Lenovo offers portfolio of PCs meeting Energy Star 5.0 specification

Lenovo Group (0992.HK; LNVGY.PK) announced Tuesday that more than 25 of its Think-branded business and Idea-branded consumer PCs meet the new ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 Specification for Computers, which goes into effect on July 1, 2009.

Lenovo PCs including the ThinkPad X301, T400s, W700ds and the IdeaPad U330 and Y430 laptops and select ThinkCentre M58, M58p and M58e Eco desktops have been 5.0 certified and available to purchase for up to six months.

ENERGY STAR, a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, provides a system to rate the energy efficiency of various products.

Lenovo's fleet of ENERGY STAR 5.0 certified PCs adhere to various standards including power management and on-mode power consumption requirements.

ThinkPad laptops have continued to raise the industry bar in innovative environmental design with technologies such as solid-state drives, LED backlit displays and low-power processors that help decrease the PCs' energy consumption.

Also, Lenovo's Power Manager feature helps users monitor their energy usage and conserve battery life.
