For many years we have built and designed desktop and portable workstations for editing professionals. With the introduction of new software and hardware technologies in mind we have revamped our range to deliver the best value workstations without compromising on the performance. All solar Systems arrive pre-configured and before dispatch are put through their paces by our experienced Planet engineers. You can even expect a courtesy call from a Planet engineer once the system is on the work bench to make sure the system is tested with your workflow.

Our Windows 7 based Solar System Xpress workstation's are 64Bit and built on the powerful, sleek and sturdy HP EliteBook 8740w.

Complete with Nvidia Quadro 3800M graphics card, 8GB of RAM and a stunning 17” WUXGA screen makes the Solar System Xpress the perfect mobile workstation. As with our Desktop Solar Systems there are a variety of compatible video I/O upgrades available.
