HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1a — Ryzen 7 8700G Business Tower, FreeDOS
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G16 GB DDR5512 GB NVMe SSDFreeDOS
The HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1a E (B70XWAT) is a business tower desktop built around the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, an 8-core, 16-thread processor with integrated Radeon 780M graphics, aimed at offices that want strong everyday performance without a separate graphics card.
This configuration ships with 16 GB of DDR5-5200 memory in a single module, a 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.4, and an HP wired keyboard and mouse. It comes with FreeDOS rather than Windows, which suits companies that deploy their own volume-licensed Windows image or run Linux.
Before you order: This unit has no Windows licence installed — it boots FreeDOS. Budget for a Windows 11 Pro licence (or your own corporate image) before it goes on a desk.
What's in the Box
- HP ProDesk 2 Tower G1a E desktop (B70XWAT) with 16 GB DDR5 and 512 GB SSD installed
- HP 125 v2 wired USB keyboard
- HP 125 wired USB mouse
- Power cable
- HP documentation
What It Means in Practice
- The 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G handles heavy spreadsheets, large browser workloads, ERP clients and light photo editing comfortably; the integrated Radeon 780M is enough for multiple office displays and casual 3D.
- Memory is a single 16 GB stick, so one DIMM slot is free: adding a matching 16 GB DDR5 module gives 32 GB and enables dual-channel mode, which also speeds up the integrated graphics.
- Two monitors can be connected directly: one on DisplayPort 1.4a and one on HDMI 1.4b. For a 4K screen at 60 Hz use the DisplayPort output — HDMI 1.4b tops out at 4K 30 Hz.
- The front panel carries most of the fast ports (1 × USB-C 5Gbps, 2 × USB-A 10Gbps, 2 × USB-A 5Gbps), so headsets, flash drives and phones plug in without reaching behind the case.
- Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 are built in, so the tower can go where there is no network socket, and a wired RJ-45 port is there for offices that prefer cabled LAN.
What Will Not Work
- Windows is not included — the PC starts in FreeDOS and needs an operating system installed before use.
- There is no Thunderbolt or USB4, and HP lists the front USB-C port as a 5Gbps data port only, without video output.
- A full-size gaming graphics card with external power connectors is not an option: the system runs on a 180 W internal power supply. Low-profile, slot-powered cards are the realistic upgrade path — ask us before buying one.
- Only one M.2 slot is available for storage (the second M.2 slot holds the Wi-Fi card); a second drive has to go in the single 3.5-inch bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The B70XWAT pairs the top Ryzen 7 8700G with FreeDOS, which makes it one of the more cost-effective ways to get an 8-core business tower if you already own Windows licences. The first upgrade we recommend is a second 16 GB stick for dual-channel memory — see our memory range. Check the part number before ordering: other ProDesk 2 Tower G1a configurations use different processors and ship with Windows 11 Pro.
✓ Buy it if you want an 8-core tower for office, ERP or light creative work and will install your own Windows or Linux image.
✕ Skip it if you need Windows ready out of the box, Thunderbolt, or a gaming-class graphics card.
→ Also consider a ProDesk configuration with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled if you do not have volume licences.
