variable costs through more efficient technology becomes increasingly important. Taking up 25 percent less space than previous models and weighing just eight pounds, the ThinkCentre A61e ultra small form factor desktop fits the shrinking real estate in today Page:1/1
