HP Unveils Affordable, Energy-saving Business PC Products

HP today announced a variety of affordable, energy-efficient desk-based products and environmentally friendly features for business customers. Available today, the new HP Compaq dx2250 Desktop PC is a reliable, full-featured business computer featuring energy-efficient processors to help lower a customer’s total cost of ownership. HP also plans to offer 80 percent efficient power supplies on select desktop business PCs. The optional power supplies offer greater energy savings to customers and will allow HP to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recently announced ENERGY STAR® 4.0 requirements in January 2007 – a full six months before the new guidelines take effect.

HP additionally announced a trade-in program to make it more affordable for customers to obtain thin client technology – which uses the lowest watt processors of any business computing option – while disposing of old technology in an environmentally responsible manner. “As the world’s largest PC manufacturer, HP understands there’s a lot at stake when it comes to energy efficiency, from the rising cost of resources to the environmental impact,” said Jeff Groudan, vice president, Business PC Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP. “We continue to proactively design, develop and incorporate energy-saving technologies into our products.”

The HP Compaq dx2250 Business Desktop microtower PC is available with a range of high-performance AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core,(1) AMD Athlon 64(2) and AMD Sempron™ processors. It also is the second HP business desktop series to feature AMD Cool ‘n’ Quiet™ technology to help reduce processor heat for an overall cooler PC and a quieter work environment.
