HP G9 Mini Overview

By B&H Photo's

Get incredibly high performance packed into an insanely petite form factor with the Z2 G9 Mini Workstation from HP, which easily fits on your desk or behind your monitor so you can tackle 3D projects without losing valuable office space. It's powered by a 14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700 20-Core processor and 32GB of 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM, which can be upgraded to 64GB by using 32GB in each of the 262-pin SO-DIMM slots.

For storage of your files, the 1TB 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. If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z2 G9 Mini features two 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports with 5V/3A of charging power, plus four 10 Gb/s USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one of which supports 5V/2.1A charging. The dedicated NVIDIA T400 graphics card has 4GB of GDDR6 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its three mini DisplayPort 1.4 outputs at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 at 120 Hz or 5120 x 2880 at 60 Hz.

Connect to your network using the Gigabit Ethernet port, or take advantage of integrated Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) to connect wirelessly. You may also use Bluetooth 5.4 to pair wireless accessories, including keyboards, mics, and headsets and save the USB ports for wired accessories.

The Z2 G9 Mini Workstation includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. It runs using a 280W power supply and the installed operating system is Windows 11 Pro (64-bit).
