We figured this machine was right up our alley. How could we resist a device with this kind of introduction: "Introducing the HP Z1, the world's first all-in-one workstation with a 27” (diagonal) display that snaps open to let you swap out parts and make upgrades. No tools required."

So how repairable/upgradeable is the Z1? Join us in this journey as we take apart HP's newest innovation in PCs, the HP Z1 Workstation.
