Tips

To maximise performance, keep the workstation plugged in during heavy GPU tasks and use HP Performance Advisor to optimise settings for specific applications. The anti-glare display reduces eye strain during long work sessions, and the spill-resistant keyboard protects against accidental liquid damage. Consider adding a Thunderbolt 4 dock for multi-monitor setups and faster peripheral connectivity.
