a 21.5in wide viewing angle WLED display
with Full HD resolution; up to 7th Gen
Intel Core i7 processors; up to 32GB of

optional ten point multi-touch screen allows
users to interact with tasks.
Desktop power
The fourth generation of the HP ZBook
Mobile Workstation delivers desktop
power in a sleek mobile design.
Developed for creative workers, such
as filmmakers, designers and artists,
the devices boast a number of
security features, including HP
Sure Start Gen3, the industry’s
first self-healing PC BIOS with
comprehensive encryption, strong authentication, malware protection, data protection,
identity assurance and threat detection and response.
The HP ZBook line-up includes models for a variety of applications. The HP ZBook 17, for
example, can be configured with optimal horsepower and graphics cards to bring VR content
to life, while the premium HP ZBook Studio comes with extended battery life of up to 16.5
hours. The smallest and lightest model, the HP ZBook 14u, is just 2mm thick and weighs
1.64kg.
On-the-go studio
The Wacom MobileStudio Pro is a new line of lightweight mobile computers for CAD
artists and professional creators of 2D and 3D content. They come with Wacom Pro Pen
2 pen technology featuring four times higher pen accuracy and pressure sensitivity than
previous versions, enhanced resolution, leading-edge graphics and a 3D camera. There
are six configurations to choose from – four 13.3in models and two 15.6in models – all
bundled with Windows 10.
Quiet operation
Acer has announced two new all-in-one
desktops, the 27in Aspire U27 and 23.8in
Aspire Z24, with 7th Gen Intel Core
processors and up to 32 GB of DDR4 2400
MHz memory. The 2017 iF Design Award-
winning Aspire U27 boasts an ultra-thin
0.5-inch chassis, a diamond-cut v-shaped
metal stand and Acer’s LiquidLoop fanless
cooling system for quiet operation. The
Aspire Z24 is even thinner (0.4 inches)
and comes with discrete NVIDIA GeForce
940MX graphics and an optical drive.
Both devices use Acer BlueLightShield
technology to reduce the emission of blue
light and Acer Flickerless technology to cut
down on eye fatigue.
Creative canvas
Not a desktop per se, the Dell Canvas
connects to a PC to provide an additional,
horizontal surface for creative and
collaborative work. The 27in QHD Adobe
RGB display has 20 points of touch
recognition and includes a pen for more
precise work. Dell Canvas is developed in
partnership with Microsoft and powered
by virtually any Windows 10 device. Ideal
for content developers and designers, it
plugs seamlessly into software solutions
from Adobe, Autodesk, AVID, Microsoft,
SolidWorks and other partners.
Mobile creativity
Cylindrical desktop
Challenging traditional perceptions of
how a desktop PC should look
and operate, Samsung launched
the ArtPC Pulse towards the end
of last year. It has a cylindrical,
modular, full metal design and an
embedded ambient pulse lighting
band, which provides colour-coded
notifications of events, such as
a new email. Features include a
6th generation Intel Core i5 or i7
processor; AMD Radeon RX460
GPU; up to 16GB of memory; a 1
HDD module, plus 256GB SSD for
faster load times and performance;
and a 360° Harman/Kardon
speaker.
Small and sleek
The HP Elite Slice is proof that desktop
computers can be small and sleek. The
first modular commercial desktop with
cable-less connectivity, it measures 6.5
x 1.38 x 6.5 inches and weighs just over
1kg. Customers can opt for a factory cover
or stackable options with extra
functionality such as the
Collaboration Cover
or Wireless Charging
Cover. There is also a
choice of stackable
modules, including an
Audio Module and ODD (Optical
Disk Drive) Module.
