“When our customers see how easy it is to open an HP Z1, without any tools, to change the hard drive or upgrade the memory, they’re hooked,” said Sandy S. Nasseri, president, MelroseMAC. “This is exactly what they’ve been looking for in a space-saving workstation for production or post-production work. The HP Z1 with an NVIDIA Quadro GPU, Avid Media Composer 6.0 and Adobe’s Creative Suite is the hottest thing to happen to digital media and entertainment in years.”

“Our customers range from small businesses and large enterprises to schools and government agencies; however, they all have one thing in common – a need for reliable technology,” said Kristin Rogers, executive vice president, Sales and Marketing, PC Mall. “The HP Z1 has all of the benefits of a traditional all-in-one PC, but adds workstation-class performance and reliability and, most importantly, upgradability.”
