HP
Z1 Workstation
The HP Z1 is in a new category: the all-in-one
professional workstation. It's powerful, easy to service, and has a beautiful
27-inch screen. It has ISV certifications, if your business needs to consider
that for pitching projects. Even if certification isn't a consideration, the
speed, accurate screen, and professional grade components will pique the
scientist in you. If you know you need a workstation and are space constrained,
the Z1 should be on your short list.
Design and Features
The Z1 essentially looks like a large all-in-one desktop PC, which is to say it also looks just like a large-screen professional monitor. It's centered on a huge 27-inch LED-backlit IPS display with a 2,560 by 1,440 resolution. For comparison, the only other all in one desktop to match this resolution and size is the Apple iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt) ($1,999 list, 4 stars), which is aimed at some of the same audience (the graphics arts folk). The system is hooked up to a dual-hinged articulated arm, so it is easily adjusted for height and tilt. It can be tilted from horizontal (parallel to your work surface)
