Sustainable IT: Reducing Your Technology Carbon Footprint

AI-generated summary
The HP EliteBook 660 G11 with a Core Ultra 5 is the “grown-up” option if you want a business laptop that’s going to feel solid day-to-day: good build, sensible docking/port expectations, and HP’s usual manageability for IT teams. At £1,079.54 ex-VAT, you’re paying for reliability, warranty/parts support pathways, and a platform that won’t annoy you in a couple of years. The 16" class is also a comfortable sweet spot for office work and light multitasking—spreadsheets, browser tabs, Teams, document work—without feeling like a compromise.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it purely for “best performance per pound.” If your users are doing mostly basic office work and you can tolerate a bit less polish, there are usually cheaper business-laptops that land closer to the value sweet spot. Also, if you don’t have a real need for the Pro/AI PC angle (management, security features, or specific AI workloads), that premium can feel unnecessary. Who it’s for: SMEs and departments standardising on HP for fleet management, or any role where downtime is expensive and you want a dependable daily driver. Who should skip: cost-sensitive buyers with mostly lightweight tasks, or anyone who just wants the cheapest Windows machine to run common apps.
