imageEcobutton, the latest energy saving gadget for PCs works not by preventing your computer going into standby altogether, but instead, allows you to put it into a low-energy mode that will quickly revert to full working function.

By putting your computer into a special ‘ecomode’, Ecobutton saves more energy than normal sleep mode, drawing only the same nominal power as when the computer and the monitor are completely shut down. It helps you save energy while taking a phone call or a break, while doing paperwork, lunch or meetings. At the touch of any button, the computer instantly returns to where you left off and displays a splash screen showing both money and carbon (CO2) savings.

Ecobutton is good way to keep us realizing that we are going green. There’s an old fashioned way to save with your computer setting. We can set the blank, standby and hybernate timer, but usually some people don’t like this, because they wanted instant CPU wake-up as soon as they sit back in front of their computer.

Bought it… tried it, tested it… wow you push it it puts yours system in standby mode.. wow thanks for wasting my $20… a quick test clamping the computer electrical use shows no difference between normal standby and the ecobutton standby… if anything I think its worse constantly flashing its annoying LED’s and then every time you wake pops up a very annoying full screen pop-up. Needless to say, they have a return coming back from them… hate scam products.
