HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 23,000, built around an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G quad-core processor, 8GB of DDR4 memory, and a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive. This HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF arrives as a carefully maintained international import, lightly used under controlled office conditions and never deployed locally in Kenya. The chassis measures 9.5 by 27 by 29.6 centimetres and weighs 4.53 kilogrammes, so the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF slides under a counter or sits beside a monitor. Collect it at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Accountants, SACCO clerks, private clinics, small design studios, and church or NGO administrators face the same arithmetic: a desktop budget under KSh 25,000 that still has to run Windows, Sage, QuickBooks, and a browser with fifteen tabs open. New machines at that price usually carry dual-core processors and 4GB of memory, and they start stalling within a year. The HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF was made as a corporate fleet desktop instead, so it begins with four cores, eight threads, and four memory slots. That headroom is the difference between a machine you replace in 2027 and one you upgrade.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International states the exact processor, drive type, and condition of every used unit before you pay anything. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the same thing about ex-corporate HP desktops: they outlast the cheap new towers they were bought to replace, because they were built for eight-hour daily duty cycles. The HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty and ships with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to switch one on before you commit to it.
Common Questions About the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF
Is the HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF worth KSh 23,000 in Kenya?
For office and study work, yes. At KSh 23,000 you get four cores, eight threads, and Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics in a business chassis that HP tested for 120,000 hours before release. New desktops sold in Nairobi at the same price typically ship with dual-core processors, 4GB of memory, and integrated graphics a generation weaker. The four DIMM slots and spare M.2 slot mean you can add memory and an SSD later rather than buying a whole second machine.
What is the difference between a used desktop and a refurbished one?
Used means the unit came off a corporate fleet, was tested, cleaned, and sold with its original parts intact. Refurbished means components were replaced, usually because something failed. Mascom International sells this 705 G4 as used, not refurbished: the processor, board, memory, and drive are the parts the machine left the office with. We test every unit before it reaches the shelf, and the 6-month warranty covers hardware function either way.
Can this desktop run QuickBooks, Sage, and heavy Excel files?
Yes. The Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G handles QuickBooks, Sage, Tally, and Excel workbooks with tens of thousands of rows without difficulty. Eight threads let an accountant keep the accounting package, Outlook, and a browser open simultaneously. The limit is the 8GB of memory, not the processor: once you pass roughly twenty browser tabs alongside a large workbook, Windows starts using the hard drive as overflow. Adding a second 8GB module clears that ceiling for about a quarter of the machine price.
Can I add an SSD and more memory later?
Yes, and this is the upgrade we recommend most. The 705 G4 SFF has one free M.2 2230/2280 slot for an NVMe SSD, plus three empty DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB in total. Fitting a 256GB NVMe SSD for Windows while keeping the 500GB hard drive for files cuts boot time from over a minute to under fifteen seconds. The enclosure opens without tools, so both upgrades take one visit to our Kimathi Street counter.
How does the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G compare with an Intel Core i5 desktop?
The Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G sits close to an eighth-generation Intel Core i5 in multi-threaded office work, and clearly ahead on graphics. Intel's UHD 630 integrated graphics handle displays and video playback; Radeon RX Vega 11 in this AMD chip does that and also runs light 3D, CAD viewing, and older games. For accounting, browsing, and document work the two feel similar. For anything touching graphics, the 705 G4 has the advantage at this price.
Does the price include a monitor, keyboard, and mouse?
The KSh 23,000 covers the system unit, its power cord, and the 6-month warranty card. A USB keyboard and optical mouse are supplied where stock allows, so confirm availability when ordering on +254 708 852 521. Monitors are sold separately and Mascom International stocks used and new panels from 19 to 27 inches. Note there is no HDMI port on the rear as standard: two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs are fitted, and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter costs little in Nairobi.
Can Radeon RX Vega 11 handle gaming or design work?
For lighter titles, yes. Radeon RX Vega 11 runs games like Dota 2, CS2, GTA V, and FIFA titles at 1080p with settings turned down, which suits cyber cafes and home use. It also handles Photoshop, CorelDRAW, AutoCAD viewing, and 1080p video editing. It will not run current AAA releases at high settings. The PCIe x16 slot accepts a low-profile graphics card up to the limits of the 180-watt supply if you need more later.
How does it cope with Kenyan power cuts and electricity bills?
