"I haven't bought a computer in a few years but I don't think the environmental impact is something I would look at when shopping around," said Nick Graham, a third year physical education student. "And I definitely wouldn't pay any extra money for it."
"For me, it's not so much that I wouldn't buy a green computer as much as I just don't want to buy a Mac," said Kyle Hardy, a second year Communications student. "Maybe if there was an environmentally friendly PC I'd consider it, but only if it had the same specs and price as any other computer."
Not everyone is so quick to rule out a green computer, however.
"I would definitely look into it," said Jane Lovett, a third year Brock student. "I think with all the awareness regarding the environment, it is our responsibility to do what we can whenever possible."
The jury is still out on whether consumers are looking for sustainability when buying their next computer. Apple hopes it's enough to give would-be Mac users debating between an Apple computer and a PC that extra little push towards a MacBook, but in the meantime is looking to scoop up the market of the more environmentally conscious among us.
