HP recommends Windows® 7.
In both desktop and mobile systems, HP Workstations help you boost productivity with multi-core processors, large memory capacities, leading-edge graphics, and unique technologies built for the media and entertainment industries – such as HP DreamColor technology, which helps you maintain consistent color across your digital workflows. That's just one example of HP's deep commitment to serve the needs of media and entertainment industry pros.
HP is deeply committed to the needs of artists and other professionals working with animation, 3D, visual effects, and computer-generated (CG) applications. In desktop and mobile systems, HP workstations delivers rock-solid system reliability, high-end graphics cards and GPU options, extreme processing power, certification from independent software vendors, and technologies created for your industry – such as HP DreamColor display technology, which helps you maintain consistent colors across your digital workflows.
HP invests in people, equipment, partner relationships, as well as testing and ISV (Independent Software Vendor) certification processes to ensure HP Workstations work as expected with professional applications from the world's leading software companies. Before HP Workstations receive ISV certification, they undergo rigorous testing. This level of HP effort means your investment in software and HP hardware is protected – the HP commitment to the quality and support of your solution.
HP workstations are designed for mission-critical applications, where system failure is not acceptable. The tool-less chassis makes it easy to service and simple to access, change and add components. All HP workstations come with a limited 3-year parts, 3-year labor, and 3-year onsite service standard warranty that is extendable up to 5 years.
The HP Performance Displays are designed and engineered with HP Workstations to outperform, so you can outperform with striking visual results. These displays deliver maximum image performance and accuracy thanks to vivid IPS panels, 178-degree viewing angles, and up to 10x the contrast ratio of mainstream displays (at a 60-degree viewing angle). They also offer ultra-fast response times and 30-bit panels (available on select models) for smoother color transitions.
