At CES 2026, HP unveiled a truly disruptive product that challenges conventional perceptions of personal computing: the HP EliteBoard G1a, a keyboard-style AI PC that compresses the full power of an x86 computer into an ultra-slim, ultra-light form factor. Designed for modern professionals, AI-driven workflows, and minimalist work environments, EliteBoard G1a represents a new category of productivity devices—where mobility, performance, and intelligence converge.
As an official equipment solution provider, LonRise Equipment Co. Ltd is proud to support enterprises and channel partners seeking early access and professional deployment of this next-generation AI PC.
A Full x86 PC Inside a 17mm Keyboard
The most striking innovation of the HP EliteBoard G1a is its radical industrial design. Unlike traditional laptops or tablets, the entire computing system is integrated directly into the keyboard body.
- Thickness: Only 17mm
- Weight: Approximately 750 grams
This is less than half the weight of most mainstream laptops, making it ideal for business travelers, hybrid workers, and mobile professionals who demand extreme portability without sacrificing functionality. Paired with an external display, the EliteBoard G1a instantly becomes a complete workstation.
Powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series Processors
At the core of the EliteBoard G1a is the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor, ranging from Ryzen AI 5 350 to Ryzen AI 7 370 Pro. These processors are purpose-built for the AI PC era and deliver a powerful balance of CPU, GPU, and dedicated AI acceleration.
Key Performance Highlights:
- Integrated NPU with over 50 TOPS of AI computing power
- Optimized for Copilot+ PC experiences
- Seamless local AI inference without cloud dependency
- Improved security and energy efficiency for enterprise use
This architecture enables real-time AI workloads such as intelligent summarization, voice recognition, image processing, and on-device large language model operations—without latency or privacy concerns.
Enterprise-Grade Memory and Storage Scalability
Despite its compact size, the EliteBoard G1a does not compromise on performance scalability.
- Up to 64GB DDR5 memory
- Up to 2TB SSD storage
This configuration ensures smooth multitasking, fast application loading, and reliable handling of data-intensive workloads. From software development and data analysis to AI-assisted content creation, the device is designed to meet enterprise-level expectations.
Built-In Audio for AI Interaction and Collaboration
HP has integrated essential audio components directly into the keyboard chassis:
- Dual microphones for voice input and AI assistants
- Stereo speakers for audio output, conferencing, and media playback
This design supports natural voice interaction with AI tools, remote meetings, and multimedia usage without requiring external peripherals—an important consideration for minimalist and mobile setups.
Flexible Connectivity with Dual USB Type-C Ports
The EliteBoard G1a is equipped with two USB Type-C ports, offering extensive connectivity options despite its minimal footprint:
- USB4 Type-C (Full-Function Port)
- 65W power delivery
- DisplayPort 2.1 Alt Mode
- Up to 40 Gbps data transfer
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
- 65W power delivery
- DisplayPort 1.4
- Up to 10 Gbps data transfer
These ports allow users to connect high-resolution external displays, docking stations, storage devices, and power adapters, transforming the EliteBoard G1a into a versatile desktop replacement when needed.
Replaceable Battery Designed for Mobility
The device features a 32Wh replaceable battery, emphasizing practicality and serviceability.
- Typical usage time: Approximately 3.5 hours
- Standby time: Up to 2 days
While not designed for all-day unplugged operation, the battery strategy aligns with hot-desk environments, conference rooms, and travel scenarios where quick charging or battery swaps are preferred. This approach also extends the product lifecycle and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
A New Vision for AI-First Workspaces
The HP EliteBoard G1a is not simply a smaller PC—it is a strategic response to evolving work patterns:
- Remote and hybrid work
- AI-enhanced productivity
- Desk sharing and modular workstations
- Secure, local AI computing
By separating the computing core from the display, organizations gain flexibility in hardware deployment, display selection, and workspace design.
