Made by and for design professionals, such as CAD users, the Z2 Mini G3 Desktop Workstation from HP delivers power, performance, versatility, and reliability in a small and elegant design. At 2.28" high, it is 90% smaller than a traditional business-class tower. The Z2 Mini has been tested for 368,000 hours and is certified for popular CAD software titles.
The system is powered by a 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5-6500 Quad-Core processor that will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and be boosted up to 3.6 GHz. The 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently used files and programs. While the current memory configuration is 1 x 8GB, there are two 260-pin SO-DIMM memory slots that will allow the RAM to be upgraded to 32GB, using a 16GB chip in each of the two slots.
For storage of your files, a 256GB Z Turbo Drive G2 PCIe SSD offers quick access to your data, and there is also an empty 2.5" / 9.5mm SATA drive bay for a hard drive or SSD. If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z2 Mini features four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one of which doubles as a charging port. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 chipset delivers a sharp, clear picture and features three DisplayPort 1.2 outputs which support a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD ALC221-VB audio controller outputs high definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.
The Z2 Mini G3 Desktop Workstation can either be placed on a flat surface, mounted behind a display, or under a desk. It includes an HP USB Business Slim Keyboard, an HP USB Optical Mouse, and a power cord. It runs using a 135W external power supply that is 88% efficient and operates using 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).
