A Green Desktop Computer: The HP rp5700

Last summer, the HP rp5700 was welcomed with plenty of Green fanfare.  At the time it was the first desktop computer to achieve the Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold rating.  Since then a number of other desktops have stepped up to achieve this rating, however, the rp5700 still holds the highest score (20 out of 24). 

Unlike many other computers that are purposely made with short life spans (Planned Obsolescence) the HP rp5700 has an expected life of at least 5 years.  90% of the materials used to make the rp5700 are recyclable.  It is easily disassembled and meets the EU’s strict RoHS compliance standards.  Plus, 25% of the packaging materials come from recycled material, and 90% of it is recyclable and clearly labeled.  All this means less junk for our landfills!

During the years that you’ll be rocking the rp5700 you can rest easy knowing that you will be wasting far less energy than you would with a lesser model.  The rp5700 has been found to reduce power consumption by as much as 80% over conventional PC use making more than qualified for it’s Energy Star 4.0 compliance cert. 

On top of leaving your conscience clean this bad boy should satisfy your performance hungry side with available Intel Core2 Duo 2.13 GHz, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB SATA Hard Drive and much more!
