Just $1.36 a Year to Power Your iPad

If you're looking to conserve electricity--get an iPad. According to the Electric Power Research Institute, a desktop PC costs $28.21 to power for a year. That's more than 20 times as much as an iPad. For even greater savings, use an iPhone. A year's worth of electricity is estimated at just 38-cents.

Unfortunately, your electricity savings won't offset the purchase price for quite a while so you'll need to factor in the fun you'll have as well. Let me know if you need help boosting your fun factor!
