HP expanded its industry-leading Z Workstation family with the highly affordable HP Z210 Workstations. It also added to its powerful lineup of mobile workstations with the HP Elitebook 8760w and 8560w. The new models demonstrate HP’s continued investment in the desktop and mobile workstations market, where it holds leading market share, as reported by IDC.

The HP Z210 models, which are available in convertible mini-tower (CMT) or highly compact small form factor (SFF) options for space-constrained environments are ideal for customers using computer aided design, digital media, medical and power office applications.

The new mobile workstation models are ideal for engineering, power-computing and content-creation customers who need the performance of a workstation with the portability and convenience of a notebook.

The HP EliteBook 8760w offers a 43.9cm (17.3-inch) diagonal, high-definition (HD) screen, a choice of high-performing AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics and up to 4 gigabytes (GB) of video memory.

The HP EliteBook 8560w features a 39.6cm (15.6-inch) diagonal HD display and supports AMD FirePro graphics for 1 GB of video memory or NVIDIA Quadro graphics for 2 GB of video memory.

“An increasing number of customers in fast-growing market segments are turning to HP Workstations to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of their businesses,” said Kobi Elbaz, Director, Client Solutions and Workstations Business Unit Manager, HP Personal Systems Group , EMEA.

“The new HP Z210 Workstations meet these demands and demonstrate HP’s leadership in the market with an affordable yet reliable package. Meanwhile, the new HP EliteBook mobile workstations combine innovative design with trusted, workstation-class technology to help our most demanding design, animation and engineering customers fuel creativity.”

The HP Z210 models offer a range of professional graphics options, including 2-D choices from AMD and NVIDIA that incorporate dual graphics card capabilities that support up to four 2-D displays. 3-D choices include next-generation processor-integrated Intel HD graphics that lower the entry cost for professional 3-D graphics, and entry and midrange graphics from NVIDIA and AMD.
