Creative professionals and engineers often need a workstation that can handle heavy 3D rendering, AI tasks, and large data sets, but they also have limited desk space. A bulky tower can crowd a workstation and make cable management a nightmare, slowing down productivity. The HP Z2 Mini G1i gives you top-level performance in a tiny footprint, so you can work faster without sacrificing room on your desk.
HP Z2 Mini G1i, Intel Core Ultra 9, DDR5-SDRAM, 64GB/1TB, W11 Pro Workstation with Mini - Power in a Small Package
This Mini workstation packs an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 1 TB NVMe SSD into a compact chassis. It is built for designers, video editors, and AI developers who need fast rendering, smooth multitasking and reliable AI acceleration. If you struggle with slow previews or long export times, this Mini PC gives you the speed you need while staying out of the way.
Usages
The Z2 Mini works well in a design studio where space is at a premium. Use it for real-time 3D modeling, CAD projects, and photorealistic rendering. It also handles AI inference and machine-learning training with its built-in NPU. Video editors can edit 4K footage without lag, and architects can run large BIM files on a desk that already holds a monitor and a printer.
