Green Desktop Soluion

Save money and the environment when upgrading your PCs

Overview

We all use computers everyday to do our jobs. In fact many of us own/operate multiple computers each day at home, in the office, maybe even on the road or to watch TV. This technology is convenient and puts us in touch with people and information at the touch of a button.

 

All this technology is unfortunately causing a major impact on our environment, from resource and power consumption to physical and toxic waste problems. Governments, advocacy organizations, and companies like NewGen who have a significant influence are working to educate the public to help reduce this impact. Read more about NewGen and the Environment.

 

“It ain’t easy being green” but we have a solution. The Green Desktop solution is a package designed for organizations who are upgrading their PCs, and are concerned about the impact of their new computers on the environment. With the Green Desktop solution we have done the research and tested the solution for you, putting together a solution that is green throughout its lifecycle.

 
Before Ownership

  • Smaller, lighter design requires fewer materials to produce
  • Smaller packaging decreases waste and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from transport
  • Built using recycled materials when possible
  • Designed to use materials that are easier to recycle
  • Constructed to be easily disassembled at end-of-life
  • Use of toxic chemicals in production minimized, and is compliant with RoHS standards

 

During Ownership

  • Produces less heat reducing the power needed to cool offices
  • Consumes less than half of the electricity of a traditional PC (a savings of over 8400kwh per PC)
  • Reduces Carbon Footprint (produces almost 4.5 to 7.5 tons less CO2 per PC)
  • Quiet operation reduces sound pollution

 

End-of-Life

  • Built to be easily disassembled for recycling
  • Compact size and components reduce space needed to store non-recyclable materials
  • Includes free secure disposal service from NewGen

 

The Green Desktop solution is the ideal direct replacement solution for your end-of-life computers.

 

Business case

Cost Savings

Going green makes good business sense because it significantly reduces the operating costs of your equipment by reducing power consumption from ~8968kW-h to a nominal 562kW-h, and lowering air conditioning costs (savings vary). As the price of energy continues to rise, the net cost savings will cover most if not the full value of the equipment within its 3-5 year lifecycle.

 

Environmental Responsibility

If your organization doesn’t currently have a corporate environmental policy in place, it likely soon will. The Green Desktop solution is an ideal way to showcase your environmental responsibility. Replacing just 1 PC can reduce carbon emissions by 4.5 to 7.5 metric tons.

 

Get the latest greatest technology

In addition to the preceding savings you get the latest technology including Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processors, solid state hard drives, security chips and Microsoft Windows Vista.

 

Write it all off this year

Only available this year, the federal government has created a tax amendment allowing you to write off 100% of IT assets purchased this year.

 

Get help with financing

For a limited time, HP is offering 0% financing for hardware leases worth more than $7000.
