Holiday Banner for Laptops

Now more than ever, families are using multiple computers throughout the day for work and school. If it’s finally time to upgrade the family computer or get a loved one his or her own laptop, ENERGY STAR certified computers are engineered with energy-efficient power supplies that help you save energy. Whether it’s a late night of studying, catching up on a work project, or enjoying those epic movie marathons, you know your gift is doing a world of good for the environment! When choosing, choose the blue label!

  • Take care.  Depending on how it’s used, an ENERGY STAR computer uses about 40% less energy than standard desktop computers without sacrificing quality or performance.
  • Put it to sleep. Save more by enabling the power management features in your ENERGY STAR certified computer.  And remember, many popular computer games left running in the background while multitasking, will not allow the computer to go to sleep - even if the game is paused.
  • Choose blue to go green. If all computers sold in the U.S. were ENERGY STAR certified, we would prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from nearly 350,000 vehicles.
