Dell Halts Some US Gaming PC Shipments Over New Energy Efficiency Regulations

News 18  

PC maker Dell said it has stopped shipping some versions of its powerful gaming systems to California and five other states because the products do not meet new energy efficiency standards. The regulations affect “select configurations” of its Alienware Aurora R10 and R12 gaming PCs, Dell said in a statement sent to Reuters late on Tuesday. Dell said it planned to have new models and configurations that “will meet or exceed these regulations, in line with our long-term focus to address energy and emissions.” It did not give details on why specific models did not meet energy standards, what it planned to change and or when new models would be introduced. The state has said the new standards will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and will also lower electricity bills for consumers.
