HP Z600 Workstation Review

 

It's been a few months since HP launched their Z400, Z600 and Z800 workstations, and we've finally got the company's mid-range Z600 on the SlashGear test bench. A dual-processor monster that HP envisage being used in midrange CAD, financial modelling...

The Z600 range starts from $1,800, though it’s worth repeating that for the dual-processor machine we’ve been testing you’re looking at just over $7,500. That’s a whole lot of money, but then again you get a whole lot of performance for it, and in a...

HP Z800 Workstation Review

 

An exceptional workstation that delivers industry-leading performance.

Exceptional performance, brilliant chassis design, easy to access internals, variety of configurations available

Boot-up a bit on the slow side

Having the PSU away from the other components also means that HP were able to have enough room to improve circulation across other key components such as the CPU and memory modules. There are fans aplenty inside, providing cool air across the memory...

Review: HP Z600 Workstation

 

A few months ago we had the opportunity of reviewing the HP Z800 and it got our praise in just about every way. Today we are looking at its little brother the Z600.

After all is said and done the Z600 certainly lives up to the expectations that were set by the Z800. If you are looking for a Workstation and the Z800 is out of your price range then the Z600 may fit the bill. Its performance is very similar in most...

Review: HP Z600 workstation

 

The focus of computing may have shifted from PCs to notebooks but some people still need power, sometimes seemingly ridiculous amounts of it. Whether you are rendering 3D graphics or editing video or you just have a lot to do at once, the workstation...

HP Z600 Workstation (First Look Review)

 

New design is innovative, impressive, and superbly engineered.

No matter how you look at it, this workstation is impressive. It is compact, quiet, speedy, and highly configurable. It has innovative design and superb engineering and is forward looking in terms of expansion. The attention to detail in this system...

Review: HP Z800 workstation

 

Hewlett Packard, one of the most widely respected company's in the history of computing, and a true technology innovator (versus marketer), has blown the whole notion of computer design wide open with the latest version of its Z 800 workstations. The...

Form and function in a high performance workstation

HP Z600 Workstation

 

There are only a few words to describe this new box from HP: The Z600 is smoking hot! HP is taking the challenge of more power in a smaller footprint to the next level with the Z600.

Form factor; video card; configuration; speed

Simply put, I obviously was much more impressed with this box than even I thought I could be. The features included didn't fail to impress and considering this is a midlevel box, the series can handle whatever your professional needs may be.—Bruce...

From workstations available for less than From workstations available for less than $1,000 all the way up to the five-digit range, HP,000 all the way up to the five-digit range, HP's Z-Series line is customizable to your workstation needs. HP...

HP’s workstations are nearly completely configurable, and the Z600 sent to us was designed with video- and photo-editing performance in mind. In SPECviewperf 10's 3dsmax-04 (3ds Max Viewset; scenario for light tracing) and SW-02 (SolidWork...

Over-all , if you are in the market for a workstation, think about just building it your-self as opposed to getting garbage like this For less then the price of this "workstation" you can get a real workstation with: 1x SILVERSTONE Temjin Series TJ10-B...

It's a great solution if you don't know the value of a dollar or have any knowledge of workstations, servers, or computers in general

Where to begin ; First of all, for a single socket motherboard with only 4 cores for a workstation to cost $4,000+ is crazy ; Secondly, the whole setup is and was outdated by the time HP released this ; And last of all, If you're buying this for the...

Know what you are buying!

 

Anyone who compares this to a home build is clueless. Yes, you could build a machine at or above the performance for less, but that is not a machine for a professional engineering environment. I bill engineering time at $120-$280 per hour depending...

This is a high-end workstation computer for applications such as engineering CAD. For these applications, the machine is awesome! These motherboards use high-end capacitors in the power system. Also, much of the system is over-built for reliability....

Price is a couple hundred high at the moment
