Samsung takes eco-friendly to the desktop with MV100 and MZ100

We know how much you just love eco-friendly desktop computers, so rejoice dear readers: Samsung, on a green kick lately with its free gadget recycling program and edible cellphones, is announcing two new desktops that, individually, consume just 60W of power when on and 1W when in suspend mode. Both the MV100 Tower (the wider one) and MZ100 Slim Tower (the, uh, slimmer one) run Intel's fairly fresh G43 chipset and come with your choice of GeForce 9500GS or 9600GT for graphics. Those are the only vital stats we have to pass on so far, though, and no word on when or if these two will be available outside of Korea.

Whooo Weeee!

The MZ100 comes with an ugly head and a hideous dress.

[Frankie @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:54PM]

F the desktop, I'll take one of those girls to the lap-top. (self high-five)

[Mike @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:39PM]

In before "phwoar, check out those model" comments.

[Mike @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:43PM]

Models. And I was still too late.

[Billy Fiul @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:40PM]

LOL, How much for the two Chinese girls, LOL?

[crow610 @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:43PM]

My guess is that they are Korean, Samsung?

[hi im a mac @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:45PM]

wow i think im going to upgrade my computer i mean girlfriend

[ThatOneKid @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:52PM]

Every white guy that dates an asian girl there is an asian guy wondering if he can get a white girl. Or at least an asian girl

[JC @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:19PM]

@ ThatOneKid:

And for every 100 of them, there's one of you, single and trolling from your parents' basement. Oh yeah, I went there.

[Kyakko @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:37PM]

ThatOneKid, that's only in Hollywood. Of all the races, white girls are the easiest to get. One of my ex's were white and they usually approach me at bars (though most of them that do are ugly, there are some hot ones).

[Abuzar Baloach @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:56PM]

Yes, brag about how you can only get Ugly white girls...

[happy_penguin @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:55PM]

Racism. Alive and well.

[Kyakko @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:36PM]

Yea, you keep on believing that

[happy_penguin @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:26PM]

The proof is right there in black and white.

[Konstantin @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:42PM]

I call the one on the right (the model of course, not the desktop).

[Stiv @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:10PM]

Agreed! The one on the right FTW!

[NineT9mustang @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:48PM]

The only reason I ever click these Stories that have Asian Women in the picture is to read the comments... lol love it

[neofolklore @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:32PM]

yep. I always click on ones with irrelevant asian models and anything about megapixels, just to see the discussions or lack thereof

[DolphThePinkFlamingo @ Oct 6th 2008 7:32AM]

Seconded. The comments are always pretty entertaining. And a tag for this would be awesome indeed!

[mmh @ Oct 3rd 2008 12:55PM]

Yes, the slimmer one, please.

[cromas @ Oct 3rd 2008 2:40PM]

I'm pretty sure both of these girls can read minds. In the Zoolander sense, that is.

[bill @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:53PM]

I'll take the fat one!

[Edward @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:29PM]

Pass. On the PCs and the models. I've seen far better.

[neofolklore @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:33PM]

but have neither

[Stiv @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:55PM]

Burn!

[Ghen @ Oct 3rd 2008 1:38PM]

ITS A TRAP! I swear that one on the left is 16, and the other one is her mom. No thanks!

[Ray @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:05PM]

16 year old asian girls are legal, OH YEAH!

...

That sounded better in my head.

[LloydChiro @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:31PM]

Ha ha. I'll take the mom, thanks.

[Benson @ Oct 3rd 2008 2:05PM]

How am I supposed to know which is "the slimmer one"? One of them's hiding behind the monitor!

[Ryan Karolak @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:01PM]

Two hot asian girls... I'm definitely buying whatever that is now. I don't need to read the description.

[none @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:39PM]

They are qinese, please go to qina. ;)

[Poom @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:42PM]

Wow, not a single comment is about the desktop itself. LOL!!!

[J.O @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:20PM]

What desktop?

[toasty7 @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:49PM]

This article was about desktops?

[webon @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:53PM]

why do they allways use a cute one and a... well not so cute one to model this things? is it to analogize with the 2 products on display?

[Shinigami @ Oct 4th 2008 5:38AM]

Is that picture an AD for PCs or GIRLs? I guess its second...

As for PCs - you can build something like that yourself. Just build a barebone laptop and don't connect it to a keyboard and a screen directly :)

[Kai @ Oct 4th 2008 6:10AM]

I'm quite surprised that Samsung decided to include the GeForce 9500GS or 9600GT - they aren't the most powerful but compared to other small-form-factor PCs or energy-saving PCs, these are definitely more powerful than integrated graphics or the GeForce 9400 GT that is usually included in such PCs.

[thebense @ Oct 4th 2008 12:20PM]

lol i have that same wallpaper from interfacelift

[Ethan @ Oct 4th 2008 2:59PM]

Great dress, can't really summon an opinion on the PC though.

[xconan @ Oct 4th 2008 11:33PM]

crow610: i think you're right. clicking on the read link goes the akhihabra page where they take mostly photo ops korean and japanese trade shows. the larger pictures are not so much air brushed and they appear to be in their mid 20s i think. i'll take both of them if they came with the pc.

[pol @ Oct 15th 2008 5:58AM]

I think the girl on the right is this:

[yode @ Oct 3rd 2008 10:01PM]

no she's not...racist

[pol @ Oct 15th 2008 5:59AM]

"The selling point of these desktops is their low power consumption, only 1W in stand-by and 60W in power saving mode."
http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_details.php?id=16805

@engadget why didnt u mention this

[Brett @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:31PM]

Yeah, I wish they'd posted something like, "two new desktops that, individually, consume just 60W of power when on and 1W when in suspend mode."
