HP Unveils EliteBoard G1a: A Ryzen-Powered Windows 11 PC in a Membrane Keyboard

In an effort to provide a more accessible alternative, HP has announced the EliteBoard G1a - a Windows system built into a functioning membrane keyboard. The device is poised to bring a familiar interface to the keyboard-PC form factor, a space dominated by Raspberry Pi-based systems.

The EliteBoard's power lies in its use of an AMD Ryzen AI 300-series processor, coupled with support for Windows 11 Pro for Business. While limited compared to other business PCs, this system offers new capabilities that could pique interest among IT departments seeking easy hybrid workplace solutions, makers, and minimalists interested in experimenting.

The EliteBoard boasts a slim profile of 0.47 inches, making it an ultraportable option for workplaces with employees who don't have assigned seats (hot desking). Weighing only 1.65 pounds, this keyboard-PC is designed to be easily set up and transported.

HP has not yet released full specifications, but the EliteBoard will feature two USB-C ports, a 32 W internal battery, and is part of Microsoft's Copilot+ PC program. The device will be demoed at CES 2026 in Las Vegas this week before its March release. Pricing has yet to be announced.

For those seeking an easy-to-use hybrid workspace solution or simply looking to experiment with a keyboard-PC, the EliteBoard G1a may offer a compelling option. With HP's focus on ease of use and portability, this device could carve out a niche in the market for users who value flexibility and convenience above raw processing power.
 
omg, can u believe this ?? HP just dropped a Windows 11 PC INSIDE a membrane keyboard 🤯! I mean, who wouldn't want to work on their keyboard like it's a normal laptop, right? 😂 I'm low-key hyped about the EliteBoard G1a, especially with that slim profile and 32W internal battery - perfect for hot desking or on-the-go work 💻💸. The Ryzen AI 300-series processor is also a major plus 🤖. And the best part? It's designed to be easy to set up and transport... now we're talking about a true hybrid workspace solution 📈! What do u think, would u try out this thingy? 🤔
 
I'm all about that laptop-keyboard combo life 💻🖥️ - it's like having the best of both worlds! The EliteBoard G1a seems like an awesome solution for anyone who wants a sleek, portable PC that's also easy to set up and use. I mean, who needs a separate keyboard and monitor when you can have them all in one? 🤔 And with AMD Ryzen powering it, we're talking solid performance without breaking the bank. The fact that it's ultraportable (0.47 inches thin!) is like the icing on the cake - perfect for those hot desk spaces or commutes where space is at a premium 🚂.

I'm curious to see how this thing holds up in real-world use, but if HP can deliver on its promise of ease of use and portability, I think we might have a winner here. Not sure about the 32W internal battery just yet though... still some questions to answer before it hits shelves 🤔
 
I gotta say, I'm super intrigued by the EliteBoard G1a 🤔! As someone who loves retro tech, I've always been fascinated by keyboard-PCs from the 90s and early 2000s. There was something so cool about having a fully functional computer built right into your keyboard 🎮.

I love that HP is taking this old idea and updating it for the modern era with an AMD Ryzen processor and Windows 11 Pro for Business. It's gonna be super interesting to see how IT departments and makers use this thing. The portability factor is also a big plus - I can totally see myself tossing this into my bag and setting up a hot desk workspace on the go 🗺️.

Of course, it's not without its limitations (we're talking limited processing power here 😊), but for those who want an easy-to-use hybrid solution or just wanna tinker with something new, I think HP's got a winner on their hands. The price point is still TBD, so let's see how that shakes out... 💸
 
I'm like totally stoked about this new HP thingy... I mean, a keyboard with a computer built into it? It sounds like something my dad used to tinker with back in the day when we had those old desktop computers with huge monitors 🖥️. But for real though, it's kinda cool that they're trying to make it more accessible for people who want a flexible workspace solution.

I remember using those old laptop-keyboards combos when I was in college, and they were always so clunky... but this EliteBoard G1a sounds like a game-changer for people who need something portable. 0.47 inches thin? That's like, tiny! I can imagine it being super convenient to have everything you need right there on your desk.

I don't know if I'd be able to afford one though... they're still pretty pricey. But hey, if it's gonna make things easier for people who work from home or need a lightweight PC for the office, then I'm all for it 💻👍
 
I'm stoked about the new EliteBoard G1a from HP! 🤩 I mean, who wouldn't want a keyboard that doubles as a PC? It's like having a mini office on your desk. The idea of it being ultraportable and weighing only 1.65 pounds is genius. Just imagine being able to set up a workspace anywhere and take it with you! 💻

I think the fact that it comes with Windows 11 Pro for Business is a big deal. I've seen some IT departments struggle with setting up hybrid workspaces, so this could be exactly what they need. And for makers and minimalists who want to experiment with new ways of working, this thing looks like a dream come true.

I'm not sure about the price yet, but if it's competitive with other business PCs, I think HP has a winner on their hands. Can't wait to see how it goes at CES 2026! 👀
 
🤯 I'm actually kinda stoked to see HP getting into this keyboard-PC game! Who needs all those extra buttons and ports anyway? The membrane keyboard thing might just give it that retro vibe some people are looking for 🕰️. Plus, with the Ryzen processor and Windows 11 Pro, you get a solid foundation for productivity and multitasking. For the minimalist crowd, this could be like having a super portable computer that's also a keyboard, lol!
 
omg can you imagine using a pc as a keyboard?! sounds kinda cool I guess it would be super convenient to have a built-in keyboard that's also got a screen lol. I think it'd be perfect for people who work from coffee shops or co-working spaces where they don't wanna bring their own laptop and risk spilling coffee all over it

I'm hyped that HP is trying something new and different here! And the fact that it's AMD Ryzen powered makes me happy, those chips are so fast! I'd love to try out the EliteBoard G1a and see how well it works in practice. maybe we can get our hands on one before it launches?
 
idk about this new HP thing... sounds like it's trying to be some kinda space-saving laptop but is still got all the bloat of a regular PC 🤔. i mean, 32W battery? that's not exactly portable, is it? and two USB-C ports? what's wrong with good ol' fashioned USB-A ports?! 🙄 also, why are they calling it "hybrid workplace solution"? isn't just using a laptop or desktop enough for most people? this thing seems like it's trying too hard to be something it's not 💁‍♀️
 
I'm so stoked about this new EliteBoard G1a from HP 🤩! I mean, who wouldn't want a laptop that's literally built into a keyboard?

And with the Ryzen AI 300-series processor, I'm sure it'll handle most tasks with ease. Plus, the fact that it's ultraportable (0.47 inches!) is a major win – perfect for those hot desking spaces 🏢. Can't wait to see what kind of specs HP drops in March and how it compares to other keyboards-PCs on the market...
 
I'm so down for a new way to work that doesn't feel like a desktop setup all day long 😊. The idea of a keyboard-PC is actually pretty cool - it's like having my laptop, but with less hassle. And 0.47 inches thin? That's insane! I'm curious about the Ryzen processor, I've heard great things about those chips 🤔. It would be awesome if HP makes this thing more affordable, though - $1k is a bit steep for me 😅. Still, it's an interesting move by HP to cater to people who want a different way of working...

The idea of having a working keyboard that can boot up Windows 11 is genius, especially for those who work on the go or need a flexible workspace setup.
