EliteBoard G1a: HP unveils a keyboard with an entire PC in it

HP has a fresh new take on low-profile PCs. Instead of going the AIO route with the hardware components baked into a screen, the company has shoehorned an entire working PC into a keyboard. While that greatly limits the types of hardware it can accommodate, the HP EliteBoard G1a can easily run most day-to-day applications. It interfaces with devices via a USB 4.0 and USB 3.2 Gen2 port, both of which support power delivery and video output.

CPU choices for the EliteBoard G1a are understandably limited, with the PC offering only AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350, Ryzen AI 5 340, and Ryzen AI 5 330 Krackan Point SKUs. The integrated Radeon iGPUs can power up to two 4K displays simultaneously. Memory caps out at 64 GB DDR5-6400 via user-upgradable SODIMMs. Similarly, one can install up to a 2 TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD in the PC. Alternatively, the Ryzen AI 7 350 SKU can also be configured with 32 GB of eMMC storage and eliminating the need for an SSD entirely.

The EliteBoard G1a can also function as a standalone device thanks to its 32 Wh battery, although you will need to plug it into a monitor regardless. Otherwise, it can charge at up to 65 Watts via the included charger or use a monitor’s USB-C port for power. For wireless connectivity, there’s Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth 5.4 or Wi-Fi 7/Bluetooth 6.0.

Lastly, the EliteBoard G1a measures 58 x 118 x 17 mm and weighs 726 grams with the battery included. It goes on sale in March 2026, and its price will be revealed as its launch approaches.
