Over the years computing power has reached phenomenal milestones. I remember the day when the hottest topic was Intel’s 500MHz CPU, and how it was a ‘powerhouse’ for applications of the time. In today’s world, more and more people are putting their PCs...

Just over a year ago I was given the opportunity to review the HP Z800 when it was first released. Back then it was a very powerful workstation with many great qualities that could not be found on any other workstation or desktop. Now a year later HP has...

The Z800 has outperformed all the other workstations and desktops that I have reviewed. This is truly a fantastic machine with not only a really slick design, but also a fantastic level of performance and the potential for so much more. I am very confi...

The beautiful HP Z800 workstation knocked our socks off last year, but now it's packing even more serious heat. This new $10,483 workstation, designed by BMW DesignworksUSA, looks the same as last year's model, but inside lurks a pair of Intel's fastes...

Thats a lot of very costly equipment to cram into one box, but the starting price for a low end Z800 is under £2,000, which if youre a video or 3D rendering specialist working from home isnt a bad investment for a machine that will save you days o...

Last May, InfoWorld presented a comparative roundup of workstations built on the then-new quad-core processors. In that review, I examined an entry-level machine, two midranges, and a high-end system. While impressed by their muscle, I still felt the...

Return That Investment HP's take on the pricing for these machines is "full speed ahead." While it's true that HP is aware that a lot of us are hurting, they do make a good point in that, if you have a fast, stable machine that uses less power to do mo...

When was the last time you looked at a computer and it caused you to utter the word “Wow?” When I was first introduced to the HP Z800 that is exactly what I said. This workstation is filled with all sorts of features that make life for compute...
