Remember the days of sitting in the park on a Saturday afternoon, sketchbook in hand, shuffling between pencils as you shaded in a tree or secretly hashed out a figure drawing of the person reading on the bench next to you?

Now that you’ve graduated from art school and are living the dream as a pro digital artist, you need tools that won’t hamper your creative flow. Sketchbooks are a great starting point, but translating that killer sketch to a digital version is a time-consuming pain. Creating with the right digital tool can be just as satisfying — and a lot more convenient. 

Freestyle

Award-winning artist Orlando Arocena explores pop culture and iconography in his work, which has been commissioned by Adobe. An ambassador for the HP ZBook x2, Arocena prefers the portability of a detachable tablet over a laptop — without sacrificing processing power. 

The new HP ZBook x2 is the world’s most powerful detachable PC, powered by the latest quad core Intel® Core™ i7 Processors and Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. The NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics give you real-time visualization of multi-layered artwork and seriously push the limits of your Adobe Cloud apps.

Arocena’s favorite feature is the ability to configure the ZBook the way he likes it, with the keyboard detached, so he can comfortably sketch with the ZBook’s Wacom EMR pen. With 4,096 pressure-sensitive levels and zero latency, Arocena says the stylus is “practically an extension of my hand.” It’s fluid, accurate, and precise. 

The ZBook has four different modes — laptop, detached, tablet, and docked — so you have the freedom to go from laptop to tablet whenever, and wherever, inspiration strikes. It also has a matte anti-glare touchscreen for a paper-like traction feel that lets you see every shade of your work — perfect for sketching in the park.

One billion colors

The ZBook outdoes your old-school sketching in another area, too: color choices. The ZBook x2 DreamColor display is the world’s most advanced detachable PC display. You’re working with one billion colors on a stunning 10-bit, 100 percent Adobe RGB, 4K multi-touch UHD display. At your desk or under a tree — the anti-glare touchscreen adjusts to any lighting conditions.

From power to pixels, the HP ZBook x2 is redefining what’s possible for digital artists. Check out HP’s Changemaker series for a look into Arocena’s creative process and to get inspired by how he uses the HP ZBook x2 to provoke spontaneity.
