Z2 Mini: An Ultimate CAD Optimized Workstation By Hewlett Packard

   This 2.3 inches high, Internally optimized to be powerful and the same time to be cool and completely silent. It won’t interrupts the creative process – The CAD Systems Projects Developing.

   The Z2 Mini 2 kg Body, glowing from high-quality electronics inside is smart engineered to meet the highest requirements of Graphical & CPU Hardware for satisfying the needs of the latest CAD / CAM Software Products. 

   The design is Clean, Simple and the same time is futuristic and modern. The Headers are smart situated, allowing the device to stay both a vertical and horizontal position. Their count is more than enough, even for creating a “NASA Looks Desktop Configuration”.
