HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH PC arrives now at Mascom International for KSh 72,000, configured with a 12th Generation Intel Core i3-1215U processor, 8GB DDR4-3200 memory, a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics, and a 23.8-inch Full HD display, all wrapped in a jet black single-unit chassis. The unit ships brand new and sealed at our Old Mutual Building location, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. FreeDOS comes pre-installed, leaving you free to add Windows 11 or any operating system your workflow needs without paying for software you may not want.
This HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NHsuits home offices in Kileleshwa, Lavington, and South B, university students at Strathmore, Daystar, and USIU who need a permanent desk setup, small accounting practices in Westlands, school computer labs across Nakuru and Eldoret, and reception desks at clinics, salons, and law firms throughout Nairobi. The single-cable design replaces the usual desktop tower, monitor, keyboard cables, and speaker wires with one tidy unit, freeing roughly 60% of typical desk footprint for paperwork, files, and customer-facing surface space.
At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand from buyers replacing aging tower PCs with cleaner all-in-one builds that still carry dedicated graphics. The HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH stands apart from cheaper integrated-only competitors at this price point because the NVIDIA MX450 handles photo editing, basic video work, and dual-screen extension that integrated chips cannot match. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test the display, type on the included keyboard, and confirm the build quality before paying. Countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery reaches every county within 1 to 3 business days.
Common Questions Buyers Ask About the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH
What kind of work is the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH built for at this KSh 72,000 price?
The HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH handles office productivity, accounting software, web-based work, online classes, video calls, and light creative tasks comfortably. The Intel Core i3-1215U boosts to 4.4 GHz across 6 cores and 8 threads, which moves QuickBooks Online, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Sage, and standard browser workloads without lag. The 8GB DDR4-3200 RAM keeps 15 to 20 Chrome tabs open alongside Word, Excel, and a Zoom call running together. Photo editing in Lightroom or simple video trimming in DaVinci Resolve works on the NVIDIA MX450, though heavy 4K timelines need a stronger machine.
How does the FreeDOS operating system affect what I get out of the box?
FreeDOS ships preloaded on the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH instead of Windows, which keeps the purchase price about KSh 18,000 to KSh 25,000 lower than the same hardware with a Windows license. The unit will boot to a basic command prompt on first power-on, after which you install your preferred operating system. Most Kenyan buyers add Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro using a license key, while schools and developers sometimes install Ubuntu Linux for free. Mascom International can guide you to a genuine Windows 11 license source if you need one.
Is the dedicated NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics card actually useful at this level?
Yes, the NVIDIA GeForce MX450 with 2GB dedicated VRAM noticeably outperforms integrated Intel UHD Graphics for photo editing, video playback at 4K resolution, dual external monitor setups, and light gaming at 1080p low to medium settings. Adobe Lightroom catalog work, Photoshop layer manipulation, and Premiere Rush video editing all run smoother with the MX450 handling graphics tasks separately from the CPU. For office accountants exporting large Excel charts or designers producing social media graphics, the dedicated GPU shortens render and preview times by 30 to 45 percent compared to integrated-only desktops.
Will the 23.8-inch Full HD display work well for daily eight-hour office use?
The 23.8-inch Full HD display at 1920 by 1080 resolution provides comfortable viewing distance for desk-based work at standard 60 to 75 centimeter seating positions. Anti-glare coating cuts reflection from Kenya's bright office lighting and from afternoon sunlight entering through windows. The 250 nits brightness rating handles indoor office environments well, though you should position the unit away from direct sun-facing windows to avoid washout. Text rendering stays crisp for spreadsheet rows, document editing, and email work across full workdays without straining your eyes.
Can the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH handle online learning for university students in Kenya?
Online learning runs comfortably on the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH. The HP Wide Vision 1080p IR camera produces clear video for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams classes at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, JKUAT, Egerton, and Moi University. The IR camera supports Windows Hello face login once Windows is installed, which removes password typing during quick class joins. Built-in dual 2W speakers handle lecture audio adequately for solo study, though students attending group sessions or watching tutorial videos benefit from adding KSh 2,500 to KSh 5,000 external speakers or a basic headset.
How much storage and memory work does 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD handle for a typical office user?
The 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD stores roughly 100,000 standard office documents, 150,000 high-resolution photos at 3MB each, or 80 hours of 1080p video footage with comfortable headroom for the operating system and installed applications. 8GB DDR4-3200 RAM suits single-user office workflows running 15 to 20 browser tabs, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a video meeting concurrently without slowdown. Heavy multitaskers running Photoshop alongside 30+ browser tabs, virtual machines, or large CAD files should plan a memory upgrade to 16GB later, since the unit accepts dual SO-DIMM slots.
What connectivity does the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH offer for peripherals and networking?
The HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH carries multiple USB ports for keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, external drives, and SD card readers, plus HDMI output for adding a second monitor to extend your workspace. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) connects to Safaricom Home 5G routers, Faiba fibre routers, and JTL Faiba 4G modems at the dual-band 5GHz speeds most Nairobi homes and offices already run. Bluetooth 5.0 pairs wireless keyboards, mice, headphones, and phones for quick file transfers. Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) gives wired connection for offices preferring stable cabled internet over Wi-Fi.
Why buy this HP All-in-One from Mascom International rather than other Nairobi retailers?
Mascom International stocks the HP All-in-One 24-CB1287NH at KSh 72,000 with countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery, which removes the financial risk that prepayment-only retailers force on customers. You inspect the unit, power it on, confirm the display works, verify no shipping damage, and only then hand over payment. Our Kimathi Street store gives you the option to walk in, test the machine for 15 to 20 minutes, and assess build quality before buying. Mascom International backs every HP desktop with a 12-month warranty serviced directly from our Nairobi CBD service desk.
