HP Z1 G2 Review

REVIEW - August 5, 2014 HP Z1 G2 Review Reviewer: Jan Ozer Essentially the size of a thick 27in. monitor, the HP Z1 G2 is a touchscreen-driven, field-serviceable all-in-one computer with brains, brawn, and beauty; it's pretty enough to be used in customer-facing applications and powerful enough for real computing chores. In this second generation of the computer, HP added two mini-PCIe/mSATA slots plus an optional Thunderbolt 2 module in an optical bay, resolving the lack of expansion and device connectivity that limited the utility of the first generation. This connectivity and the touchscreen makes the Z1 G2 a great choice for a range of embedded applications, from producing live events to serving as a customer-driven kiosk at a tradeshow or other venue.
