Whether you're a STEAM educator, architect, engineer, or product designer, the Z2 G8 Small Form Factor Workstation from HP has been redesigned to pack more graphics and processing into a more compact space. It will let you take on 2D and 3D CAD projects, work in multiple pro apps simultaneously, and is certified for single- and multi-threaded software, including SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, eDrawings, Bentley MicroStation, Graphisoft Archicad, Vectorworks, CATIA, Creo, Siemens Solid Edge, and more. With a wide array of configurations and upgrades to choose from, this system is a good fit for custom solutions.
The Z2 G8 SFF is powered by an 11th Gen 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7-11700 Eight-Core processor that will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and can be boosted up to 4.9 GHz. The 16GB of 3200 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 16GB, there are four 288-pin DIMM memory slots that will allow the RAM to be upgraded to 128GB, using a 32GB module in each of the slots.
For storage of your files, the 512GB Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD has an M.2 2280 form factor, uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 bus, and offers quick access to your data. For additional internal storage, there is an extra M.2 2280 slot for an NVMe PCIe SSD, plus one 2.5" and two 3.5" drive bays. If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z2 G8 SFF features one 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port with 5V/3A of charging power, four 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, three 5 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one of which supports 5V/2.1A charging, and three 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Type-A ports. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 750 chipset delivers a sharp, clear picture and features two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.
Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek ALC3205 audio codec outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Connect to your network using the Gigabit Ethernet port, or install an adapter into the M.2 2230 slot for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For those working with optical media, there is an external bay for a 9.5mm Slim DVD Writer.
The Z2 G8 Small Form Factor Workstation includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. It runs using a 450W power supply and the installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).
