HP unveiled its 14-inch Eco Edition laptop at CES 2023 complete with powerful components and a sustainable materials list. The laptop is heavily configurable with processor options that range from an i3-1315U up to an i7-1360P. The laptop's memory is available in anywhere from 4GB DDR4-3200Mhz up to 16GB DDR4-3200Mhz configurations, and the available storage options include a 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB PCIe M.2 SSD.
The main draw of this laptop over the wealth of other laptops HP unveiled at CES, though, is the material list. The Eco Edition is manufactured out of recycled metal, post-consumer recycled plastic, ocean-bound plastics, bio-circular content, water-based paint, and 100% recyclable packaging. Additionally, this laptop boasts ENERGY STAR and EPEAT Gold certifications.
The price for the upcoming Eco Edition laptop will fluctuate heavily based on the selected configurations.
