Modular PC Design: A Sustainable Approach for Enhanced Repairability and Reduced E-Waste   Gurpreet Sandhu - Vice President, Platform Engineering Group Reshma PP - Director System Design, Platform Engineering Group Roberta Zouain - Sustainability Product Strategy & Marketing Manager, Client Segments...

Reduce the environmental impact by minimizing carbon footprint Create scalable systems that can evolve with changing user requirements & interests Supports the r ight-to-repair with field-replaceable components Make seamless system upgrades possible, avoiding complete device turnover Enable cost-optimized products by streamlining manufacturing design processes (module reuse) Easier product SKU management and faster time to market In addition to easier repairs, this approach can also result in fewer total SKUs that need to be designed, validated, and inventoried, helping manufacturers streamline product portfolio management. By developing a new approach to system design that allows for easy upgrades and component replacements, we aim to significantly extend the usable life of computing devices, thereby reducing electronic waste and promoting a more sustainable consumption model.
