CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Desktops. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of desktop.

EPA Energy Star compliant desktop computer

The EPA's Energy Star program helps buyers easily identify the products with efficient energy consumption among a broad range of electronics and appliances.

WEEE compliant desktop computer

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive is another European Union measure to curb toxic waste. WEEE compliance ensures buyers that the manufacturer has a take-back program that will properly dispose of the product at the end of its life. This gives manufacturers an incentive to design products that can be recycled easily and efficiently.

Does that mean manufacturers will properly dispose of electronics for their U.S. customers? In most cases, no.

Energy Star compliant desktop computer

Energy Star compliant products use less energy to save money and the environment. Although Energy Star's criteria and compliance may be comparatively simple to other ecologically concerned standards, the categories are much broader. It may not be long until every electronic device sold in the U.S. is eligible for the Energy Star logo provided it has appropriate energy consumption.
