What is the starting price of the new HP ZBook Mobile Workstations?

Pricing will vary by region/country and configurations.

What are the key requirements for a typical HP ZBook Mobile Workstation customer?

Key requirements are:

• Highest-performing mobile CPU for best possible workstation application performance

• Highest-performing workstation-class graphics with hardware accelerated OpenGL graphics support

• 

ISV certifications for reliable application performance

• Optimized mobile workstation form factor

• True 64-bit computing environment

• High-quality display panel technology

• Reliability and durability

• Appealing industrial design

• Common commercial accessories & docks

What type of users are the HP ZBook Mobile Workstations designed for?

Creative or design specialists, travelers, and knowledge workers that need high-performance mobile workstations 
designed for reliable performance with demanding applications.

 

 
What is the logic behind the HP ZBook Mobile Workstation industrial design?

The HP Mobile Workstation team chose a bold hematite and graphite color combination that represents power, 
performance, and high-end aesthetics. This color combination is used across many other commercial platforms, but the  
HP ZBooks have unique design elements. One design element unique to HP ZBooks is the soft-touch paint border 

around the A-cover of the unit. This soft-touch paint provides added aesthetics and is applied to “high traffic” areas that 
might otherwise be exposed to excessive fingerprint smudging. The wedge design provides necessary thermal support, 

optimal I/O locations, and a more ergonomic experience during standard typing and usage.

What materials are used in the new HP ZBook Mobile Workstation platforms?

The HP ZBook Mobile Workstations are constructed from aluminium and magnesium with other metal alloys and rubber 

elements. These materials create the best possible combination of durability, light weight, and low flexibility.

Where do HP ZBook Mobile Workstations fit in the overall HP family of Business Notebook PCs?

The HP ZBook Mobile Workstations are HP’s best combination of high-performance features and ISV-certified graphics 

in a business-rugged design. They uniquely provide full performance quad-core CPUs
