Description

The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 Desktop is a powerful and reliable computing solution designed for professionals, small businesses, and home users who demand performance, scalability, and efficiency. Built with the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i3-13100 processor, this desktop delivers robust multitasking capabilities, fast processing speeds, and seamless performance for a wide range of applications.

Performance That Powers Productivity

At the heart of the HP Pro Tower 290 G9 lies the Intel Core i3-13100, a quad-core processor with eight threads, a base frequency of 3.4GHz, and a turbo boost up to 4.5GHz. This CPU is engineered to handle everyday computing tasks with ease, from document editing and web browsing to light content creation and data analysis. The processor’s 12MB L3 cache ensures quick access to frequently used data, reducing latency and improving overall responsiveness.

Complementing the processor is 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, which provides ample memory for multitasking and running multiple applications simultaneously. Whether you’re managing spreadsheets, attending virtual meetings, or editing photos, the system remains smooth and responsive.

Speed and Storage Efficiency

The inclusion of a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD revolutionizes data access and storage. Compared to traditional hard drives, NVMe SSDs offer significantly faster read/write speeds, resulting in quicker boot times, faster application launches, and improved overall system performance. With 1TB of storage, users have plenty of space for documents, media files, and software installations.

Visuals and Display

The desktop is paired with a 21.5-inch Full HD monitor, delivering crisp visuals and vibrant colors. Whether you’re working on presentations, watching videos, or browsing the web, the display ensures a comfortable and immersive viewing experience. The monitor supports HDMI and VGA inputs, allowing flexible connectivity with other devices.

Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 powers the visual output, providing reliable performance for everyday tasks, video playback, and light graphic work. While not designed for high-end gaming, the graphics solution is more than capable for business and home use.

Connectivity and Expansion

The HP Pro Tower 290 G9 is equipped with a comprehensive array of ports and connectivity options. It includes eight USB ports (four USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0), HDMI and VGA outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) for fast and stable internet access. Bluetooth support ensures seamless connection with wireless peripherals.

For users who require expansion, the system offers multiple internal slots including PCIe x16, PCIe x1, and M.2 slots for storage and wireless modules. This makes it easy to upgrade components as your needs evolve.

Security and Reliability

Security is a top priority for HP, and the Pro Tower 290 G9 includes features like TPM 2.0, BIOS-level protections, and optional intrusion sensors. These features help safeguard sensitive data and ensure system integrity, making the desktop suitable for business environments.

The system is housed in a compact and professional-looking chassis, measuring 15.54 x 30.30 x 33.73 cm and weighing just 4.7 kg. Its small footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained workspaces, while still offering the power and expandability of a full-sized tower.
