Top tips for power-efficient personal computing

HP business desktop PCs, notebooks and workstations are designed with built-in energy-saving intelligence – from pre-set sleep states and adjustable fan speeds to thermal and power management technology.

HP business desktop PCs
All HP 5000 and 7000 series business PCs can be configured to meet the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® guidelines, the most recognized national symbol for energy efficiency in the U.S. These product lines are designed around many of the industry's newest and most energy-efficient technologies.

The ENERGY STAR logo means that your PC has been configured and tested to stringent energy consumption standards as set forth by the EPA. All ENERGY STAR qualified Business Desktop PCs from HP are also EPEAT™ Gold registered – reaching even a higher standard of environmental attributes.

Check out the HP Compaq dc7900 business PC. It features many of the latest innovations in energy-saving PC technology, including low-power PC components, an advanced thermal design and user-controlled power management software. It’s also available with up to 87 percent efficient power supplies.

HP business notebook PCs
Nearly all HP business notebooks are ENERGY STAR® qualified for power efficiency. The HP Illumi-Lite display in select notebooks uses highly efficient, mercury-free LED screens, which can significantly lengthen your battery life.
Ambient light sensors on certain models help reduce your power consumption by automatically adjusting display brightness to lighting conditions. Many HP commercial notebooks support solid state drives that can reduce heat and increase battery life.

You can lighten your workload and your power consumption with HP EliteBook 2530p or 2730p Notebook PCs. Both include the features above and are EPEAT™ Gold rated.

HP personal workstations
HP’s entire Personal Workstation line achieved an EPEAT™ Gold rating. All 2008 models feature 80 percent efficient power supplies standard and have ENERGY STAR® qualified configurations available.

Many power-saving settings are standard across the workstation family, such as energy-efficient processors, adjustable fan speeds and pre-set sleep states. Sleep mode “powers down” non-critical components during periods of inactivity, yet allows the workstation to be quickly “woken up” to resume computing. High-end workstation models also feature HP liquid cooling technology.

Calculate your energy consumption with the new Workstation Power Usage Estimator. A step-by-step guide helps you make simple power measurements and input data into a customizable spreadsheet. Compare different hardware and usage scenarios to help estimate your energy-saving potential.
