HP ZBook Studio is world’s first workstation class Ultrabook

HP ZBook Studio is officially the world’s first quad core workstation class Ultrabook. Confusing? An Ultrabook is usually made lightweight and thin and lot of sacrifice is done to computing power. The ZBook Studio on the other hand is Ultrabook in size but has workstation class computing power under the hood. HP ZBook Studio has a 15.6” display and is powered by Intel® Core™ or Xeon® processors and users can add NVIDIA® Quadro® M1000M 2 GB GDDR5 Professional graphics. The HP ZBook Studio is planned for availability in December starting at $1699.

““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 Jim Zafarana, vice president and general manager, HP Workstations and Thin Clients, HP Inc. “The ZBook Studio endures 120,000 hours of testing and features numerous first-time workstation advancements, including Intel XEON CPUs with ECC memory, Thunderbolt 3, Gen 2 Z Turbo Drives, HP Sure Start client security, and an eight million color-critical pixel DreamColor 4k display.”

“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 and head of engineering, Workstations and Thin Clients, HP Inc. “HP practices physics of failure techniques to predict reliability and improve product performance. This engineering approach has provided end-users our most reliable workstations available.”

The new ZBook Studio weighs only 4.4 pounds and is 18mm thin. Users can configure up to dual-1TB HP Z Turbo Drive G2, up to 32GB of ECC memory. Dual Thuderbolt 3 ports will allow users to connect high speed peripherals to the notebook. Users can combine this with HP ZBook Studio Dock to add another 10 ports (Thunderbolt™ 3, four USB 3.0, RJ-45, VGA, combo audio, and two additional DisplayPorts). Such is the power of the ZBook Studio that you can connect two external 4K displays and enjoy the ultimate multi display setup at work.
