It might seem unlikely, but at the Cebit technology show in March, Fujitsu is set to debut a PC that consumes zero watts when in standby, and plans to have the product, called the Esprimo Green, on the market by the summer.
The zero-watt PC comes in ahead of European legislation mandating that units like this, consuming less than a watt of power when on standby, should be standard by 2010, and joins Fujitsu’s other zero-watt venture, its monitor.
Unsurprisingly, the company isn’t offering any details about the unit, which it describes as “the next step.” Fujitsu says the PC will still be administrable when in standby.
The zero-watt PC is part of a range of green products the company will demonstrate at the show.
