HP unveiled a number of new products at the ongoing annual CES 2026 trade show. One of them was the Eliteboard G1a mini-computer, which looks like a standard office keyboard. However, inside this case, there’s room for an AMD Ryzen AI 300 processor, RAM, storage, stereo speakers, a cooler, and several interfaces for connecting external devices.
On the surface, it’s a standard office keyboard with a USB-C cable, but inside lies a full-fledged AMD Ryzen AI 300-series processor, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, a fan, and connectivity ports. Simply connect the Eliteboard to a monitor (support for up to two 4K displays via daisy-chaining).
The Eliteboard G1a is available with Ryzen AI 5 350 and Ryzen AI 7 370 Pro processors. A Bluetooth mouse is included, and a fingerprint scanner and a replaceable 35 Wh battery, which provides approximately 3.5 hours of battery life, are available as options. It supports up to 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 2 TB of SSD storage.
All this is housed in a keyboard body with 2 mm of key travel and a weight of 726 g. The Eliteboard G1a will go on sale this March. The retail price has not yet been announced.
