HP Workstation Z800

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...

Well-designed chassis Extremely stable

Expensive as configured, but there are a lot of configuration options available Adding a second processor not worth it

Another great performer from HP provides some major steps forward in the world of workstations.

Like I said at the beginning of this review, the first time I saw this workstation I literally said “Wow.” At the time I didn’t know anything about the performance of the Z800, I was just going off of the specs and the design. Now that I have seen how...

Modular design; easy to service and upgrade

When people look at a product, they often don't take into consideration the design principles that may have gone into the construction of that product. Often times, the product is brought to the home or office and it performs its intended purpose. And...

Nice stable system

Way too expensive, just built a system with quad-core i7, same HD, same memory, same for less than third of this price. Ridiculous. Just because it has a xeon in it, doesn't mean it's a workstation, or that it's worth this price

1. XEON processor ; Love AMD processors but right now hyperthreading makes the intel a little better, the problem here is its 4 cores at 3ghz I mean that's fast processing but what about the rest ; 2. It's an HP ; Like it or love it hp makes a good...

1. Low RAM and that's what you really need. I mean hey the xeon is great but really 6gb won't get me to shell out 5k ; 2. hdd space low. I mean really once again not spending more than 2k on anything less than half a terra, hopefully you buy in the 1k...

An expensive machine to be sure, but perfect if you're thinking of starting the next Pixar from your garage

The Z800 is a great looking, and very cleverly put together workstation offering tool-less access to the internals. Despite offering simply outstanding levels of performance it runs quietly. The initial costs may be high, but if you depend on...
