The HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 with an Intel Core 5 120U processor, 8GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD is available at Mascom International for KSh 116,500. This unit is brand new and sealed, and it ships with FreeDOS, so you install the operating system your office already licenses. The 14-inch WUXGA screen shows 1920 x 1200 pixels on an anti-glare IPS panel with narrow bezels. Stock sits at our shop on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Walk in, open the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 on the counter and type on it before you pay.
Built for SME office staff and NGO field staff across Kenya, the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 handles the daily load of spreadsheets, email, donor reports and video calls. Small offices in Industrial Area and Westlands often share one printer, one wired router and a cramped desk. This model's two USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and RJ-45 Ethernet plug into that setup without dongles. Field officers based in Kisumu or Turkana face a different problem: dusty site visits and long days away from a socket. The aluminium body, spill-resistant keyboard and 56Wh battery cover both jobs in one 14-inch bag.
Where many Nairobi electronics shops push consumer laptops onto office buyers, Mascom International stocks business-line machines like the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 and explains the trade-offs honestly. At Mascom International, we're seeing small firms and NGOs replace ageing machines in batches, and they pick this model for its metal shell and fingerprint login. Customers across Nairobi tell us the anti-glare screen makes long afternoons on budgets easier on the eyes. If your team needs more memory, the 16GB HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 sits KSh 10,000 higher.

Common Questions About the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14
How much is the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 Core 5 120U 8GB in Kenya?
The HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 with Intel Core 5 120U, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD costs KSh 116,500, brand new, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the laptop, its power adapter and cord, a 12-month warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. It runs FreeDOS, so a Windows licence is extra. The 16GB version costs KSh 126,500, and the Intel Core 7 150U version with 8GB costs KSh 138,500.
Should a small office buy the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 or the HP 250R G10 Core 3 100U?
The HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 costs KSh 46,500 more than the HP 250R G10 Core 3 100U at KSh 70,000, and the extra buys a faster chip, newer memory and a metal body. The 250R G10 uses a Core 3 100U with DDR4 memory on a 15.6-inch FHD screen. This ProBook uses a 10-core Core 5 120U, DDR5-5600 memory, a taller 14-inch WUXGA panel, a fingerprint sensor and aluminium. Pick the 250R G10 for receptionists on a tight budget; pick the ProBook for staff who travel or keep machines for years.
How does the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 cope with KPLC power cuts and dusty field trips?
The HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 carries a 56Wh three-cell battery, so a KPLC outage does not end your working day mid-report. It charges through its power adapter, and the USB-C ports also make it easier to share a power bank or dock in the office. For field work, the aluminium shell resists flex in a backpack on rough roads, and the spill-resistant keyboard forgives a knocked-over cup of tea. Wipe the vents after dusty trips to keep the fan clear.
Who should buy the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 with 8GB, and who should skip it?
The HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 8GB suits office staff who live in Word, Excel, Outlook, a browser and Teams or Zoom. NGO field officers who type reports and upload data will find it comfortable. Skip it if you run heavy multitasking, large legal bundles or dozens of browser tabs at once; the 16GB version at KSh 126,500 is the better fit. Gamers and video editors should look at a machine with dedicated graphics, such as the HP Victus 15 at KSh 116,000, sold refurbished.
Can the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 run Excel, Zoom and KoboToolbox for NGO work?
Yes, the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 runs Microsoft 365, Zoom, Google Meet and browser-based data tools like KoboToolbox without strain. The Intel Core 5 120U has 10 cores and 12 threads, so a video call and a spreadsheet can run side by side. The Full HD webcam and two built-in microphones help on donor calls. Wi-Fi 6E connects to newer routers, and Ethernet takes over when the office Wi-Fi in Upper Hill or Kilimani gets crowded at midday.
Is 8GB of RAM on the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 enough for an office job?
For standard office work, 8GB of DDR5-5600 on the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 is enough. It keeps email, a few documents, an accounting package and a handful of browser tabs open together. Things slow down once you stack many heavy tabs, big spreadsheets and a video call at the same time. The machine has two SO-DIMM memory slots, so a second stick can be added later if your work grows, instead of replacing the whole laptop.
