HP Goes Green With Messenger Bag
no comments
Walmart had a contest to see which company would reduce the most enviromental impact. Walmart’s goal was to make products green-er. HP won and their solution was to cut the boxes and excess materials, and just give the laptop (Pavilion dv6929wm) in a bag. HP’s laptop is going to be sold exclusively in Walmart and Sam’s Club Stores. There is no word on specifications yet but the laptop will sell for $798. Not a bad idea, might just cut down a lot of cardboard use in their factories.
