[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a belief that powerful computers should come in big packages, as the case was for every desktop computer I’ve built and owned. But The HP Z2 mini is a game changer. It’s easy to open up to work on upgrades or repairs, has plenty of port options (more than I expected) and it’s easy to carry in a bag with it’s charger, wires, mouse and keyboard.
I purchased this about 2 months ago and use it regularly. I have absolutely no issues. It is fast and responsive. I do wish it had a few more usb slots, but I purchased a usb extender and it works well with the computer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Z2 Mini G5 b/c i needed Windows 10 for new software requirements. The setup was straightforward and the processor is rapid fire! But what is most significant, is the size of this puppy is smaller than a loaf of bread!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking for a workstation with large RAM capacity (64GB) in a small footprint. So, far so good. No issue so far: performance is good, size is right at it's quiet (with only occasional spin-ups).
Skip the expedited shipping, however - it's still shipped ground.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When purchasing something this big, I think there could be room for improvement in order to get people excited for something so big to reduce buyer's remorse. A live 3D model of the workstation would've been neat. As you change the parts around trying to figure out which core or RAM or hard drive to go with, you can see it change in the 3D model. I've seen some examples of this being used in websites where you're building your own pizza with the toppings you want. Another suggestion is that, I think there needs to be more work letting the customer know if the parts you picked are over powered for the chassis which actually happened to me. I picked the Intel core i7, 32gb RAM, with the highest graphics card possible, and I got an email from support people saying that the options I picked had too much power than the actual power supply could support so I was inevitably asked to take down my graphics card to a Quadro. Other than that, the computer is perfect and runs great. Thank you HP!
