HP Pro Tower 290 G9 Core i5-13500, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, CPU Only (A54XGET) – A 14-Core Business Tower With Affordable Upgrades Built In
The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 (A54XGET) is a business tower desktop designed to keep the total cost of ownership low. It uses DDR4-3200 memory, which is widely available and generally cheaper than DDR5, so adding a second module to the free DIMM slot is a simple, budget-friendly upgrade. In addition, two 3.5-inch drive bays accept standard desktop hard drives, which offer large storage at a low cost per gigabyte for archives, scans and backups alongside the 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD.
At its core, the 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13500 runs 14 cores and 20 threads, boosts up to 4.8GHz and carries a 24MB L3 cache, so accounting software, browser-based ERPs and Office apps stay responsive. Furthermore, the tower includes Wi-Fi 6 (2×2), Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet and TPM 2.0, plus HDMI and VGA outputs for current and older monitors. It ships with FreeDOS, so organisations can install their own licensed operating system without paying for a second licence. As a result, it suits growing SMEs, schools and NGOs from Nairobi’s Industrial Area to Nakuru and Embu that want dependable performance on a careful budget.

Who This Is Best Suited For
As a result of this combination of specs, three types of users benefit most:
- Growing SMEs on a tight budget: DDR4 memory and standard 3.5″ drives therefore keep future upgrades affordable.
- Schools and NGOs with volume licences: For example, FreeDOS lets IT staff deploy their own licensed Windows image across many units.
- Offices storing scans and records locally: In addition, two 3.5″ bays add terabytes of archive space next to the fast SSD.
