We like:
Design; quiet operation
We don't like:
Comparatively pricey; low-end specification
CNET UK judgement:
The Eco PC can save you money on electricity, but you'll need be at least an 8-hours-a-day, every day kind of user in order to reap any serious rewards. It's fairly pricey, so you'll also have to keep it for a good few years before it starts paying for itself. But all in all, the low wattage when idle and the recycled packaging help make the Eco PC into a green statement
