When we covered the news that in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and the State of Washington, we noted that there had to be more to the story. Alienware might be loudly declaring that it can’t sell in these states due to power efficiency requirements, but nobody else is. In fact, the word from other manufacturers is that nobody considers these requirements much of a problem. It turns out, there’s a crucial bit of context Alienware didn’t disclose: The new power requirements that went into effect on July 1 apply to idle power consumption, not load. The sharp constraints on total PC power consumption do not apply when the system is being used for things.

It might not be something you want to think actively about – life admin being what it is – but your data isn’t safe unless you’re proactively protecting it. If you lose your phone, or if it’s stolen, broken, or becomes non-functional for any reason, you lose something far more valuable – your photos, conversations, contacts and more, generated and saved over long periods of time. The same goes for your computer, your tablet, and any device you actively use. Keeping your data safe and backed up should be a top priority, though of course, modern life gets in the way until it’s too late.
New regulations have gone into effect in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington that prevent Alienware from continuing to ship high-end desktops to customers that live in these locations, the company said. While Alienware is the only manufacturer we’ve seen currently calling this out on its website, the new regulations would impact any ODM attempting to sell high-end PC hardware in the state. No other ODM manufacturer appears to be showing these notices yet. This may be because Alienware systems are uniquely impacted, or because other manufacturers haven’t yet done the due diligence to come into compliance with regulations.
