Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Dual Xeon E5-2687w V3 processors deliver 20 cores and 40 threads for heavy multi-threaded workloads
- 500GB NVMe plus 2TB HDD provides fast boot and application loading with ample bulk storage
- NVIDIA Quadro M5000 GPU handles complex 3D models and professional rendering
- HP Z840 chassis supports extensive future upgrades including memory, storage, and GPU
- Significant cost savings over buying equivalent new workstation hardware
👎 Cons
- Renewed condition means potential cosmetic wear and shorter remaining component lifespan
- The E5-2687w V3 is a Haswell-era processor, so single-thread performance lags behind current-generation CPUs
- 32GB RAM may need upgrading for very large SOLIDWORKS assemblies or simulation work
- Windows 10 is pre-installed rather than Windows 11, and this older hardware may not officially support Windows 11
- Workstation is physically large and heavy, requiring significant desk or rack space
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Renewed" mean for this HP Z840 workstation?
Renewed means the workstation has been inspected, tested, and restored to working condition by a qualified refurbisher. It may show minor cosmetic wear but is functionally equivalent to a new unit.
Can the 32GB of RAM in this Z840 be upgraded later?
Yes, the HP Z840 supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 ECC memory across its 24 DIMM slots, so 32GB is just a starting point and can be expanded significantly as your workload demands grow.
How does the dual Xeon E5-2687w V3 configuration perform in SOLIDWORKS?
The two 10-core processors provide 20 cores and 40 threads total at 3.1GHz base clock, which excels at multi-threaded tasks like rendering, simulation, and running background processes while modeling. SOLIDWORKS modeling itself is largely single-threaded, but the high base clock helps there as well.
Does this workstation come with a warranty?
Renewed products typically include a limited warranty from the refurbisher, though coverage varies by seller. Check the specific listing for warranty details before purchasing.
