HP has announced its Z220 workstations. It features next-generation Intel Core and Intel Xeon processors, the latest integrated and discrete professional graphics from Intel, NVIDIA and AMD and four integrated USB 3.0 high-speed ports. The Z220 entry-level workstation is available in a choice of an exceptionally expandable, Convertible Mini-Tower (CMT) form factor. It is also available in a highly compact Small Form Factor (SFF), which is 65 percent smaller than the CMT.
The HP EliteBook w-series is a combination of high-performance features and graphics in a business-rugged design, featuring next-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core or i7 or i5 dual-core processors and up to 32 GB of system memory.
Both desktop and mobile workstations offer a breadth of independent software vendor (ISV) certifications for professionals across a range of industries, from product development to media and entertainment.
