    Question HP z2 Mini Workstation - Thoughts?

    Looking at replacing older workstations at the office with the new HP z2 Mini with the following configurations.

    HP Z2 Mini G3 Performance Workstation with discrete NVIDIA® Quadro M620 Graphics (X8U89AV)
    256 GB HP Z Turbo Drive G2 MLC PCIe SSD
    HP Z2 Mini G3 Performance Country Kit
    Operating System Load to PCIe
    16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4-2400 SODIMM Unbuffered Memory
    3/3/3 (material/labor/onsite) Year Mini Warranty
    Intel® Core™ i7-6700 (3.4 GHz, up to 4 GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 MB cache, 4 cores) + Intel® HD Graphics 530
    Discrete NVIDIA® Quadro M620 Graphics (2 GB, 4 DisplayPort)
    Windows 10 Pro 64 - HP recommends Windows 10 Pro.[/INDENT]


    Has anyone taken a chance on these yet to try them out? Any recommendations?

    Thank you,

    Will 16Gb be enough? Depends on the models you plan to load on it. What's the price? Sounds like a decent machine.

    hard drive seems awfully small -- once Win10 starts patching itself and updating weekly.

    And is the graphics adapter listed on Adesk certified site?

    We use these for conference room PCs, and they do open Civil 3D and do some minor work during meetings and such.
    For the price, they are pretty good.

    I can't speak for using these 8/9 hours a day all week, for 3+ years, but they are workstation class components.
    I feel like as long as you're not working on massive data sets, that they would work okay.
