The new HP Z1 G2 All-In-One Workstation

HP Z1G2 anti-glare with Thunderbolt, Left ViewIn 2012, HP delivered the Z1 workstation.

It was a complete game-changer in workstations!

Developed and released as the industry’s first workstation with true workstation-class parts, from Xeon CPUs, workstation memory and graphics, RAID storage and more, the Z1 completely re-wrote what users should expect from all-in-one workstations.

Indeed, before the advent of the HP Z1 workstation, all entrants – yes, ALL ENTRANTS, and I can say this without fear of contradiction – in the AIO workstation field, were without a doubt unashamed, warmed-over consumer devices, with the associated weak, mostly Intel graphics, and other components.

As great as the Z1 (now referred to as Z1 G1) is/was, HP didn’t stand still, and yesterday, they introduced the next rev of the device, the HP Z1 G2 workstation.

In a briefing early last December, we were introduced to the Z1 G2.

What HP has done, is basically reengineer the device based on feedback from users.

The result is a new iteration of the device with improved processors, components, the addition of Thunderbolt® technology, touch functionality, and more.

Jim Christensen is Director for Media Relations at HP, and he posted a blog on HP.com yesterday about the HP Z1 G2.
