Rosie tackles the new HP Z800

[janozer]

yeah, probably broke a bunch of rules there, but fortunately, the computer survived. Thanks for watching.

[meggittd]

Very clever that working on a computer on a carpet risking static build up , no anti static wrist strap when removing major computer components HD and Power supply, that computer will be lucky if it works 6 months from now. Static discharge damage isnt always fatal immeditalty but it damages components over time. I think this video should be renamed How not to open a computer!!

[nipponchemicon]

@meggittd You're saying you need an anti-static wristband to remove a Powersupply? Are you fucking stupid?

[NewOrleansboii]

When I was 8, all I care about was the new G.I Joe action figure and transformer animals. And playing Pokemon cards at the Toys R Us Poke Tornam

[CMonte420]

What's funny is, she took out 3 components. That machine has MUCH more to it than you see in this video. I service these machines 12 hours per day. This video is very misleading.

[DisDwarf]

All PC/workstation cases should be like this.

[Fokysnik2]

Ah, and one more thing. After all this modifications (see previous post), my $10.000 "Super Computer" was running SIX times slower then before.

[Fokysnik2]

I am so glad that you've had such a great experience with Z800. I, however, did not. It was brilliant 'out of the box', troubles started when I tried to Upgrade it. Second CPU, bigger SSD C: drive, extra 12gig of RAM.

Long story short, HP is absolute GARBAGE when it comes to a customer service, and I run small business, speed of service is just as important (if not more) as a speed of my work PC.

I am thinking to go Mac Pro.

[waleed10101]

i am going to play super mario on it :D

[MiniExtreme]

Not the fastest pc in the world

[WMPDrulz]

MAC PRO IS BETTER

[mswindowsinside]

why'd a 8 year old girl wanna do this? what a bullshit

[pumpuppthevolume]

hehe awesome demo all PCs should be designed like this and btw this is not really A PC <<<< ITS A WORKSTATION

[ZedPhoton]

@lovemaker94 Hehe, did not imply so either ;) Will do :)

[ZedPhoton]

@lovemaker94 I run one right now....Though a GTX480 not a FX card... OCZ Revodrive SSD.

The 32GB of Memory mine has installed allows for alot of programs open at the same time. And allowing them to run properly with Dual E5506 Xeon's... Though they should be a little faster than my clock setting 2.13GHz Sometimes things can be "sluggish". Depends on the load.

Though you are not a geek if you have good hardware. You are a geek if you are especially interested in something particular :)

[theeclownbro]

That nvidia 5800 looks sexy, i want a zhp

[myaccount140]

Lol i wonder what happends when I upload my video of me building a laptop from scratch at 9 years old =D (1 hour) =P

[bmw2go11]

It only takes like 5 steps to take apart some of the major components

If it was a complete tear down.. she would get lost quick.

Awesome for a 8 year old to even know this much about computers, when i was 8 i messed with programming, but that's another story.. :p

[highlypraised1]

she is one cute kid .....May god bless her

[pBBeN]

why did you cut at the booting test? guess it didnt boot...this would explain the high fan noise

[djspecialpaul]

WATTT --> She is 8 (EIGHT) an have a HP Z800 a workstation it costs about 5000 bugs ;).

[alin0steglinski0]

@djspecialpaul I WANT A Z800!!!

[bdbailydown]

whats a cowling?

[Drewrob26]

taking it apart would include removing all the components lol! Great for an 6 y/o though!

[cantroos]

she's clearly not 8, she looks like she's probably in her early 20's. Hardly convincing marketing idiots...

[janozer]

@cantroos well actually she is 11 now, but at the time she was definitely 8!

[janozer]

@cantroos well actually she is 11 now, but at the time she was definitely 8! Her birthday was last week.

[katieintothelight]

I work at HP. I think we need to send her out on sales calls. Is she available? :)

[Atreyuholm]

Why would you let a kid play with a Z800?? Those are like $5,000+ computers.

[suzuki834]

i like how there all things

[drwhat100]

no ofense this is little wierd! 

[JOAQUINCHW]

jajajajjaaj...q niña...esas pcs estan mas caras y ella lo trata como juegete.jajajajja

[Tepicoelano2]

this is not very flexible for upgrades . the extra components and panels dont make the computer faster it just looks better if you ever want to upgrade something in the computer it might not fit so getting this its not that good of an idea its almost like a mac the first things i would do i were to make this computer again was take out all that useless plastic panels

[Tepicoelano2]

[DjViOd]

This girl a it-professional!

