With the Z2 Mini G1a, HP presents a compact workstation that relies on AMD's new Strix Halo APU for the first time. The combination of powerful CPU performance, integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics, and space-saving design is aimed at creative professionals, developers, and power users. In our test, we examined how the mini PC performs in everyday use—from performance and cooling to system efficiency.

We've had one for a month. It's for business so we got the 385 model. Still breezes through anything, supports 4 off 4k monitors and runs cool and quiet. Plus we saved a lot of money. Added another m.2 ssd, and some external connectivity. Very impressed.

I was waiting for AMD to release the 9000G to build a PC to replace a decade old A8-7600 build. In the end we got fed up and ordered the Z2 Mini G1a. Reports suggest the 9000G isn't that great.
