theregister.com••technology
Key Points:
- HP unveiled the EliteBoard G1a at CES 2026, a full-size keyboard with a built-in Windows PC powered by AMD Ryzen AI processors, designed for portability by plugging into USB-C monitors and using wireless mice, targeting enterprise users and hot-desking environments.
- The EliteBoard G1a features up to 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD storage, integrated AI capabilities, optional battery for up to 3.5 hours unplugged use, and enterprise-grade security with HP Wolf Security for Business.
- While innovative, the keyboard PC's reliance on compatible monitors and mice setups at home may complicate IT support and increase costs, making it potentially more suitable for call centers or tight desk spaces rather than frequent transport.
