Power That Fits Anywhere
Tackle intense workflows on such a sleek, tiny PC that combines a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900 16-Core processor with 32GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM for smooth multitasking while the 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD loads files quickly to handle tasks such as rendering and simulation.
Create your ideal workspace, whether you're working in an office or your home. The versatile, contemporary design, allows you to place the compact system on your desk, mounted behind your monitor, attached under your desk, and more.
NVIDIA T1000 Graphics
Built using the powerful Turing architecture, the dedicated NVIDIA Quadro T1000 low-profile graphics card delivers the performance to support professional workflows that range from video editing to 3D modeling. It features 8GB of GDDR6 RAM and supports multiple 7680 x 4320 displays at 60 Hz through its four mini DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.
Engineered to Evolve
Featuring a 280W power supply, the Z2 Mini G9 is ready to grow alongside your workflow. A slide-out design provides tool-free interior access to standard-sized components so you can easily swap graphics and memory.
You can install up to 64GB of 5600 MHz DDR5 memory by using 32GB modules in each of the two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots. For internal storage, there are two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD slots that support a combined total of 8TB. Configure RAID capabilities for added performance or reliability.
High-Speed Connectivity
Two 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C ports with 5V / 3A of charging power are available, allowing you to quickly transfer large video files and RAW photos with compatible storage drives. There are also four 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one of which supports 5V / 2.1A charging.
You may also use Bluetooth 5.2 to pair wireless accessories such as keyboards and headsets to save the USB ports for wired accessories. This system includes a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and a power cord.
Fast Networking
Connect to your network using the Gigabit Ethernet port, or take advantage of integrated Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) to connect wirelessly.
Keep Cool Under Any Workload
- Phase Change CPU Cooling - A liquid to gas and back to liquid cycle optimizes heat transfer, delivering higher performance and reliability compared to traditional liquid cooling solutions.
- Fans & Venting - The 3D mesh air intake design reduces static air pressure to enhance airflow. At the same time, built-in sensors and algorithms detect when the system is heating up during intensive workloads and automatically activates fans to prevent overheating.
- Power Distribution - BIOS-level technologies detect the system's power requirements in real-time to optimally distribute it for maximum GPU and CPU performance.
Sustainable Design
HP Z2 systems are built using ocean-bound plastics, recycled metals, and highly efficient EPEAT Gold certified power supplies. Their packaging is also 100% sustainably sourced to help reduce the amount of hazardous materials in the environment.
Windows 11 Pro
Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps.
