HP Z4 G4 Series Tower Workstation

Designed for engineering, visualization, and machine learning, the VR-ready Z4 G4 Series Tower Workstation from HP delivers the performance necessary for a wide spectrum of applications, including 3D CAD & rendering, simulation applications, VFX & design visualization, machine learning and edge-computing environments, and other intensive tasks. Its exterior provides tool-free access to a modular interior, while internal cooling solutions help to ensure its components won’t overheat. The system is powered by a 3.5 GHz Intel Core i9-9920X 12-Core processor and 19.25MB of Intel Smart Cache memory, all of which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 4.4 GHz utilizing Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.

The 64GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM comes in a 4 x 16GB configuration, allowing the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and to quickly access frequently-used files and programs. If you’d like to upgrade the memory, up to 128GB is supported across eight total 288-pin DIMM slots, or 16GB per slot.

For storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 512GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD with Triple-Level Cell (TLC) NAND flash memory. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the Z4 G4 features a pre-installed Thunderbolt 3 card with two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports and two DisplayPorts, plus two 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports (front) and seven 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (2 front, 5 rear), with one of the front ports doubling as a charging port. There are also two PS/2 ports, a 3.5mm audio input, and a 3.5mm audio output.

For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, the Z4 G4 features two internal 3.5″/2.5″ drive bays, two external 5.25″ drive bays, and one M.2 slot that supports 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors. No integrated or dedicated graphics controllers are included with this system, allowing the user to select a dedicated graphics card of their choice. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD ALC221 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Network connectivity is achieved using an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, HP’s Slim DVD Writer can be used to read from and write to optical media, and content can be downloaded from memory cards using an integrated SD card reader.

The Z4 G4 Series Tower Workstation includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, a power cord, a RAM Cooler, and a Fan and Front Card Guide. It is powered by an internal 1000W power supply and the installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro (64-Bit).

Windows 10 Pro
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8’s Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it’s not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
Additional Windows 10 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
