From InfoWorld: HP has been hoping that sleek, powerful hardware will lure Apple Mac aficionados to switch to its PCs, and now is aiming the new Z2 Mini mini-desktop at Mac Mini users.
The Z2 Mini packs the computing power of a full-size desktop into a box that can be held in one hand. Starting at $699, it will be available worldwide starting in December.
HP has been excelling in PC design, with innovative desktops like Pavilion Wave, a cylindrical desktop, and Elite Slice, a modular mini-desktop onto which components can be snapped.
The 2.4-kilogram Z2 Mini can cram an Intel server CPU and discrete Nvidia GPU—both of which have their own cooling fans—into a tiny space while delivering screaming performance.
The Z2 Mini could be an alternative for those looking to replace the aging Mac Mini, which hasn’t received a design or hardware upgrade for years now.
