People all over these roles need critical color matching as well, and the Dreamcolor display on the Z1 fits that well. Similarly, in compositing, paint and roto artists usually have lower machines, while the people building final composites get the higher end systems. Higher end dual proc machines are usually reserved for TDs. Many animation studios have their line animators and modellers working on single-processor machines. Seeing as how he even owns a Z420, he knows people buy non-socket 2011 workstations. First, this machine, as priced, is pretty much maxed out, not a starter machine. I have to disagree on several of the points.

Like the new Mac Dustbin Pro, the HP Z1 is, in my view, answering a question no one is asking. The HP Z-1 is elegant but expensive and simply not flexible enough.

HP should know well enough that workstation users have to choose particular monitors for their applications and preferences, similarly GPU's, plus add non-proprietary PCIe RAID cards, special soundcard / interfaces, and often many HD's. Think of the file size of impending 4K and 3D video when considering the amount of RAM, GPU's, peripherals, and file storage required. The memory bandwidth of Xeon E5 is more than double that of Xeon E3 as is the number of PCIe lanes. Also, serious workstation users at that price will be looking for at least six or even eight-core CPUs- at least the LGA2011 socket to allow a change later.

I don't know any professional office so pushed on space that would require this format for a workstation. Why not not make a compact desktop and set a standard monitor on top? If HP needs an idea, I have a 2006 Dell Optiplex 740 that raises a 27" monitor to the perfect viewing height- or can sit vertically on the desk or floor and can use a standard desktop Quadro. More importantly, look at the configuration of the excellent performing HP Z820 possible for the same $6,600- this getting into dual Xeon E5 category- and today cores are king. Those needing mobility can obtain good performance from a Dell Precision M at a similar cost- though of course, the larger and 2560 resolution of the monitor is a big plus for the HP. Much effort was used to create a stylish, high performance all-in- one, but at 47lbs and $6,600, what is the market? It's not mobile given the configuration and weight, and it's highly expensive.
However, in a fundamental aspect, the HP Z-1 needs to be considered in the reason for it's existence. As usual, a very thorough testing and well constructed description by Tom's of an interesting new system.
