Make a count of the electronic equipment you have in the house. Your handphone, laptops, desktops, cordless phones, tv, psp, wii, ps3... the list goes on.

Ever wonder how much energy these electronics consume?

Greenpeace has recently updated their Guide to Greener Electronics. So here's a list that ranks the top 18 manufacturers in terms of its GREENness (on the scale of 10):

5.1 Sony Ericsson - Leading with almost top marks on toxic chemical phase out but poor on recycling.
5.1 Sony - High score for products free of the worst toxic chemicals and committed to cuts in it's greenhouse gas emissions.
4.8 Nokia - Docked one penalty point for poor take-back practice in India. High renewable energy use.
4.5 Samsung- Scores well on chemicals and waste criteria. But very poor on energy issues.
4.5 - Dell - Good on toxic chemicals and e-waste, but low score on energy issues.
4.3 Toshiba - Scores well on toxic chemicals but badly on e-waste and energy.
4.3 Acer - Good commitment to phase out toxic chemicals, but poor overall on e-waste and energy.
4.3 Panasonic - Several products free of toxic chemicals and good energy efficiency, but poor on e-waste.
4.3 Motorola - Average scores for toxic chemicals, e-waste and energy issues.
4.3 HP - Good on amounts recycled and committed to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
4.1 Apple - Increasing number of products free of the worst toxic chemicals. Low scores on energy except for good energy efficiency in products.
3.9 Sharp - Good on toxic chemicals and energy efficiency but very poor on recycling.
3.9 Lenovo - Some points for toxic chemical commitment and good on product energy efficiency.
3.7 Philips - Top score on energy issues but zero on e-waste policy and practice.
3.7 Fujitsu Siemens - Some products free of the worst toxic chemicals but poor on e-waste and energy issues.
3.3 LG - Some points on toxic chemicals and e-waste but zero on energy.
2.15 Microsoft - Some commitments on toxic chemical phase out but poor on e-waste and energy issues.
0.8 Nintendo - Some improvement on toxic chemicals and commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Another point to highlight is that laptops are still very much more energy efficient than desktops (source here).

Notebooks are the most obvious way to save energy in home computing and client-side office computers. Energy consumption is a critical factor in notebook design. It determines how long the batteries will last, which should at least be a couple of hours even with the most power-hungry processor. As a consequence laptops use the most energy efficient displays (LCD), adapters, hard disks and CPUs that are available. All CPU manufacturers have special mobile versions of their CPUs sporting PowerNow! (AMD), SpeedStep (Intel) and LongRun (Transmeta) power-management features.
