HP Z2 Mini G3 Repair

The HP Z2 Mini G3 is the first mini workstation designed for Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) released in December of 2016. This reliable system is praised for its quietness, small design, inside accessibility, and its ability to run up to three high resolution displays at once. This high-performance, compact system was created by HP Development Company’s experienced designers.

This workstation is the first of the Mini Workstation series and it features two models: Standard and Performance. Each model boasts 3 DisplayPorts, 4 USB 3.0 ports, a RJ-45 LAN Port, a headphone/microphone combination jack, a WLAN as well as bluetooth module, and the Performance edition also includes two Type-C USB ports.

The G3 was replaced by the G4 edition in July of 2018.
