Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

For those that are constant readers of BizToolbelt you should already know that I am fan of green products. I've got news of a solar powered PC from Lenovo. It's called Lenovo "Blue Sky" A61e, and is running on AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Processor that consumes only 45 Watts. But the thing I appreciate the most is that it can run on solar energy thanks to the optional solar panel.

Lenovo "Blue Sky" A61e is an Energy star 4.0 compliant, "EPEAT Gold rated PC", that weights only 8pounds, and is smaller than other ThinkCenter PCs by at least 25%. Here are some brief specs:

 

• Serial ATA hard drives (7200rpm) from 80GB to 750GB
• up to 4GB of RAM memory
• DVD combo (rom and recordable)
• 6 USB 2.0, media card reader

This is designed for office, to cut down on your power bill while delivering performance. The price is $399 from what we've heard!
