6 Jan
Summary
- HP integrates AI PC components into a compact keyboard.
- The EliteBoard uses AMD Ryzen AI processors for next-gen performance.
- It features a modular design with a removable keyboard for serviceability.
HP has introduced a groundbreaking device at CES 2026: the EliteBoard G1a. This innovative product integrates a full AI PC into the chassis of a compact keyboard, creating a unique modern desktop experience. Designed with hybrid work and hot-desking in mind, it eliminates the need for separate desktop towers or the frequent opening of laptops.
The EliteBoard features a low-profile, minimalist design, housing powerful components like AMD Ryzen AI processors, up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, and 2TB of SSD storage. Its modular construction allows for easy servicing of internal parts, including memory and storage. Connectivity is managed through USB-C ports and a special monitor-side dongle that facilitates video output and wired Ethernet, ensuring a clean, cable-free desk setup.
This AI PC is powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors, capable of up to 50 trillion operations per second. HP is offering models with or without a battery, the latter serving as a backup power source or uninterruptible power supply for seamless transitions. Pricing and an exact launch date are yet to be announced, but an early 2026 debut is expected, with costs potentially comparable to premium laptops.
