What is the etiquette on posting literal company press releases? I'm not asking snarkily, but mean it as a serious question. I don't want to see an HN that's dominated by ads for the latest gadgets, but I understand that this is something of interest to hackers, and perhaps that criterion dominates all others.

Honestly, I felt a little dirty posting this, but I stumbled on it on some blog and thought of linking straight to the press release.

I just thought this was an interesting product. I am in no way affiliated with HP or have any financial incentive in sharing this link.

There are upvote/downvote buttons -- I'm unsure why any other criteria is needed.

Per the guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting." I think that rule should trump any other, regardless of source or topic.

So how much RAM could be stuffed in one of these?

Edit: The Z2 Mini supports Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, in addition to Xeon E3 processors. It also supports up to 32GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory, and the unit can be equipped with Nvidia Quadro M620 graphics with 2GB of memory.

Yeah, I think the same rules apply as for any other link.

(which the way I see it, as long as you aren't posting a torrent of boring HP links, it would even be fine if you worked at HP and posted the link, so long as it is interesting)
