HP Z800 workstation review

Packing the power of a portable film studio into a mid-sized PC case, HP's dual Xeon workstation is a powerful creative tool, if you can afford it

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

HP Z800 Workstation review

At its launch, HP referred to its Z800 as a rock star amongst workstations. We take it for spin to see if it deserves to sit centre stage or if it should head back into rehab.

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...

HP Z800 Workstation: First Take

The HP Z800 has the looks and the performance of a winner, and only a cataclysmic failure at the last minute will stop this having a huge impact on the industry. We look forward to reviewing the unit soon.

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 Z800 12-core Workstation

Just over a year ago I was given the opportunity to review the HP Z800 when it was first released. Back then it was a very powerful workstation with many great qualities that could not be found on any other workstation or desktop. Now a year later HP...

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...

HP Z800 Computer Workstation Review

The HP Z800 serves as a Video Editing Compter that uses less power to do more work, so you are working smarter and you get more work done in less time.

Well-designed chassis, Extremely stable

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

Review: HP Z800 8-core workstation

Check out our review of the new 12-core, water cooled, Z800 workstation.

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...
