With creative and technical professionals moving to remote work after the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, HP recently launched the updated Z workstation and a new version of their ZCentral virtual desktop system.
The demand for mobile workstations boomed after the many levels of lockdown around the world. Roughly 80% of designers, engineers, architects and medical professionals and data scientists, who have used office-bound and studio-bound desktop workstations up to this point, now need to work from home at least part-time or full time. If you are one of these, you have probably realised that you need more power, in a more compact package to facilitate your remote video editing, architectural design, medical image reading, etc.
