The Spectre x360: Delivering performance and sustainability

Launched in 2015 and recognized for its innovative design, the Spectre x360 is a note- book and tablet in one. In addition to sleek appearance, remarkable functionality, and a battery life that is upwards of 10.5 hours, the Spectre x360 is one of the few EPEAT Gold 20 registered consumer notebook products on the market and does not use harmful halogenated flame retardants. 21 It is also ENERGY STAR qualified, and eliminated the use of cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium, and mercury, as well as the use of PVC from large plastic parts. 22 Finally, its modular design facilitates easier repairs and upgrades, and promotes extended product life. Sustainable design and certification Through thoughtful materials selection and product design, we reduce the impacts of our personal systems products across their life cycle. To meet customer expectations and improve environmental performance, we increas- ingly use PCR content plastic in our products. In 2015, 48% 23 of new commercial desk- top products contained greater than 10% PCR plastic content, compared to 33% in 2014 and 22% in 2013. (See Materials for related information.) Our personal systems portfolio includes more products independently certified to ENERGY STAR and EPEAT than any other major manufacturer. In 2015, with the certification of 16 of our business display models, more of our products achieved the TCO Certified Edge stan- dard than any other manufacturer. TCO Certified, the most comprehensive third-party certification for IT products, uses criteria based on scientific principles, and involves multiple stakeholders and experts in an open development process. Product reliability is another important aspect of sustainable design. All HP Elite note- books, tablets, and desktop PCs undergo multiple tests using the MIL-STD-810G stan- dard to ensure that those products meet customers’ product reliability expectations.

How service models benefit customers and the environment

Through HP Subscription Services , our business customers have access to our latest and most energy-efficient products without the up-front costs of purchase. Every two to three years, HP customers can upgrade to the newest hardware and software, supported by a service relationship that keeps products running smoothly. With HP TouchPoint Manager™ our resource-constrained business customers can keep their PC fleets running at peak performance, staying ahead of software and hardware issues that might inadvertently trigger replacement without an IT management toolset. When customers return products, we either refurbish and place them back in service, or provide responsible disposal. This approach enhances customer productivity while maximizing the value we get from the materials used in our products. HP Subscription Services illustrates how HP is diversifying its business in ways that shift toward a resource-efficient, service-based model that supports the circular economy .
