Designed with a smaller chassis than the previous generation, the HP 290 G3 Microtower Desktop Computer from HP is a reliable, secure, and powerful system that’s scalable to grow with your business. It is powered by a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i3-8100  that will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If you need more power, the 8th-generation Kaby Lake CPU can achieve speeds up to 4.5 GHz. The 8GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM helps the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously, as well as access frequently-used files and programs. The current memory configuration is one 4GB module with an additional slot available for memory upgrades, making for a total of two 288-pin DIMM slots. With both slots in use, this system supports 64GB of RAM to keep up with the current demands of the latest software programs.

For long-term storage of your files, the 290 G3 is equipped with a 512 SSD 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5″ hard drive. If you want to connect with external storage drives or other peripherals, there are four USB 3.0 Type-A ports and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 chipset delivers a sharp, clear picture while allowing for a wide range of monitors to be used via its one DisplayPort and one VGA port outputs at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the Conexant CX20632 codec outputs high definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers.

The HP 290 G3 Microtower Desktop Computer includes an HP USB Business Slim keyboard, an HP USB optical mouse, a power cord, and recovery media that is located both on the system’s internal storage and on HP’s OS download site. It operates using a 180W power supply that runs at 90-264 VAC and 47-63 Hz, and the installed operating system is Windows 11 Pro (64-bit).
