HP has expanded its Z1 G1i workstation lineup with a new entry level configuration. The desktop integrates an Intel Core Ultra 5 235 processor alongside 16GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage. This new option is currently available in the Chinese market priced at 7729 Yuan.
Under the hood sits an Intel Core Ultra 5 235 processor running on 14 cores and 14 threads. HP paired this processor with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid state drive to handle daily business multitasking. To keep acquisition costs down, the desktop ships with FreeDOS rather than a licensed Windows operating system. This software choice means IT managers will need to install their own operating platform.
The physical chassis measures 33.7 by 30.8 by 15.5 centimeters and weighs roughly 5.5 kilograms. HP certified the build under MIL STD 810H durability standards to ensure it survives harsh workplace environments. For cooling, the front panel features a diamond grid pattern matrix that maximizes ventilation. The connectivity selection is generous, offering 4 USB A ports running at 10Gbps alongside 2 USB C ports running at 20Gbps right on the front panel.
