Very PC intros 16 watt Fulwood mini desktop

And you thought the compared to many desktops.

Very says the green machine hasn't sacrificed performance, suggesting the Fulwood sports four times the performance of rival Intel Atom-based eco PCs.

The package include an Intel P9500 2.5GHz dual core processor (not bad), 250GB hard drive, Intel x4500HD graphics card (fine for watching videos but not great for hardcore gaming), Vista Premium, and a DVD rewritable drive. Optional extras include Wi-Fi, TV tuner and Bluetooth. It's worth noting the power draw jumps to 19 watts when idling if you include all the extras.

The Fulwood looks good on paper. It does, however, win a booby prize for an obscure naming reference no one beyond the Peak District will get: Fulwood is a "prestigious" suburb in Sheffield, Very PC's home town.

You can preorder the Fulwood from 25 September, and it'll be available from mid October. Pricing: £868-1104, depending on spec.
