htm –>Connected: Sleek offering from HP keeps 2nd PC needs slim and trimSaturday June 30 2007By David RadinMost people buy their second personal computer because they need an additional seat — so children can do their homework while mom or dad does the family finances; so more than one child can do homework at the same time; or even just to keep the youths from battling over who gets to use AIM Facebook or MySpace. Yet buying a second computer for your home is a bit different from buying your first — because your needs differ. While you need to fully equip your first computer you may not need all the same bells and whistles on your second. A slimmed down system is just the solution for that second (or third) PC. The latest refresh of the Pavilion Slimline PC from Hewlett Packard fits the bill for that second PC… Yet buying a second computer for your home is a bit different from buying your first — because your needs differ. While you need to fully equip your first computer you may not need all the same bells and whistles on your second. A slimmed down system is just the solution for that second (or third) PC. The latest refresh of the Pavilion Slimline PC from Hewlett Packard fits the bill for that second PC. It doesn’t take up much space it can be configured for most household needs and it easily networks with an existing PC. The updated shiny black case with glowing blue power button reminds me of high-tech devices from years gone by — and looks sleek. But it’s what’s inside that makes a difference.

It all sounds worryingly like seat-of-your-pants management. The next few months could be very interesting indeed. Changes in productionResearchers at computer companies the world over are beginning to put their minds to making PCs greener in terms of materials used and how easy they are to dismantle and recycle. This is not only good for the bottom line but it makes sound business sense. “By 2010 75 percent of our sales will be in markets with WEEE-type regulations – everywhere from Canada and Australia to Dubai and India” says HP’s Kirstie McIntyre. Manufacturers are beginning to think about disassembly early in the design process – anything that makes it quicker and easier to remove components automatically rather than by hand. “Designing for recycling is something that’s been coming for a long time and we’ve been reducing the screws we use the glue and the hazardous waste” she says… If plastics are mixed they will degrade when melted down but if companies use one type of plastic this can be recycled and turned into new laptop cases. There are plans afoot to make a computer’s environmental credentials more transparent. “There are no energy labels on PCs the way there are on washing machines” says PC World’s Victoria Patterson. “People want to see how eco-friendly goods are and what’s inside so a labelling system might make people more aware.
