Solar Powered Lenovo "Blue Sky" A61e PC

With a lot of voices rising in support of the “Global Warming” issue currently. A lot of emphasis is being laid on the consumption of electricity around the world. Everyone has been talking about the use of renewable sources of energy like solar power and hydroelectricity to reduce the emission of gases resulting from thermal power plants.

In my view in addition to the alternate ways of power production, we should also try to build and use appliances that work on renewable sources like solar power. Currently there are hundreds or probably thousands of things powered by solar power ranging from a simple solar cooker to high tech automobiles.

But, because I have always been a computer savvy since my childhood. I always used to wonder can my PC be solar powered. The latest innovation from Lenovo has made my childhood imagination come true.

Ultra Efficient and Solar Powered Lenovo
Lenovo has recently came out with an Ultra efficient solar powered A61e PC. With its AMD Athlon X2 Dual-core Processor, it only takes up 45 watts, and can be powered by an optional solar panel. It's rumored to be the quietest Thinkcenter PC ever, smaller than the last one by 25%, and weighs less than 8 pounds. It is also an "EPEAT Gold rated PC" and Energy star 4.0 compliant.

But I wonder how many of us will actually go and buy this one. Designed for offices, it is priced at $399.