Does the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 come with Windows installed?
No, the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 ships with FreeDOS, a basic placeholder system, not Windows. That keeps the price lower for companies and NGOs that already hold volume licences or prefer Linux. Most buyers install Windows 11 Pro for its domain, encryption and remote-desktop tools. Genuine Windows keys are sold separately at Mascom International, and our team can explain the options when you collect the laptop from Kimathi Street.
Can I connect the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 to a projector and the office network?
Yes, the HP ProBook 4 G1iR 14 has a full-size HDMI 2.1 port for projectors and boardroom screens, plus two USB Type-C ports that carry DisplayPort 1.4 video. Two USB Type-A ports take mice, flash drives and receipt printers. A built-in RJ-45 port connects straight to a wired office network, which matters where Wi-Fi is patchy. A headphone and microphone combo jack covers wired headsets for calls.
Technical Specifications
Processor
- Intel Core 5 120U from Intel's Core Series 1 range — a 10-core, 12-thread chip designed for business notebooks.
- Boost speed up to 5.0 GHz — short bursts of speed when opening files or switching between busy apps.
- 12MB of cache — a fast memory store on the chip that keeps frequently used data close at hand.
- U-series low-power design — runs cool and quiet on a desk, suited to long office days.
- 12 threads — enough parallel work for a video call, antivirus scan and spreadsheet running together.
Memory
- 8GB DDR5-5600 RAM — current-generation memory that moves data faster than older DDR4 laptops.
- Keeps email, documents, an accounting app and several browser tabs open without constant reloading.
- Two SO-DIMM slots — standard laptop memory sockets, so capacity can be raised later instead of replacing the laptop.
- 5600 MT/s speed — the rate memory transfers data, which helps integrated graphics and everyday response.
- Suited to single-task office roles; heavy multitaskers should look at the 16GB version.
Storage
- 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD — a solid-state drive with no moving parts, so it boots in seconds.
- Space for about 150,000 phone photos or roughly 60 hours of 1080p video recordings.
- Holds years of Word, Excel and PDF files plus large email archives for most office staff.
- NVMe interface — a direct, high-speed link to the processor that makes file searches and app launches quick.
- No spinning disk, so bumps on a boda boda ride to a site pose less risk to your data.
Display
- 14-inch WUXGA IPS panel at 1920 x 1200 pixels — sharp text for reports and spreadsheets.
- 16:10 shape — taller than a standard widescreen, so more rows of a spreadsheet fit on screen.
- Anti-glare coating — cuts reflections from office lights and windows on sunny Nairobi afternoons.
- UWVA wide viewing angles — colours hold steady when a colleague looks from the side.
- Narrow bezels and 300-nit brightness — a compact frame with enough light for indoor work.
Graphics
- Intel Graphics, integrated into the processor — no separate graphics card drawing extra power.
- Handles Full HD video calls, presentations, YouTube training videos and photo touch-ups comfortably.
- Drives external screens through HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4 for a second monitor.
- Shares system memory, so the DDR5-5600 speed directly helps on-screen responsiveness.
- Not built for 3D gaming or heavy video editing; choose a dedicated-graphics laptop for that.
Battery
- 56Wh three-cell lithium polymer battery — a capacity that carries a typical office day of documents and email.
- Low-power U-series chip stretches each charge further than performance-class processors.
- Keeps working through short KPLC outages, so unsaved reports are not lost.
- Charges through the included HP power adapter and cord, which plugs into standard Kenyan wall sockets.
- USB-C ports add flexibility for docks used in shared offices.
Build and Ports
- Pike silver aluminium chassis — a metal body that resists flex better than plastic shells.
- 2 USB Type-C, 2 USB Type-A, 1 HDMI 2.1, 1 RJ-45 Ethernet and 1 headphone and microphone combo jack.
- Fingerprint sensor — one-touch sign-in that keeps office files private.
- Spill-resistant keyboard, with an optional backlit DuraKeys version — confirm on WhatsApp whether your unit has the backlight.
- Full HD webcam, dual microphones, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for calls and wireless accessories.
