Today nearly everyone has a computer, but even the greatest and most popular brands like Toshiba or Fujitsu ignore the fact
that materials used in PCs and laptops pollute the
environment. In addition to this, their use incredible amount of electricity as most people do not turn it off, because of the average 110 seconds booting time. Only few manufacturers try to do something for the environment, and one of the greatest developers is ASUStech. ASUS computers offer superior computing capability with eco-friendly materials, as they contain less lead and other harmful material then other laptops. ASUS invested a incredible funds into development, in order to make its laptops much more energy-efficient then other brands. One of its power saving technologies is EPU (Energy Processing Unit), which is able to control how much power the
motherboard uses. Power4Gear is a piece of software that can be combined with the motherboard and force the CPU to use less power if idle or when running on battery. ASUS is the only manufacturer, which implements these power saving technologies into its laptops and counts very little extra price for them. ASUS also produce its computers in a way that their reusability and recyclability is greatly improved, and the company announces recycling programmes throughout Europe and the United States.
