HP's thinnest and lightest full-performance workstation is the ZBook Studio

HP Inc. has introduced the HP ZBook Studio, the world’s first quad-core workstation Ultrabook¹. The 15.6” diagonal HP ZBook Studio, a machine for professionals on-the-go, is HP’s thinnest and lightest full performance model ever.

“As the world’s first quad-core workstation Ultrabook, the ZBook Studio is a perfect combination of brains and beauty with the engineering toughness of a HP Z Workstation,” said Lionel Chng, Managing Director, HP Inc. Singapore. “The ZBook Studio endures 120,000 hours of testing and features numerous first-time workstation advancements – Intel XEON CPU’s with ECC memory, Thunderbolt 3, Gen 2 Z Turbo Drives, HP Sure Start client security, and an eight million colour-critical pixel DreamColor 4K display.”

Starting at 2kg² and 18mm thin, the HP ZBook Studio can be configured to fit business and road warrior needs with professional choices of memory, processor, graphics and more. The model features Intel Core or Xeon processors³, dual 1 TB⁴ HP Z Turbo Drive G2^{5, 6} for up to 2 TB of total storage, up to 32 GB ECC memory⁴, dual Thunderbolt 3, dual cooling fans and optional HP DreamColor UHD or FHD touch displays^{5, 6}. The ZBook Studio is built to handle heavy graphics loads, with the special edition NVIDIA Quadro M1000M featuring 4 GB dedicated GDDR5 graphics memory.

HP also introduced three additional HP ZBook Mobile Workstation models. Thinner and lighter than their predecessors, the third generation products boast performance, innovation and reliability enhancements:

 HP ZBook 15u delivers workstation performance in a compact package. With its 15.6” diagonal display, this workstation Ultrabook⁸ can be configured with up to 32 GB memory, AMD FirePro professional graphics with 2GB frame buffer, HP Z Turbo Drive G2, 1.5 TB of total storage, and a FHD touch display.

 HP ZBook 15 – the next generation of the world’s top-selling mobile workstation⁹. This thin and light, portable powerhouse was redesigned, inside and out and is 27% thinner and 7% lighter than the previous generation. Boasting a 27%¹⁰ increase in battery life over previous generations, the HP ZBook 15 with a 15.6" diagonal display is equipped with an Intel Core or Xeon processor, 64 GB ECC memory, dual 1 TB HP Z Turbo Drive G2 for up to 3 TB of total storage, dual Thunderbolt 3, and optional HP DreamColor UHD or FHD touch displays.
 HP ZBook 17 - with a 67%¹⁰ increase in battery life, the 17.3” diagonal workstation is now also 25% thinner and 11% lighter than its predecessor. It is configured with an Intel Core or Xeon processor, up to 64 GB ECC memory, dual 1 TB HP Z Turbo Drive G2 for up to 4 TB of total storage, dual Thunderbolt 3, and optional HP DreamColor UHD or FHD touch displays. The ZBook 17 also features NVIDIA graphics support up to M5000M Quardro with an 8GB frame buffer.

The HP ZBook Studio, ZBook 15 and 17 all feature the new NVIDIA Quadro Professional graphics, providing nearly two times the performance of previous generation graphics. These systems also offer a choice of Intel Iris Pro Graphics P580, Intel HD graphics P530 or Intel HD graphics 530.

All HP ZBook Mobile Workstations are designed to pass MIL-STD 810G testing¹¹. HP ZBooks also come preloaded with HP Remote Graphics Software for remote collaboration, HP Performance Advisor for optimal performance and HP Velocity for more reliable and fast network performance.

Offered with HP ZBook Workstations is the new HP ZBook Dock with Thunderbolt 3. Users can link up to 10 devices at once through ports that include Thunderbolt 3 (supporting DisplayPort 1.2, USB 3.1 Gen 2, and PCIe), four USB 3.0, RJ-45, VGA, combo audio, and two additional DisplayPorts.

“HP ZBook products have significant reliability advantages and are designed to pass military standards testing and endure 120,000 hours in HP's test process,” said Ron Rogers, Vice President, Head of Engineering Workstations and Thin clients, HP Inc. “HP practices physics of failure techniques thinking to predict reliability and improve product performance. This engineering approach has provided end-users our most reliable workstations available.”
