"The Eliteboard G1a looks like a normal office keyboard with either a captive or detachable USB-C cable, but inside it is an AMD Ryzen AI 300-series chip, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, a fan, and ports - all the things that make up a computer. You just plug this keyboard into a monitor (up to dual 4K displays via daisy-chain connection), turn on the included and pre-paired Bluetooth mouse, and you're good to go."
"In addition to cable options, the Eliteboard G1a can be configured with a fingerprint sensor and user-replaceable 35Wh battery for an estimated 3.5 hours of battery life. It can also be outfitted with up to 2TB of storage and 64GB of DDR5 RAM across its dual SODIMM slots. All that in a keyboard with 2mm key travel and weighing as much as 1.69 pounds / 726 grams."
"I know the Eliteboard is likely to just be used in boring office and IT environments, but I kind of love it (even though I doubt I'd enjoy typing on a latticeless membrane keyboard). I'm henceforth nicknaming it The Keyputer. My only wish is for a mechanical alternative, especially if HP found a way to factor in some of the modularity from its new HyperX keyboards, and with hotswap switches."
HP's Eliteboard G1a houses a complete mini desktop inside a compact keyboard form factor. The unit contains AMD Ryzen AI 300-series processors, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, an active cooling fan, and I/O ports. The keyboard connects to displays via USB-C with support for daisy-chained dual 4K monitors and pairs with an included Bluetooth mouse. Configurations include fingerprint sensor, user-replaceable 35Wh battery (approximately 3.5 hours), up to 2TB storage, and up to 64GB DDR5 across dual SODIMM slots. The device weighs about 726 grams, offers 2mm key travel, and targets office and productivity workloads. Launch expected in March with pricing not announced.
