World’s first 27” all-in-one Workstation has power without the tower.

HP’s new Z1, just announced globally on February 14th, will make its first Hollywood appearance at the Entertainment Technology Expo!

The HP Z1 combines a sleek industrial design with accelerated performance featuring Intel® Xeon® processors, NVIDIA Quadro graphics, support for more than 1 billion colors and HP’s world-class reliability.

The display of the new HP Z1 Workstation snaps open so users can easily swap out parts and make upgrades. Its tool-less chassis lets users easily add a hard drive, upgrade memory or access the graphics card.

Built for computer-aided design, digital media, and entertainment professionals, the HP Z1 provides blazingly fast rendering and performance. It offers a full range of workstation-class graphics cards and processors, and is thoroughly tested and certified to work with today’s leading industry applications.

Whether it’s an engineer creating 3-D components, an architect designing buildings or a videographer editing event footage, the HP Z1 gives creative professionals the power they need to bring ideas to life faster:

• The HP Z1 features professional NVIDIA Quadro graphics, ECC memory, quad-core Intel Xeon processors, independent software vendor solutions and whisper-quiet acoustics.

• Users can choose from a variety of storage types, including 7.2K and 10K SATA, SSD, optional RAID configurations, removable drives (AMO), a multiformat media card reader and optical drives including a slot-load Blu-ray Writer.

• The 27-inch white LED display supports more than 1 billion colors and features a wide, 178-degree viewing angle and an in-plane switching (IPS) panel.

• Front-facing dual-cone speakers and SRS Premium Sound offer high-fidelity audio.

• The Z1’s HD Webcam captures HD-quality video with details right down to the twinkle of an eye.

• The Remote Graphics Software lets users work remotely while still accessing the high-performance 2-D, 3-D, video and media-rich applications they count on.

• The HP Performance Advisor reduces the time spent troubleshooting by providing a consolidated report of the workstation’s hardware and software configuration that can be used to tune the workstation for specifically professional application workloads with just one click.

The new HP Z1 Workstation is expected to be available worldwide in April, with pricing starting at $1899.00 in the United States. Terry Brown, from HP, Sandy Nasseri, Melrose Mac Principle, and special guest partners will unveil the ZI at an HP & Intel Intensive Presentation on March 1, 2012 from 2pm to 4pm at Createasphere’s Entertainment Technology Expo.
