Will HP ZBook Mobile Workstations continue to have similar support (i.e. HP Elite Premium support)?
Yes, HP ZBooks will have the same support as the HP EliteBooks. This includes our 3-year (3-3-3) limited warranty and
service offering which includes 3 years of parts, labor and on-site repair. Terms and conditions vary by country. Certain
restrictions and exclusions apply.
What is the new HP Mobile Workstation naming strategy?
This generation of new HP Mobile Workstations are still managed by the HP Workstation team. Last generation mobile
workstations took on the “Z” naming convention. This new product design was called “ZBook” and has a numerical
identifier that distinguishes screen size. With the product line refresh, we have moved to “G2.” For example, the
HP 15.6-inch ZBook is called “HP ZBook 15 G2,” etc.

What products are being replaced by the new HP ZBook Mobile Workstations?
The HP ZBook 17 G2 and HP ZBook 15 G2 replace the HP ZBook 17 and HP ZBook 15, respectively. The HP ZBook 15/17
products will be discontinued at the end of March 2015. The extended discontinuation dates allow our customers to have
a 5-6 month period to transition and deploy the new HP Mobile Workstation platforms. The HP ZBook 14 G2 is replacing
