Workstations with discrete professional graphics cards are a staple of many, many businesses across the UK. The usual combination consists of a monitor and a base unit with a number of organisations also considering mobile workstations.
Both of these form factors have their pros and cons: traditional base units are great but rolling them out can take time and space. Mobile workstations lack the firepower and expandability associated with their bigger brothers.
All-in-one workstations try to fill a niche that neither of these options have yet fully addressed, and it does seem that only one Tier-1 manufacturer has identified this as being a market worth tackling (neither Dell nor Lenovo have an AIO workstation in their portfolios). This new Z1 workstation is the third-generation offering from HP in this category.
The HP Z1 G3 tries to hit four seemingly disparate targets according to its marketing leaflet: “A space-optimised, uncompromised and fully featured design, at a budget conscious price point”.
Compared to its previous iteration (which we reviewed here), the G3 reverts to a simpler stand design; one that slides the AIO’s base unit up and down rather than allowing extravagant tilting.
