HP Pro Tower 290 G9 PCI Core i7-13700, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Keyboard and Mouse – A 16-Core Tower With Room to Grow
The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 PCI is a business tower desktop built around the 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700, a 16-core, 24-thread processor that boosts up to 5.2GHz with a 30MB L3 cache. That core count lets one machine run accounting systems, browser-based ERPs, video feeds and several Office files together without stalling. In addition, the tower ships with an HP 125 wired keyboard and mouse, so you only need to connect a monitor to start working.
Furthermore, the chassis is designed for upgrades over a long service life. A PCIe 4.0 x16 slot accepts a dedicated graphics card later, a free DIMM slot allows the 8GB DDR4-3200 RAM to grow, and 3.5-inch drive bays take extra hard drives for archives or recordings. Meanwhile, a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD keeps boot and load times short, and Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and TPM 2.0 cover connectivity and security. It ships with FreeDOS for your own licensed OS. As a result, it suits control rooms, design offices and busy SMEs from Industrial Area to Eldoret and Mombasa.

Who This Is Best Suited For
As a result of this combination of specs, three types of users benefit most:
- CCTV and security control rooms: The 16-core chip therefore handles multiple camera feeds, while spare HDD bays store recordings.
- Architecture and engineering offices: For example, the PCIe 4.0 x16 slot allows a graphics card upgrade for CAD and rendering work.
- SMEs running ERP and accounting systems: In addition, large ledgers, POS back-ends and many open apps stay responsive all day.
