Designed for Computer Aided Design (CAD) users and other compute-intensive industries, Z2 Mini is only 2.3-inches high, i.e. 90 percent smaller than a traditional business-class tower PC.

Ketan Patel, Senior Director, HP Inc India said, "Today designers want sleek, innovative and powerful workstations that enable new experiences. Designed for the workspace of the future, HP Z2 Mini Workstation is remarkably versatile and it showcases next level power by offering twice the power of a business-class mini PC, a key for designers."

The device which runs on Windows 10 Pro or Linux has the ability to support six displays, claims the company. The Z2 Mini also offers a wide range of CPU choices, ranging from Intel i3 6100 to an i7 6700 and Xeon E3-1245 v5. The device is equipped with next-generation Intel Xeon processors, Nvidia professional graphics, and HP Z Turbo Drive for handling large files fast.

The HP mini workstation also provides a spare M.2 slot, 2 USB 3.0 ports on the side, and on the back, two USB 3.0 ports and 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type C ports variable to the configuration. The workstation will come with 32GB of RAM at 2133MHz, a 500GB or 1TB HDD or 256GB PCIe-based SSD modules.

Jeff Wood, VP and General Manager for workstations, HP Inc said, "The HP Z2 Mini, the world’s first mini workstation, delivers breakthrough power and versatility in a small, iconic design, HP redefined the workstation in 2009 with the introduction of the HP Z series, and now once again is disrupting the category with the new HP Z2 Mini Workstation – the ultimate combination of space efficiency, elegance and power for our customers and partners."

The workstation dons a cooling system for whisper-quiet acoustics which will bring a 63 percent decrease in noise.
