HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1i i7 14th Gen Price in Kenya

HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1i E Desktop PC | Intel Core i7-14700 | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD

The Official Successor to the HP 290 G9. The HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1i represents a major leap in business computing. As HP phases out the legendary 290 G9 series, the G1i takes its place as the primary high-performance workstation for Kenyan enterprises. HP is rebranding its entry-level and mid-range “Pro” series desktops under the “G1i” (Intel) and “G1a” (AMD) naming convention. This shift aligns with their transition to AI-ready PCs, moving away from the older numeric “290” branding.

While the 290 G9 relied on older DDR4 technology, the ProDesk 2 G1i is built on the cutting-edge DDR5 architecture. This ensures your business is ready for the AI-driven software of 2026. Whether you are upgrading an entire office in Nairobi or setting up a high-speed workstation at the coast, the G1i offers the longevity and speed that the older G9 series simply cannot match.
