When old electrical appliances like fridges and washing machines stop working, we can reduce our carbon footprint and save on our energy bills by replacing them with A or A+ rated versions. But what do we do when our home PCs die? Is a laptop any more efficient than a standard desktop PC?
According to DEFRA (The UK's Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), a new laptop uses about 80% less energy than a new desktop and monitor. This is because laptops are designed to be more efficient to allow them to be smaller and portable.