[janozer]

@TheOriginalNoseBleed

good thought, but no worries about that with this child. She's non-stop, inside/outside, every day, and spends very little of it taking apart computers.

thanks for weighing in.

[Mj82096]

wow even little kids start to reviewing

[bazzeil]

wow, thats terrible for field servicing! all that extra jazz, and then the specialized power supply and hdd mounts??? its like servicing a laptop! and how would you upgrade? this would only benefit hp. (fyi, you dont disconnect the power from the desktop, you plug it into a power strip and turn the strip off so you still get ground)

[shaocaholica]

@bazzeil Tooless field servicing, whats wrong with that? It comes with all the brackets you need. All the empty bays are ready to take drives without having to buy a bracket. Think of how hard it is to swap a traditional power supply vs the HP. I wish more standard PCs used tooless designs like this.

[Coilaman]

Rosie rocks every day. I love her performance here.

[Febbre46OnlyForRossi]

masterpiece of engineering.

[CassiveBrewster]

That machine is quite ugly. The Mac Pro looks much prettier, is that HP thing more powerful?

[swampy1982]

@CassiveBrewster Well, it more more powerful than SOME MacPros, it all depends on what youre willing to pay. Me personally I think it looke better than the MacPro.

[swampy1982]

@CassiveBrewster

[ilikeloling1]

@CassiveBrewster and that is all the mac pro is good for. looking prettier. gg mac

[Hshin]

Put this 9 year old on a spaceship, and she can even troubleshoot your HAL 9000 computer.

[someonegetsteve]

HP spokeswoman of the future

[BOMBOVA]

Rosie "the this thing back in " is a Hard drive.  Thank you for showing the modularity of the Z800, I need a computer of this power for my financial trading. I need one of those big monitors also . Lovely smile Rosie, say hi to Mon and Dad. Cheers From Vancouver Canada

[oliebol61]

You are like me :D

[Dariuszdavi]

you people do know this is one of the worst cases ever made. It lacks simple thins a computer chassis should have.

$1500 for this piece of junk.... Ill use it for a foot rest. >)

[bugilowen]

I actually had no problem with that. I do have a slightly different version. Because I don't have the slot-loader dvd-rw drive.

[bugilowen]

Uuuh, something went when she turned the unit on. It (the fans) should only make some noise for a second.

[javimahai]

LOL indeed...

[ihatetwitter]

there is a small screw to open front panel of cd drive and you need a cage to insert dvd and 5th hdd

[undermined]

I guess you got no problems sitting on carpet while pulling computer parts in and out of the case?

you might as well have left the power cord plugged in because your are gonna cause static, but then again what do I expect if you got a extra workstation laying around for a kid to play with you probably don't care.

Still she is smarter than some pc techs I've worked with, probably noone bothered to explain to her that static and electronics don't mix well.

[Matz20Rios]

really sweet! i want to get my hands on one of those,.haha

[JBspInZ]

thats no personal computer, its a workstation

and that girl isnt 8 shes obviously a disguised spokesperson from HP

[ultimateearner]

what video card is that?

[ravemoyers]

nvidia Quadro!!!!!

[d3tach3d]

very smart girl.

[janozer]

thanks. we're kinda partial to her ourselves.

[csdinc]

kudo's on raising a future engineer!

[janozer]

One can only hope!

Thanks.

Jan

[Reqrezentin]

She isn't eight! She is like 10

[janozer]

turned 9 May 9, 2009! She's thrilled that you think she's older, though.

[Reqrezentin]

Wow.

[Reqrezentin]

The intro looks like it was made in a 80s TV station.

[rgribbs]

awesome!

[peixotodavi]

rosie call your dad to boot the super hp computer lol

[smidge0r]

We recently got our hands on an early evaluation model of the Z800 and its f... amazing. The performance is not comparable to any other ws out there. Tested with Catia, Siemens NX and a bunch of other software. Dont forget to apply HPs performance tuning framework prior to testing.

[djnoman88]

how long it took to boot up for real.

[comphy]

Is has an SSD drive as an "Option" if you so choose when you order it.

[jen96ttu]

love it! So easy, even an elementary school student can take it apart! green touch points just like a copier.

[SonPedroe]

should have had an SSD drive for faster boot.

[xujiale]

wow, the booting up is really slow huh...
