HP ProDesk 4 G1i
The Intel Core Ultra 5 235T chip with its dedicated NPU brings local AI processing to a 1.20kg chassis, while 16GB of upgradeable DDR5 RAM handles multitasking in a space barely larger than a book. Its single-cable power and display connectivity, combined with Wi-Fi 6E and a secondary empty M.2 slot, make for a remarkably clean and expandable desk setup. This mini PC is best for office workers and IT administrators who need a compact, vPro-manageable Windows 11 Pro machine for data analysis and productivity suites, not graphics work.
