Odd’s are you have no idea what the Pavilion dv6929 is. It’s an EPEAT silver-rated laptop that sells for under $800 but whats the big deal? Well it won Wal-Mart’s Home Entertainment Design Challenge. Wal-Mart set the challenge and HP stepped up to the plate to reduce packaging by 97% for an item now needing a quarter fewer trucks to deliver. the laptop and everything it comes with comes inside a laptop bag made from 100% recycled materials. To add to that, HP says that anybody purchasing one can give Wal-Mart their old computer for proper recycling for free. This is great news for everybody involved. Keep it up.
