This report focuses on manufacturing and environmental concerns and does little to address where the raw materials for the components are sourced from. Metals such as cobalt, coltan, and tin in these computers could have still come from a warzone, mined on the back of slaves. None of the computer companies has yet to make a fully responsible product line. HP is ahead of the game-- but they have a long way to go to be responsible.
