The pros are moving from Mac to Z.

HP Workstations

When it comes to choosing a workstation that delivers uncompromising performance, there’s simply no contest. Take it from experience.

“I started using HP Workstations, because anything that made the work faster gave me more chances to make it better.” – Rob Legato, Visual Effects Supervisor

Awesome performance – straight out of the box.

Thanks to the incredible processing power of the HP Z8 Workstations, Rob and Mark are able to take on massive workloads, running multiple workstreams simultaneously without ever slowing down.

When you need more, add more in seconds.
Creativity is always changing, so we created the HP Z8 Workstations to feature tool-less serviceability, letting you easily get inside and expand your hardware to have the power and speed to fit your needs. Whatever they are, whenever you want.

“We can take any footage, any format you can imagine, from GoPro files, DSLR files, 4K files – we can drop ‘em right into the edit and they play back perfectly.” – Jonathan Bird, Producer, Jonathan Bird’s Blue World

Hardware that’s made for your software
We worked directly with partners like Adobe®, Autodesk, and Avid to create software that’s optimized specifically to take advantage of HP hardware and the NVIDIA CUDA platform to wring even more powerhouse performance out of the GPU

Adobe^® Creative Cloud^™ gives you all you need to edit video, add motion graphics, mix sound, and more. All applications are optimized for HP Workstations so your creative world is all in one place.

HP Workstations are engineered to deliver whole-system computational power that makes creating digital media with Autodesk visual effects software faster and more efficient.

HP and Avid engineers collaborate to certify the latest versions of Media Composer, NewsCutter, and Pro Tools on the HP Workstations.

We come to you – not the other way around.
For 30 years HP has been supporting the creative professional, which is why we provide a limited three-year, on-site warranty2. So no more packing up equipment and hauling it in or sending it off. If anything goes wrong, we come to you, on your schedule, and get you back up and running fast.

“This is the first year we’ve actually had technology that can keep up with the demands we are trying to meet.” – Devin Super Tramp, YouTube Content Creator

Go mobile – no cords, drives, or extras needed.
Creatives like Devin can’t be chained to an office, which is why HP created the ZBook – designed to deliver the same level of heavy-duty production and post production, no matter where you are, without any additional equipment.

Devin can seamlessly transition from the road to the studio, transferring all his data via Thunderbolt™ 2.01– the industry’s fastest, most versatile I/O connection. And with the HP DreamColor LP2480zx Professional LCD display, he can see it all play back in one billion active colors.

Switch to Windows seamlessly
“The thing we were terrified about when switching over to PC’s, was learning Windows, but it wasn’t as bad as we thought, especially because we spend the majority of our time in Adobe® Premier Pro and the interface is exactly the same.”
