HP recently made an exciting announcement about their HP ZBook Mobile Workstation and Z Display News. HP ZBook G4 Mobile Workstations meet the need for business high quality workstations that are built to last.

Because of the challenges of today, with hackers targeting mobile devices, HP has created the third generation of their Sure Start, HP Sure Start GEN3, a self-healing BIOS with run-time intrusion detection.

HP DreamColor displays are gold standard for accuracy, in enhancing their design and creation experience. 80% of Academy Award Nominees for Visual Effects used an HP DreamColor display.
