HP ProDesk 4 Mini G1i AI PC Ultra 5 235T 16GB 512GB SSD WiFi 6E Win 11 Pro

Key Benefits

• Intel Core Ultra 5 235T processor — Fourteen cores reaching up to 5.0 GHz, backed by 24MB of cache. This is a current-generation desktop chip, not a recycled laptop part, and it is a generational leap beyond the Core i5 machines most offices are still running.
• Dedicated AI engine on board — An Intel AI Boost neural processing unit rated at 13 TOPS handles AI workloads on the machine itself. Background blur, live captions, noise suppression and local AI assistants run without shipping your data to a cloud service or stealing cycles from the processor.
• 16GB DDR5-5600 memory — Fast current-standard memory with real headroom for heavy multitasking. Only one of the two SODIMM slots is occupied, so it expands to 64GB without discarding what is already fitted.
• 512GB NVMe solid state drive — PCIe NVMe storage, several times quicker than the SATA drives found in older business desktops. Boot, login and file access are close to instant.
• Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 — Access to the clean 6GHz band alongside gigabit wired Ethernet, so it works properly wherever you put it rather than being tethered to a network point.
• Three displays from one litre — Two DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and HDMI 2.1 drive a three-monitor setup from a chassis roughly the size of a hardback book, which can be mounted out of sight behind a screen.

Performance in Use

The ProDesk 4 Mini G1i sits in HP's commercial range, specified for corporate fleet deployment rather than the consumer shelf. The Core Ultra 5 235T inside it is a genuinely modern processor: fourteen cores split between performance and efficiency duties, peaking at 5.0 GHz when a task demands it and dropping back to the efficient cores for everything else. In practice that means a machine that stays quiet and cool through an ordinary working day, then has substantial reserves when you throw a large spreadsheet, a heavy browser session or a video call on top.

The part that separates this generation from everything before it is the neural processing unit. Rated at 13 TOPS, it takes on the AI work that used to hammer the processor — camera background effects, live transcription, noise removal on calls, and the growing set of assistant features being built into Windows and the applications that run on it. Because that work happens on the machine, it is quicker, it keeps running when the connection drops, and the data does not leave the building. For anyone weighing up how long a desktop bought today will stay useful, on-device AI capability is the specification that will matter most over the next few years.

Around that sits the rest of a properly modern platform: 16GB of DDR5-5600 memory with a free slot for a second stick, a 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, gigabit Ethernet and TPM 2.0 for BitLocker and Windows 11 security requirements. Six USB ports include a 20Gbps Type-C connector on the front for fast external storage or a single-cable dock. The whole thing occupies about a litre of space and can be bracketed to the back of a monitor, which makes it a natural fit for reception counters, clinical rooms, hot desks, point-of-sale positions and any desk where a tower is simply more furniture than the job needs.

FAQ

Is Windows 11 Pro included and activated?

Yes. The machine ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and activated against its own licence, so it is ready to use on arrival with domain join, BitLocker, Group Policy and Remote Desktop host all available. There is no separate licence to buy.

What does the "AI PC" label actually mean here?

It means there is a dedicated neural processing unit on the chip — Intel AI Boost, rated at 13 TOPS — that runs AI tasks locally instead of sending them to a server. In day-to-day use that covers camera background effects, live captions and transcription, call noise suppression and on-device assistant features. Worth knowing: Microsoft's Copilot+ badge requires a 40 TOPS or faster NPU, so this machine runs local AI features well but is not a Copilot+ certified PC.

How many monitors can it drive?

Three. There are two DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and one HDMI 2.1 output on the rear, all driven by the integrated Intel graphics, which covers the large majority of multi-screen office setups without any additional hardware.

Can I add more memory or a bigger drive later?

Yes. The 16GB is fitted as a single DDR5 SODIMM with the second slot free, so you can go to 32GB by adding a matching stick or up to 64GB in total. The M.2 NVMe SSD can also be swapped for a larger drive if you need more capacity.

Can it be mounted behind a monitor?

Yes — the chassis is designed for it and is a common choice for keeping desks clear. A VESA mounting bracket is not included in this listing, but they are inexpensive and readily available.

Does it include a monitor, keyboard or mouse?

No — the mini desktop and its 90W power adapter are supplied. Peripherals are sold separately, and we usually have refurbished monitors and accessories in stock.

What shipping options are available?

Free standard shipping anywhere in Australia is included with this machine.
