Based on research I had done last year and data I pulled from HP’s site, they seemed to be way ahead of their competitors when it came to reducing power consumption on their hardware (especially servers).

HP also appeared to be a leader in product reuse and/or recycling. I know HP has frequently taken knocks over excessive product packaging, but I wonder if Dell won on performance or just perception.

I am all about design, but these companies should at least make sure the packaging is green (recycled, etc.) and not just made to look green. I don’t want to see IT companies going the way of CPG companies and putting unhealthy products in packaging that has the perception of being green.
