The Eco Button connects to your computer via a USB cable. Each time you take a short or long break, a phone call, go for a meeting etc. you simply press the Ecobutton™ and your computer is put into energy saving 'ecomode' which ensures that both your computer and monitor draw only the same nominal power as when they are shut down.
Under normal circumstances people generally do not like turning off their computers due to the time it often takes to restart. However, with Eco Button™ by simply pressing any key on your keyboard your computer instantly returns to where you left off.
