HP's new mini desktop, to be unveiled at CES 2026, is a form factor where the entire body fits inside a small keyboard.
The Eliteboard (Eliteboard) G1a looks like a regular office keyboard connected by a detachable USB-C cable, but inside it contains all the components that make up a computer: an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series chip, stereo speakers, RAM, storage, cooling fan, and various ports.
(* Note: There are separate models for integrated and detachable cables.)
Simply connect this keyboard to a monitor (supports up to dual 4K displays in daisy-chain mode) and turn on the pre-paired Bluetooth mouse, and you're ready to use it. Isn't that pretty amazing?
'Raspberry Pi 500' and similar products already exist, so it's not a completely new idea. However, it is a single-board computer running Raspberry Pi OS.
While the Eliteboard may not surpass full-fledged desktops or small form factor PCs in terms of performance, AMD Krackan Point processor options ranging from Ryzen AI 5 350 to Ryzen AI 7 370 Pro will be more than sufficient for running office tasks and productivity apps.
The Eliteboard G1a can be equipped with a fingerprint sensor and a user-replaceable 35Wh battery, with an estimated battery life of about 3.5 hours. It also supports expansion up to 2TB storage and 64GB DDR5 RAM through dual SODIMM slots. All this performance is packed into a keyboard with a 2mm key travel and a weight of approximately 726g.

The Eliteboard G1a is scheduled to be released in March, but HP has not yet announced the price. The final price is expected to be determined closer to the release date. [Rest omitted]
