But HP’s new Z2 Mini G1a, shown off at a pre-CES presentation, caught my attention in a big way. It’s a mini desktop PC with some of the most powerful parts available. First, the chassis.

The OmniStudio X ($1,450 to start) is HP's newest line of all-in-one desktops ... If you're willing to consider mini PCs instead of only AIO desktops, AtomMan has two very interesting competitors.
