Re: Need advice on new HP Workstation
The HP Z series PCs are like Mac build quality but for Windows. They are simply stunning to open up and view the engineering it took to make everything so clean and precise.
I also have a Z820 and it is the most stable computer ever. Before that I built my own PC's and even purchased purpose built PC systems for Pro Tools. Nothing touches the HP Z series in terms of stability and compatibility for Pro Tools. I'm not saying you can't build a similar system that is even more powerful for less money, you can. But, it hasn't been tested with Pro Tools. I wouldn't suggest the Z820 today since it is DDR3 ram and last generation Xeons, though, if you are cash strapped, it should work just fine for many years to come. I have Windows 11 installed on mine and have zero issues, it really is a monster machine. If you want to save some cash, eBay is your friend. You'll find tons of off-lease Z series PCs and laptops for thousands less than new. As mentioned, there's also the new Mac Studio which is also an amazing machine if you decide to go that route.
