HP Pavilion Phoenix
$659.00
Released October, 2008
The Cons:Not REALLY any more green than any other computer - intentionally misleading and praying on stupid consumer guilt / trends. Not worth $659. No DVI/HDMI output, nForce 430 chipset is no real energy saver.

Yale:
#hp_pavilion_phoenix While utilizing onboard graphics does in fact decease the overall energy consumption of a pc (most store bought PCs that aren't geared towards gamers use onboard graphics anyway), a low power processor actually utilizes about the same amount of electricity as any other when running idle - which is most of the time. There is nothing else remotely "green" about this PC, or any other PC. In fact, it is said that most of the energy expended by a PC is in manufacturing.
