Dell Cuts Customers PC Reltated Energy Costs by 25% Since 2008
Dells work to further reduce the energy use of its desktops and laptops has cut its customers related energy costs by 25 percent or more since 2008, making good on a commitment the company made to customers and the planet two years ago. The 25-percent reduction builds on major efficiency leaps some Dell models saw in previous years. The energy efficiency of Dells OptiPlex desktops, for example, improved nearly 50 percent from 2005 to 2008, and Dell Latitude laptops improved 16 percent from 2006 to 2008.
Some Dell products significantly exceeded the 25 percent improvement in the past two years. Dells OptiPlex 980 small form factor and OptiPlex 780 ultra-small form factor systems, for example, both achieved 48 percent reductions in energy use when compared to their similarly configured predecessors, the OptiPlex 960 and OptiPlex 760. Dell has also completed its transition to LED displays across its laptop portfolio. In addition to being mercury-free, LED displays deliver significant energy savings compared to cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) technology. For example, Dells 15-inch LED displays consume an average of 43 percent less power at maximum brightness, resulting in extraordinary cost and carbon savings.
