In HP to reduce PC energy consumption by a quarter

The manufacturers making their laptops component upgradeable, that way you don't have to splash for a full laptop every time you want a processor upgrade or if you damage the screen.

This way you don't throw all of the manufacturing energy away each time something needs to change.
