[PConline stand-alone evaluation] Now when it comes to desktops or workstations, what is your first impression? Is it "stupid and clumsy"? Is it not easy to place it once it is placed? This may be the normal status of the current workstation, but until its arrival, Xiao Bian felt that this situation had been improved. It was so small and moving, and it was so sci-fi. It was so neat and so simple. Now everyone must be curious. What kind of product can make Xiao Bian so exciting? The answer is, it is the HP Z2 Mini workstation. Do not underestimate it. The Z2 Mini is 90% smaller than a normal workstation. It is really terrible to think about it.

Workstations need strong performance support. This is all very clear to everyone, but for the HP Z2 Mini, can a compact body fit into the workstation's hardware requirements? Let's take a look. It is equipped with an Intel i7 6700 processor, 8GB of running memory, and 512GB SSD. From these points of view, it is not easy to put down a small chassis, and it is from stability and ruggedness. It is also very good, but the most attractive to everyone is its size, then Xiaobian will have a good look at this little guy, there is no greater surprise.
As Xiao Bian said earlier, many and many desktop computers, especially workstations, are really big guys. It's really inconvenient to move. This is where many people are bothered, so if there is a compact workstation This problem will be easily solved, so the arrival of HP Z2 Mini can be described as just right, to solve the problem of workstation mobility for many people, and not only compact, beautiful degree also put on, and now does not occupy an area on the desk does not It can also be a decoration.
Although there are many MiniPCs appearing in the market today, most of them are sloppy and rotten. The low level of configuration and poor overall quality have led to a very general performance of these products in the market. In fact, one can imagine that. Low-profile computers are simply a disaster for office or entertainment. The frustration felt when Xiao Bian tested or used these machines was self-evident, even when he doubted that he had returned to school at school to study computers. And that kind of cheap texture is really not flattering, there is a kind of toy on their own to buy a stall. This is why Xiaobian said that the emergence of the HP Z2 Mini is very timely.
From the HP Z2 Mini, we can see what kind of products a top-tier company can give us if it is full of sincerity. Below are some data support, we can first look at the internal ratio of the HP Z2 Mini's chassis. HP's traditional business-grade tower chassis is 90% smaller. At the same time, the performance of the Z2 Mini is twice that of any other Mini PC on the market. What can we ask for such a compact workstation? Not only that, it is also the same as the weight, it is only 1.844kg measured in small series, compared to ordinary workstations is also much lighter.
As a workstation, some professional tests may not be avoided, and Xiao Bian also found some relatively specialized software to conduct some tests on the HP Z2 Mini experience. Next, let's take a look at the results. .
Xiao Bian first downloaded CAD. First of all, CAD is a visual drawing software. Many commands and operations can be achieved through menu options and tool buttons. And has a wealth of drawing and drawing auxiliary functions, such as entity drawing, key point editing, object capture, annotation, bird's-eye view display control, etc., its toolbar, menu design, dialog box, graphics open preview, information exchange, text editing, image Processing and graphics output previews bring great convenience to the user's drawing. Secondly, it is not only more mature in 2D graphics processing, but also more complete in 3D functions and can be easily modeled and rendered.
Xiao Bian has used CAD to open some simple drawings, as well as simple 3D modeling. There is no need to wait for a long time. It can be said that the speed is very fast. This should be due to i7 processing. And the 512GB SSD, in general, faced with such professional software, although Xiao Bian's use of their standards is limited, but the HP Z2 Mini is still able to cope with it.
For the Photoshop we are more familiar with, the HP Z2 Mini is even more fluent, and it can easily be faced with various changes in multiple images. So with such a device, whether it is the daily work of professionals or ordinary people, I believe it is very appropriate.
After getting this small workstation at first, Xiao Bian thought that this was a gimmick bigger than the actual product, but after touching this HP Z2 Mini, that kind of thick feeling let Xiao Bian rethink it. The dark body makes it look a bit tough, similar to the design of the spacecraft makes it look a little bit of science fiction, and the polygonal design can also show their own fashion sense. It feels like it has a natural sense of isolation from an ordinary workstation or PC. Maybe this is HP's pride.
On the plus side, the HP Z2 Mini uses a relatively smooth plastic material and feels very good. It also matches the middle Z-shaped logo. And it feels very stable overall. The octagonal design feels very stylish and the corners do not feel unexpected.
The side of the design is equally amazing, irregular rectangles around the entire fuselage, the middle hollow design is very simple, hollow interior lines are good, so people think this machine is very young, and this design is not just It is for the sake of beauty. The inside is still a hidden air outlet. It is not easy to discover the interior without opening the chassis.
In the design of the interface, HP Z2 Mini is no exception, there are up to three DP interface on the back, there is a USB 3.0 and a network cable interface, the switch on the top cover is also located on the back. On the left, it also designed two USB 3.0 ports and a common 3.5mm headphone jack. The power button is located in front of you and is very eye-catching.
Open the HP Z2 Mini chassis cover, you can see the inside of the Dangdang Dangdang, but give people an orderly feeling, this may be the results after careful consideration by HP R & D engineers, after all, put a lot in such a small chassis inside Parts are not a very easy thing to do, but also know that the configuration inside is really not low, we can see from the inside of the fan care about the heat.
Now let's take another look at its configuration. Xiaobian got this machine equipped with an Intel i7 6700 quad-core processor, 8GB of running memory and 512GB SSD, and an internal HD 530 graphics card for a dedicated professional. For workstations, this configuration has reached the mainstream level, and we can also see its capabilities through the above small series of tests, that is, if you are not doing complex video, graphics, etc., the remaining HP Z2 Mini is completely Can be competent.

As a workstation, Xiao Bian could not but admire that HP actually made it so compact, and HP Z2 Mini is not only blindly compact, its stylish, simple appearance also left a deep impression. Having said so many external factors is not its inherent flaw, the desktop-level i7 processor allows the whole machine to perform as fast as flying, and not only that, it can also drive 6 external displays at the same time, compared to those large The decent guys, the HP Z2 Mini is completely unfearing. Another point I must mention is that for professional designers, it is the smallest model that can meet CAD software. How is it surprising? It can also be loaded into a professional-grade Nvidia graphics card. Did you hear it startle? Its potential is really huge.
