HP's entry-level workstation

摘要

Conventional wisdom in computing is, if your PC is an entry-level machine, it's not a workstation, and if it's a workstation, it's more expensive than an entry-level PC. But this season, HP, Dell and other hardware makers may try to disprove this notion by releasing units that are powerful enough for CAD and visualization-priced below $1,000. The rollout began with HP, which debuted its first entry-level workstation, the Z210, priced beginning at $569 (small form factor unit) and $659 (convertible mini-tower model). CPU choices for Z210 include Intel Xeon E3 and second-generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors.
