Compact workstation for professional workflows

The HP Z2 G9 small form factor desktop combines a 14-core Intel Core i5-14500 processor with 16GB of 4800MHz DDR5 memory and a 512GB NVMe solid state drive to handle demanding business applications in a space-saving chassis.

Suited for office users needing upgrade room

This system targets professionals who require certified application stability and the ability to install full-height graphics cards later, while builders needing more than 64GB of memory or multiple internal drive bays should consider a larger tower platform.

14-core CPU with 5GHz turbo drives throughput

The processor reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 5GHz across its 14 cores, delivering the single-thread and multi-thread performance that determines how quickly complex spreadsheets, code compiles and design tasks complete.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 front port cap at in practice?

The front USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports deliver up to 5 Gbps, shared with the rear 3.2 Gen 1 ports and limited by the controller and cable quality.

What physical clearance does the small-form-factor chassis give for a full-height graphics card?

The SFF case accepts full-height, full-length graphics cards while retaining space for the 460 W power supply and internal drive bays.

How is Windows 11 Pro activated on first boot, and what step do people miss?

Windows 11 Pro activates automatically once the PC connects to the internet; skipping the network setup screen leaves the licence unactivated.
