Fujitsu To Add The Zero-Watt PC

Fujitsu To Add The Zero-Watt PC

It might seem unlikely, but at the Cebit technology show in March, Fujitsu is set to debut a PC that consumes zero watts when in standby, and plans to have the product, called the Esprimo Green, on the market by the summer.

The zero-watt PC comes in ahead of European legislation mandating that units like this, consuming less than a watt of power when on standby, should be standard by 2010, and joins Fujitsu’s other zero-watt venture, its monitor.

Unsurprisingly, the company isn’t offering any details about the unit, which it describes as “the next step.” Fujitsu says the PC will still be administrable when in standby.

The zero-watt PC is part of a range of green products the company will demonstrate at the show.

This new Windows 11 feature is a great addition for PC gamers

Microsoft is developing improved controls for Windows 11 users, aiming to change how the operating system manages high refresh rate monitors. The latest Windows 11 preview build includes the ability to automatically adjust the refresh rate on multiple monitors based on what content is being displayed.

“We have improved refresh rate logic to allow different refresh rates on different monitors, depending on the refresh rate for each monitor and content shown on the screen. This will help most with refresh rate-dependent multitasking, like playing a game and watching a video at the same time,” said Microsoft’s Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc in a blog post announcing the new preview build.

This dual-PC desktop is insane in more ways than one
CLX Hathor PC sitting on a coffee table.

The CLX Hathor is absurd. That's not inherently a bad thing -- a lot of the best gaming PCs are absurd in one form or another -- but the idea of packing two PCs into one case with the most powerful hardware available today (while charging a clean $7,000 for it) is ridiculous.

But CLX did it. It's not a new concept. Dual-PC setups have been a staple of streaming for years, and machines like the Origin Big O cram a gaming PC, streaming PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch into a single case (you can't buy it, for what it's worth). By that standard, the CLX Hathor is quaint, and that's maybe why it's so interesting. It doesn't break new ground, but it makes the dual-PC setup more convenient than ever. The question still remains, though: Why would anyone buy this?
