The HP All-in-One200 is ENERGY STAR® qualified and meets the standards for Silver registration in the Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT®). It features a mercury-free, white light-emitting diodes (WLED) display that uses less energy than previous-generation displays. The display’s solid-state components also are more resistant to damage caused by external shock.

Enterprise-class performance with energy savings
The HP Compaq 6005 Pro Ultra Slim desktop (USDT) is an enterprise-grade performance PC designed with the environment in mind. Measuring just 10 inches high and 2.6 inches wide, the approximate size of a ream of paper, the 6005 Pro USDT can be easily connected to the back of a display by using the optional HP Integrated Work Center, promoting a clutter-free workspace.

The sixth generation of HP business desktop PCs to feature AMD® processors, this slim and sleek PC features VISION Pro(8) technology from AMD, delivering highperformance computing. Additionally it features tailored security software – including HP ProtectTools – and impressive energy-efficiency for enterprise business users on a budget. The HP Compaq 6005 Pro USDT is designed for corporate enterprise, midmarket, government, healthcare and education customers that want a dependable, high-performance PC with energy-efficient features, enhanced graphic capabilities, flexibility and expandability, including:

The new integrated side port memory enhances energy savings by putting the CPU into deep sleep at idle.
