Everex has released their $200 "green" PC, it is currently available at Wal-Mart online and will soon be available in select Wal-Mart locations."It's $200, with no gimmicks or subsidies," Everex spokesman David Liu said.
I don't really understand this because you can't run much on this computer at all. It stinks that I'm sucking up so much energy but the fact of the matter is I am a programmer and a designer. I use Flash, I use Photoshop and Dreamweaver libraries...so I need something that's not going to freak out and stall if I need those programs open. And I need something that will allow me to have all of them installed and then some. You know what I mean?
You can access the web, email friends and family or play the latest DVDs without much difficulty. But look at these specs: 1.5GHz, VIA C7-D Processor, 512MB DDR2 533MHz, SDRAM, 80GB Hard Disk Drive...WoW players will not be participating in this "green" purchasing. Sorry environment nerds...I hear your pleas for help in our energy crises but I can't do this one. But I applaud your efforts!
