Computing Power And Sustainability In Your Hands

I have had the privilege to use the Prime Mini 5 PC from Prime computers. I believe this is one of the best green innovations when it comes to personal computers of our time. For a long time, the challenge of the effects of the digital era especially driven by investments in Personal computers for the office environment has been a headache. Yes, computers no matter the size have fueled much of the transformation that the global economy is experiencing today, but the question of the environmental footprint has always emerged. For computer systems, their usage and disposal has created a challenge for the environment; on usage especially in developing economies that are heavily reliant on fossil-fuel run generators to power their systems, computers have been a great source of concern mainly because most of the computers in the market today (or at least those shipped to Africa as donations from the west) are fairly large in size, consume a lot of power and their performance is not as fast compared to the technology in place today. When it comes to disposal, computer systems are non-biodegradable, and thus, their disposal presents a challenge to their owners, governments and environmentalists. Thus, the bigger the physical size of the computer, the more challenging the disposal becomes. Green Information technology experts have therefore for long advocated for size and efficiency in terms of power consumption as key elements of a new era of sustainable computing devices. But there is a catch; performance comes with consumption, and therefore the big headache for computer designers has been, how do we develop a small computer that has the computing power and capability of “mainframes” while at the same time ensuring that the computer is power efficient? For a long time, I thought this was technically impossible in our time, but ala!, here comes the Prime mini 5 PC, physically smaller in size to fit on the palm of your hand (but don’t be fooled by the size, it weighs more than the size can tell), efficiently faster than you can imagine and more, it produces no noise when in operation. The prime mini 5 from prime computers is a great innovation, one that every green organization or any organization that really cares for the environment should consider. It combines environmental friendly features with the computing capabilities that can really be economically beneficial to any organization. Talking about the economics of such green computing devices, in its report “the business case for green economy” the United nations environmental programme (UNEP) presents compelling arguments and evidence that despite the heavy investment that may come with investing in green systems, Going green really pays, that the economic value for green projects is not only beneficial to the universe, but pays back in every way to your organization. As a person who has had the chance to use the Prime mini 5, courtesy of @wedonthavetime, I would recommend it to any organization, and to any person. I really feel proud to know that there are firms out there that are ready to walk the talk on the need to transition from the re-additional way of utilizing resources to a more greener approach that focuses on a shared responsibility for our universe. Hence here i give them a review of thumb up! keep it up and i believe together we are the solution solvers in our planet!
