Reviewer score 73%Despite its miniature size and Core i7 chip, the Z2 Mini G5 holds its own in these tests. It posted the second-best Photoshop time, and beat the Xeon processor in the Lenovo ThinkStation P520. Its non-discounted price tag may give you pause, but the cost is reasonable for what it offers.
