Save Electricity by Ditching Desktop Computers.

Are you still using those old fashioned desktops? Do you know that desktop consumes power in the range of 200W to 350W depending upon its processor speed, screen type etc.

Chirayu Power strongly suggests you to sell out those power hungry desktops and switch to power saver laptops. Laptops consume electricity in the range of 70W to 130W per hour.

Hence if you replace one 200W desktop with 100W laptop, and if you use your laptop 5 hours a day, then in an year you will save:

(200W – 100W) * 5 * 365 = 1,82,500W !!

Just by replacing one desktop, you can save around 183 units of electricity!

If you are planning to get a desktop, think again. Get a laptop instead and Go-Green!!
