Description
HP 290 G9 Microtower Bundle
The HP 290 G9 i5-13500 provides a scalable computing environment for enterprise workloads. This microtower configuration integrates the 13th Generation Intel Core processor to handle multi-threaded applications efficiently. The included 21.5-inch display offers a high-definition workspace for daily productivity tasks. This system utilizes the Intel B660 chipset to support high-speed data transfer across internal components. Users can manage complex spreadsheets or compile code without system latency.
Key Features
Processing Power
Intel Core i5-13500 with 14 cores and 20 threads for intensive multitasking.Memory and Storage
- 8GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM for efficient application handling
- 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD for rapid boot times
Connectivity Options
Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules for cable-free networking.Chassis Expansion
- Two DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB RAM
- PCIe x16 and PCIe x1 slots for hardware upgrades
The Intel Core i5-13500 processor utilizes a sophisticated hybrid architecture. This CPU contains six performance cores and eight efficient cores. Performance cores manage intensive front-end tasks. Efficient cores handle background processes to maintain system responsiveness. This distribution of labor optimizes power consumption and thermal output. The 24MB L3 cache further accelerates data access for frequently used instructions. Additionally, the motherboard includes specialized headers for cooling control.
The microtower design facilitates easy hardware upgrades. It includes eight USB ports for peripheral connectivity. The front panel features four SuperSpeed USB Type-A ports for rapid data access. The rear panel provides legacy support via VGA and HDMI 1.4b outputs. This ensures compatibility with both modern and older display hardware. Consequently, eye fatigue is reduced during long shifts when using the flicker-free display technology.
Security remains a priority for IT departments. This hardware includes a discrete Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. This chip provides hardware-based encryption keys to protect data. A physical security lock slot prevents unauthorized chassis removal. The BIOS provides protection against firmware-level attacks. System cooling is optimized for continuous operation. Internal fans maintain thermal stability during high CPU utilization. The power supply unit meets high-efficiency standards to reduce operational costs. This bundle ships with FreeDOS to allow IT managers to install their preferred operating system.

The HP 290 G9 is a decent workstation for the price. The i5-13500 is powerful, but I feel 8GB RAM is a bit tight if you open many browser tabs and heavy apps simultaneously. I might need to upgrade the RAM later, but otherwise, the 512GB SSD and the HP Series 3 monitor make it a very neat bundle for a professional desk.

The 13th Gen i5 processor is very fast for office work. We bought three of these bundles for our accounts department in Westlands and they handle Excel and accounting software without any lag. Good value since it comes with the 21.5-inch screen.

I like that it comes with WiFi built-in, saves us the trouble of running cables everywhere in the shop. The 21.5 inch display is the perfect size for our reception desk. Good service from the Litmus team.
Faith Atieno (verified owner) –
Happy with the purchase. The SSD makes booting very quick compared to our old desktops. The monitor clarity on the Series 3 is also quite good for the price. Delivery to Kisumu was fast and well-packaged.
