Staying One Step Ahead in a Modern Workspace

There are three versions of this technology: the HP Thunderbolt 4 100 W G6 Dock designed for mainstream workers, and the HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra G6 Docks featuring 180 W of power delivery for creative professionals and 280 W for technical specialists and power users.

These docks enable easy cloud manageability without disrupting an employee's flow thanks to Poly Lens. The dock's hardware and software are protected at every touchpoint with HP Wolf Security interlaced with HP Sure Start. And the Thunderbolt 4 technology provides high-speed power alongside a single-cable connection to multiple monitors.

Ooooh that Z2 Mini looks pretty interesting. Though I do find it weird that the AI MAX 395 has the 50 TOPS XDNA2 NPU and not the overclocked/tuned 55 TOPS model present on the HX 375... Maybe HP just got the info wrong?
