NEC green monitor; MIO Knight Rider GPS

June 25, 2008

IN THIS ISSUE Seems like just about every electronics manufacturer these days is jumping on the green bandwagon. On our eco-tech blog, GoodCleanTech, we write about a lot of gadgets that claim to be energy-wise, including the NEC MultiSync EA191M monitor, which tells you how much energy it's using. Some of these claims may stretch things a wee bit far; but we prefer this hyper-buzzy ecological awareness to the unfortunate lack of caring that was more standard a couple of years ago. Hopefully a happy medium will arrive one day soon.

And in the on-screen menu, a carbon footprint meter displays your activities, informing you of the monitor's smaller footprint upon using the eco mode feature.

Never judge a book by its cover, right? I'll try and resist. No - hold on. Before I really resist, it looks stretched from side-to-side with a periscope for its optional viewfinder. OK, it's out of my system now. Hands On: Built Laptop Sleeves and Bags Built, a company with an all-encompassing love of neoprene and a penchant for color contrasts, sent us a pair of its products, the Cargo Laptop Sleeve and Laptop Porter, and I must say I'm impressed with the design and comfort of both, if not the price. Mio Knight Rider GPS Mio just leaped to the top of the gotta-have-it GPS pack with its Knight Rider-themed portable navigation unit.
