- Buy repairable and upgradeable products. Laptops are harder to repair or upgrade than desktop PCs. Look for a user-replaceable battery as an absolute minimum, and ideally replaceable storage drive and RAM as well.

- Choose durable products:

• Buy a thin product = less material so less environmental impact
• Prefer aluminum shell, more resistant than plastic and not needing a fan
• Prefer TCO-Certified products. This label ensures that the model has reduced environmental and social impact throughout its lifecycle, from manufacture to disposal.
• Choose high performance products in order to extend their lifetime as long as possible
• Choose a small screen: screen production has the most important environmental impact. It also uses less power when in use. MacBook 13" footprint has a 217 kg CO2 footprint whereas MacBook 16" has a 394 kg CO2 ones (Apple data).

- Buy refurbished products: because of the significant carbon footprint of making a computer, its lifetime should ideally be extended for as long as possible. If you can’t repair an old machine, you can extend the lifetime of another by buying a second-hand or refurbished computer.

You can create some quick wins to curb your digital footprint by providing employees with laptops instead of desktops, it consumes less electricity. Allow them to use it also for their personal use, it will decrease the "over-equipment" (doubling pro & personal devices) ratio, thus consuming less raw material and energy for over-production.