The internal 180-watt supply reaches up to 92 percent efficiency with active power factor correction, and typical office workloads draw a fraction of that ceiling, so the KPLC bill stays modest. Desktops lose unsaved work during outages because there is no battery, so pair the 705 G4 with a small UPS if your area sees frequent cuts. Mascom International stocks UPS units at the Kimathi Street store and can supply both together.
Technical Specifications
Processor Architecture and Real-World Speed
- AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G runs four cores and eight threads, from 3.6GHz base up to 3.9GHz boost.
- Eight threads keep Excel, Chrome, and Sage responsive together, where older dual-core office desktops stall under the same load.
- The 65-watt chip carries 4MB of L3 cache, shortening the wait when large spreadsheets recalculate formulas.
- AMD B350 FCH chipset manages the SATA, USB, and PCIe lanes feeding storage, ports, and expansion cards.
- Cooling is sized for a 65-watt processor, so fan noise stays low during normal office and classroom use.
- The PRO designation adds business management and security features that consumer Ryzen chips of the same era omit.
Memory Configuration and Upgrade Headroom
- Fitted with 8GB of DDR4-2666 memory, enough for Windows plus a normal office workload of documents and tabs.
- Four DIMM slots accept up to 64GB in total, leaving three slots open for future expansion.
- Adding a second matching module enables dual-channel mode, which lifts integrated graphics speed in editing and light gaming.
- Full-size desktop DIMMs are cheap and widely stocked in Nairobi, unlike laptop memory that often needs ordering in.
- Memory runs at 2666 MT/s, matching what the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G controller supports natively.
Storage Capacity and Expansion Options
- The 500GB 7200rpm SATA drive holds roughly 100,000 office documents or 125,000 photographs at typical file sizes.
- One M.2 2230/2280 slot accepts an NVMe SSD, cutting Windows startup from over a minute to seconds.
- The 3.5-inch bay converts to carry two 2.5-inch drives when you want separate working and backup disks.
- A slim optical bay takes the HP 9.5mm DVD-Writer, still useful for offices archiving records to disc.
- HP Secure Erase wipes drives to the NIST 800-88 clear standard before a machine changes hands.
Graphics and Multi-Monitor Support
- Radeon RX Vega 11 shares system memory and handles 1080p video, layout work, and light 3D without a separate card.
- Two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs drive dual monitors, with a third screen possible through the configurable rear video port.
- Hardware decoding covers H.265 and H.264, so 4K video playback on a connected screen stays smooth.
- One PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and one PCIe x1 slot accept a low-profile graphics or capture card.
- DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters are inexpensive in Nairobi and connect this desktop to any standard HDMI monitor or television.
Ports and Everyday Connectivity
- Front panel carries two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and a headset connector.
- A front USB Type-C charging port serves phones and newer accessories without needing a separate wall adapter.
- Rear panel adds two USB 3.1 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports for printers, scanners, and keyboards.
- Realtek gigabit Ethernet holds a stable wired link to office routers and Safaricom, Zuku, or Faiba fibre boxes.
- A combined serial and PS/2 port still drives older receipt printers and point-of-sale hardware common in Kenyan retail.
- Wireless was a factory option on this chassis, so confirm per unit; a USB dongle adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cheaply.
Build Quality, Power and Cooling
- The internal 180-watt supply reaches up to 92 percent efficiency with active power factor correction.
- Office workloads sit far below that ceiling, so a modest UPS carries the machine through short KPLC outages.
- The tool-less lockable enclosure opens by hand, turning memory and drive upgrades into a five-minute job.
- Rated for 10 to 35 degrees Celsius operation, covering Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, and humid coastal Mombasa offices.
- At 4.53 kilogrammes and 9.5 centimetres thick, the case stands upright beside a monitor or lies flat beneath one.
Security Features and Data Protection
- A TPM 2.0 embedded security chip stores encryption keys, which BitLocker uses to protect client and patient records.
- HP Sure Start Gen4 restores the BIOS automatically if malware or corruption damages it.
- DriveLock passwords block access to the hard drive even when it is moved into another computer.
- BIOS settings disable individual USB or SATA ports, which helps in cyber cafes and shared school laboratories.
- Support for chassis padlocks and cable locks anchors the unit to a desk in open-plan offices.
