Environmentally responsible Lenovo is committed to protecting the environment and keeping your energy costs low. And we're especially proud that select models (ThinkPad SL300 only) are EPEAT Gold rated, EPEAT Silver rated (ThinkPad SL400/SL500) and Climate Savers certified. To earn a silver rating, the ThinkPad SL had to pass a set of 23 required performance criteria and 28 optional criteria in 8 categories. The new Energy Star 4.0 label attesting to their superior efficiency and low emissions.

Our latest notebooks are extremely energy efficient. The Energy Star 4.0 label requires that discrete graphics models in idle state consume less than 22W power, integrated graphics models less than 14W. This lowers operating costs, obviously. But it also means less overall energy use and reduced heat emissions — making a Lenovo notebook a wise choice for the environment.
