HP has introduced a new mini desktop computer, the Eliteboard G1a, cleverly integrated into a compact keyboard, as revealed at CES 2026. The Eliteboard G1a, designed to resemble a standard office keyboard with either a captive or detachable USB-C cable, houses an AMD Ryzen AI 300-series chip, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, a fan, and ports within its sleek form factor, eliminating the need for a separate desktop tower. Users simply connect the keyboard to a monitor (supporting dual 4K displays), pair the included Bluetooth mouse, and start working seamlessly.
The Eliteboard stands out with its performance-driven AMD Krackan Point processor options, ranging from a Ryzen AI 5 350 to a Ryzen AI 7 370 Pro, catering to office tasks and productivity applications efficiently. Moreover, the Eliteboard G1a offers customization options such as a fingerprint sensor, user-replaceable 35Wh battery providing up to 3.5 hours of battery life, up to 2TB of storage, and 64GB of DDR5 RAM, all packed into a keyboard with 2mm key travel, weighing as light as 1.69 pounds / 726 grams.
The Eliteboard G1a presents a compact and integrated solution that combines functionality and space-saving design, revolutionizing the traditional desktop setup by integrating essential components into a familiar peripheral.
