In the fourth quarter of 2024, the workstation market posted another encouraging Goldilocks quarter—neither too hot nor too cool, but just about right. Year over year, unit shipments grew around 7.7% (and 4.8% sequentially). “If we were to set aside the atypical, pandemic-inflated shipments of mid-2021 to mid-2022, Q4’24’s shipments set a new high-water mark for workstations,” explained Senior Analyst and JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera.

Mobile workstations have become essential for computing professionals, evolving significantly since their early 2000s introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with a shift from deskside to portable setups, fueled their recent growth. HP’s ZBook G11 lineup exemplifies today’s mobile workstation standards, with models like the ZBook Fury, Power, and Studio.

The competitive landscape in workstations is stronger than it’s been in nearly two decades.

Nvidia and AMD are again rolling out another generation of professional GPUs into the market in near lockstep. Nvidia’s latest Ada Generation GPU has led to two ultra-high-end products for fixed/deskside workstations: the RTX 5000 Ada and RTX 6000 Ada GPUs (not to mention GPU modules for mobile workstations). AMD countered with the Radeon Pro W7900 and W7800. Selling for $2,000-plus, all four offerings are too rich for most workstation users.
