How will the Intel® Ultrabook™ processors perform on real-world, workstation-class applications?
The ULT processors on the HP ZBook 15u G2 will work with the discrete AMD FirePro™ graphics to provide up to
mid-level workstation-class performance. However, for heavily threaded applications or users requiring the greatest
CPU performance, the HP ZBook 15 G2 and 17 G2 should be considered.
What is the docking solution for the HP ZBook 15u G2?
