HP Philippines officially introduced its latest addition to its workstation portfolio: the HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop, HP’s most powerful 14” mobile workstation, and the Z2 Mini G1a Workstation desktop PC, HP’s most powerful mini workstation. These two new, next-gen AI PCs are designed to handle demanding AI workloads, accelerate creative processes, and support high-performance professional applications, empowering professionals, businesses and creatives to achieve new levels of productivity, performance and innovation.
HP ZBook Ultra G1a and Z2 Mini G1a
Both the HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop and Z2 Mini G1a Workstation desktop PCs were built to deliver next-gen AI performance and mobility in compact designs. The HP ZBook Ultra and HP Z2 Mini enable users to run complex workflows simultaneously such as 3D design, render graphics-intensive projects, and work locally with large language models (LLMs).
The ZBook Ultra G1a lets users tackle workflows that was usually not possible on any laptops thanks to its AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO processor. Take previously desk bound workflows from the office to another site with its thin form factor. You may assign up to 96GB RAM exclusively to the GPU to run graphic-heavy projects or work locally with LLMs.
The HP Z2 Mini G1a is the world’s most powerful mini workstation. Like the ZBook Ultra G1a, the Z2 Mini G1a lets users simultaneously 3D design and render graphics-intensive projects or work locally with LLMs.
HP’s latest workstation line-up meets the growing demand amongst professionals and creatives for high-performing computing devices to harness the power of AI. In the Philippines, the creative economy is a major contributor to jobs and national growth, employing over 7 million people and accounting for about 7.3 % of GDP — yet many in the sector face gaps in digital skills and technology readiness as workflows become more complex and digitally intensive. Reports highlight the need to upskill creative and technical workers in digital technologies, including AI and advanced media tools, to better prepare them for evolving industry demands.
“Many Filipino creators and professionals today are handling far more complex tasks than they were even a few years ago. Our goal with ZBook Ultra and Z2 Mini is simply to make sure they have tools that match those evolving demands,” said Ida Evina Ong-Co, Managing Director of HP Philippines “The launch of both AI-powered workstations also advances HP vision for the future of work, where design solutions that deliver growth and more fulfilling work experiences.”
The launch highlighted HP’s long-standing goal of equipping the workforce with purpose-built technology that adapts to evolving demands. With AI becoming central to creative applications, from video editing to generative design, HP’s new workstation lineup is engineered to deliver sustained performance, reliable thermals, and professional-grade certification.
