Woah… they’ve done it again! Yes indeed, today @HP unveiled the new HP Spectre, the world’s thinnest laptop. Sleek, long battery life, tough, sexy, powerful, artisan gold and more!
Today at a special event in New York, HP (yes, part of the new HP Inc.) introduced the next generation of the popular Z family of mobile workstations, including the new, ZBook Studio which turned my head! From HP… “The ZBook Studio represents the expertise developed over the past 30 years of HP workstation engineering excellence, HP Z DNA, and the extensive testing that went into the development of the system.”
“As the world’s first quad core workstation Ultrabook, the ZBook Studio is a perfect combination of brains and beauty with the engineering toughness of a HP Z Workstation,”said Jim Zafarana (above, left), vice president and general manager, HP Workstations and Thin Clients [Read more…] about HP Unveils New Line of Powerful, Mobile Z Workstations #Zbooks
Recall that yours truly has been using the amazing HP All-in-one workstation for a couple of months and enjoying it to maintain all of our websites and perform my daily tasks as well as GIS/mapping duties – see the detailed review HERE. Well, today at CES in Las Vegas, HP has unveiled the First 27-inch Diagonal All-in-one Workstation with Touch Capability. The news… HP today announced the second generation of the world’s first and only all-in-one workstation with a 27-inch diagonal display, the HP Z1, which is now available with Windows® 8 Touch and Intel® Thunderbolt 2capabilities—making it HP’s most powerful, innovative and fully featured all-in-one workstation.
The HP Z1 enables designers to streamline the workflow with key features such as:
· The power of Thunderbolt. Connect in a flash with up to four times USB 3.0 bandwidth using optional high-performance Thunderbolt 2.0 ports located on the side of the HP Z1G2.
· Professional display. Let ideas shine on the HP Z1 G2’s brilliant next-generation, 27-inch diagonal IPS display. Choose from 10-point touch with stunning edge-to-edge glass or non-touch with antiglare capability.
· Tool-less chassis. Change most parts or make upgrades without tools or a service technician. Simply snap open the chassis and customize as needed.
· Bold and bright. A wide range of 3-D professional graphics options, including NVIDIA Mobile Quadro GPUs, gives users the power they need to bring their creations to life.
· Astounding sound. Premium audio features on the HP Z1 G2 Workstation include dual-tone, front-facing speakers and DTS Studio Sound Audio.

You may have heard me discussing the HP Z1 workstation recently. That’s because I’ve had the pleasure of using one for several weeks now, thanks to the kind folks at HP. The Z1, the first of it’s kind, all-in-one workstation from HP is a gorgeous machine, conveniently packaged in one solid bundle, and offers the power and flexibility demanded by any technology professional. Now don’t get me wrong, anyone could use and love the Z1, however, at a starting price in the low $2,000 range, the device can be heavily customized to cost well over $5,000 and as a result is ideally targeted at the power user or as an enterprise solution. Note, a number of other lower end “all in one” solutions may be found from the likes of Samsung, Toshiba, Lenovo, and others, however, the devices from those makers would be classified in a category that is far inferior to the enterprise class HP Z1. Of interest, the Z1 line of workstations are considered an “entry” level to the HP Commercial workstation family and a “step down” from the traditional tower workstations.
