WORKSTATIONS "Our whole engineering mentality is to make it as thin and light as possible," Allard explains. "There are no USB-A ports for that reason. This machine has a high-res display — up to UHD+, 500 nits of brightness, 100 percent Adobe RGB, and 99 percent DCI-P3. For the post market, this is a big deal!" The 5560 ships with PremierColor software that lets user easily switch color spaces based on their workflow. Like the 3561, the 5560's display emits low levels of blue light while still delivering 100 percent Adobe RGB and 99 percent DCI-P3. Its wi-fi capabilities have been improved and it weighs ap- proximately 4lbs. Dell's 5760 is a 17-inch equivalent of the 5560, sporting a thin & light profile, and similar specs, while going up a level with Nvidia RTX A3000 graphics, paired with gen 4 storage (up to 8TB). "For users that are working with Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Creative Cloud, those products like to have a separate scratch disk," notes Allard. "They get a performance benefit from having a separate scratch disk. This machine, you can have two NVMe SSDs, and that gives you a performance boost." The 5760 also has two independent Thunderbolt channels, allowing users to spread out the bandwidth for M&E workflows. The upgraded panel offers P3 coverage, and with an InfinityEdge 17-inch, 16:10 display , it can fit into a 15-inch bag. The 5760 starts at under 5lbs. Dell's Precision 7000 series, which includes the new 15-inch 7560, is de- signed to act as a desktop replacement. "All internals of these machines have been redesigned, with the latest pro- cessors, gen 4 graphics — including the latest Nvidia Ampere," says Allard. "How much power you give that graphics capability will determine how fast that graphic card runs. In the previous generation (7550), it was 85W. It's now boosted to 90W of power. You get more power out of the graphics because we are giving it more." The 7560 goes up to 3466MHz and up to 128GB of RAM, making it well suited for virtual production workflows — which previously relied on a bigger desktop solution. Allard says the 7560 can be used by DITs on-set for playing back RAW Red files in realtime. The 7560 can be configured with a 4K UHD HDR 600 panel (800 nits), which covers the Adobe RGB and P3 specs, making it good for HDR workflows. 5G support is optional for users working in the field that might want the radio and transceiver option. Dell's 7760 (previously the 7750) is a 17-inch release that is similar to the 15-inch 7560. Up to 115W of power will further improve the graphics card's per- formance, and up to four M.2 drives can be integrated, one being gen 4. The display supports 120Hz for users that might be shooting over-cranked footage. All of Dell's mobile workstations will be available in June. The 5000 Series gets a USB-C dongle for additional port connectivity. HP HP (www.hp.com) recently introduced its latest ZBooks — the Studio G8, Fury G8 and Power G8 — all of which are built for professional content creators and power users who need performance, reliability, expandability and versatility while working in any environment. The new releases recognize that businesses have shifted from traditional offices to hybrid environments, and that creative professionals need pro-grade performance on the go. HP ZCentral makes it easy for creators to take advantage of remote access to workstation power. The realtime colloboration capability of ZCentral Remote Boost software allows access to the full resources, compute power and infra- structure of the office or production studio while working remotely. ZCentral keeps data locked up and secure while still enabling a realtime local remote work experience. The HP Security Suite keeps user data safe and secure, in- cluding the new HP Tamper Lock intrusion system that will let IT departments know if someone tries remove the cover of the PC. Eleventh generation Intel Core H-series and Xeon W-11000 mobile proces- sors help deliver industry-leading, desktop-class performance in laptop form factors. The latest ZBook offerings are powered by Nvidia RTX laptop GPUs. At 15.6-inches, the HP ZBook Studio G8 is one of the most powererful mobile workstations of its size. Users can render or visualize in realtime and collabo- rate remotely. The Studio G8 is purpose-built and engineered from the ground up to meet the demanding needs of creative applications and workflows. It features the HP DreamColor display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a billion on- screen colors with 100 percent DCI-P3 color accuracy. HP Sound Calibration lets users get crisp audio and automatically block unwanted sounds, which is well suited for remote working environments, where conditions can be unpre- dictable. The Studio G8 can be equipped with Nvidia RTX A5000 or GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPUs and 11th gen Intel Core i9 vPro processors. The HP ZBook Fury G8 is expandable and customizable, with 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch models available, both featuring a slim design. Geared toward content creation, rendering and editing, the Fury also features HP Sound Calibration and the option for HP's Sure View Reflect privacy screen. Multi-app workflows thrive on the Fury G8 thanks to 11th gen Intel Core i9 and Xeon processors, and up to 128GB 3200MHz system memory. Nvidia's RTX A5000 powers graphics and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity is included. HP positions its 15.6-inch ZBook Power G8 as the company's most afford- able mobile workstation, giving customers the option to upgrade to profes- sional ZBook performance with enterprise-level security, serviceability and manageability. With the ZBook Power G8, a premium design is accessible with pro-grade components, including graphics certified for the leading software applications. The Power G8 has extensive ISV certifications, as well as the HP Security Suite, and Tile device location. In addition to a stylish aluminum chas-
