Introducing the eco-PC

Dell has unveiled a new ecologically sound personal computer it hopes will be an attractive proposition for green consumers.

According to Trendhunter, the yet to be named eco-PC is 81 per cent smaller than standard computers and uses 70 per cent less energy.

Energy savings aren't the only green benefit. The unit is manufactured from recycled materials and features a slick curved outer casing that's made from bamboo.

Rumour has it the eco-PC will be released later this year; it's expected to be priced from between US$500 and US$700.
