From film to oil drilling to medicine, HP's workstations have their hands in a lot of pies -- and today, that expands more directly to yet another major industry: video games. With its Z1, Z820 and Z620 workstations, HP is collaborating with Epic Games, Autodesk, and ALT Systems to create what they're calling a "turnkey solution" to game development workstation woes. The three aforementioned units can be customized to arrive with a variety of variables, including Unreal Engine 4, Autodesk, and NVIDIA GTX-line GPUs.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">In so many words, ALT Systems will take the disparate pieces of hardware and software from HP, NVIDIA, Autodesk and Epic Games to provide an all-in-one buying solution for game dev studios. As ALT Systems president Jon Guess laughingly explained, it provides clients "one neck to wring" should things go wrong, rather than dev studios having to suss out hardware issues on their own. The first fruits of the partnership arrive this year in game developer-centric versions of the aforementioned three workstation models. For a full rundown of the various workstation configurations that'll arrive this year, ALT Systems has a site set up just for you.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="531" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/z620-workstation.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="455" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/z820-workstation-dualscreen.jpg" width="640" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div></div>

HP web store leaks 14-inch Chromebook Pavilion, to be unveiled on February 17

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="HP crafting 14inch Chromebook Pavilion, to be unveiled on February 17" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/hppavilion620x340cbook2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Hewlett-Packard didn't have the best 2012, but that's not stopping the US company from getting on the Chromebook bandwagon. The HP Chromebook Pavilion was spotted by <em>Slashgear</em> on HP's own web store, despite the additional information section noting a February 17 "ad embargo" on the information. The little 14-inch Chromebook runs Google's eponymous OS with an Intel Celeron 847 CPU clocked at 1.1GHz, an Intel HD GPU, 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM (expandable up to 4GB), and 16GB of SSD storage space, put to use on the 14-inch HD BrightView LED-backlit display (1366 x 768 resolution). A trio of old-school USB 2.0 slots an HDMI out, and an ethernet jack make up the lion's share of ports, while an SD card slot adds expandable storage options. The 2.55Ah lithium-ion battery included will last up to (approximately) four hours and 15 minutes, though we'd like to put that to the test ourselves before trusting the specs sheet. Of course, it looks like it won't be too long before we hear more and get our hands on the device, given that Feb. 17th date.</div></div>
