Fujitsu is taking a big step in helping our environment. They have released into the Japanese market a green laptop that could be considered powered by wind. What does could be considered mean? Well, for every laptop sold, Fujitsu is buying a certain amount of green-power energy credits.  The amount of energy credits purchased for laptop sold corresponds to each laptop being charged for 4 1/2 hours a day for four years. Basically, Fujitsu is trying to offset the carbon emissions their computers create, and by doing so making their product and company a greener one.

Although this is not a technological advance, it’s certainly one step closer to a greener lifestyle. The question now is: when will fujitsu release this business idea to the rest of the world, and will they ever develop a laptop that is literally powered by wind?
