HP REVEALS WORLD'S FIRST DETACHABLE
WORKSTATION
HP’s reinvention of detachable PCs
began earlier this year with the introduction of the HP Spectre x2 and the HP
Elite x2. Today’s introduction of the HP Z-Book x2 completes HP’s trifecta with
its most powerful detachable solution targeted for the creative community. With
this new offering, HP is extending its PC leadership by pioneering a new era
for detachable PCs that offer superb performance, elegance and efficiency.
“As the
world’s most powerful and first detachable PC workstation, there is
no device better suited to turn the vision of artists and designers into
reality,” said Gwen Coble, director, Workstations, Thin Clients, Retail
Solutions and Immersive Computing, EMEA, HP Inc. “With the HP Z-Book x2,
we are delivering the perfect tool to accelerate the creative process – with
unprecedented power, performance and natural ease-of-use. This device will make
it easier than ever for creators to do what they do best – bring inspiring new
ideas to life and enrich the world around us.”
Liberating Digital Creativity
The HP Z-Book x2 allows designers to
effortlessly create with quad-core Intel® Core™ processors2, twice
the memory of any other detachable PC3 and NVIDIA Quadro Graphics that deliver 73 percent higher graphics
performance compared to the Surface Pro4. A quiet, dual-fan active
cooling system is designed to dissipate heat from the powerful graphics card
and processor. To better meet the needs of the creative community, including
Adobe users, HP also developed customizable, application-aware HP Quick Keys,
to provide artists with 18 time-saving shortcuts.
"At
Adobe, our goal is to accelerate creativity. Creative Cloud is the
platform that enables us to deliver powerful innovation in our apps and
cloud-based services supported by Adobe Sensei with artificial intelligence at
the heart of every customer experience,” said Mala Sharma, vice president and
general manager, Creative Cloud Product, Marketing and Community. “Adobe is
thrilled with our collaboration with HP, which we know will further fuel
creativity and give Creative Cloud members more power and freedom to create
wherever inspiration strikes.”
Today, many creative professionals
use multiple devices such as a Mac-Book Pro plus an iPad to accomplish the same
tasks that can be done on the HP Z-Book x2. Knowing that ultimate mobility is
important, HP created a single device that delivers the same performance
capabilities from inking to docked mode.
HP’s most versatile detachable to
date, the HP Z-Book x2 operates in four modes: laptop, detached, docked and
tablet.
·
In laptop mode, the HP Z-Book x2 is
a powerful mobile workstation with a keyboard leveraged from the HP Z-Book
Studio.
·
In detached mode, it allows users to
create on the tablet with HP’s most accurate and expressive pen, while still
having full access to their entire shortcut keys with the Bluetooth®-enabled
keyboard off to the side.
·
In docked mode, the HP Z-Book x2 can
power two additional 4K displays or five total displays.
·
In tablet mode, it maintains full
graphics performance allowing users to capture ideas with powerful NVIDIA 3D
graphics.
Using HP’s most natural pen with the
HP Z-Book x2, users can create without interruption as the pen never needs to
be charged. The battery-less, HP-designed pen based on Wacom EMR technology,
responds instantly to every nuance of the artist’s hand for natural motion. The
HP Z-Book x2 offers 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity with multi-directional
tilt capabilities and includes a dedicated eraser.
As a member of the world’s most
secure and manageable mobile workstation family[1]0, the HP Z-Book
x2 features HP Sure Start Gen311 for BIOS protection, TPM
2.0 for hardware-based encryption to secure credentials, secure authentication
methods through the Smart Card Reader and HP’s Client Security Suite Gen312 to
protect data, device and identity, including facial recognition and fingerprint
reader.
