HP today expanded their line of Z series workstations with the addition of the HP EliteBook 8740w mobile workstation, adding a powerhouse monster to their list of advanced graphics and performance computers.

EliteBook 8740w is a designers dream, not only will you have precise color control on the 30-bit 17-inch display, but you also get HP DreamColor and the HP color calibration kit.

HP gives you the option to decide between the ATI FirePro M7820 with 1 GB of GDDR5 video memory, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M or the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M, both with 1 GB GDDR3 memory.

It’s also tough. Rated at MIL-STD 810G military-standards for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude, and high and low temperatures. You can start configuring yours at $1,999 direct from HP.
