HP’s EliteBoard G1a Is a Copilot+ PC Built Into a Keyboard

Built for hot‑desking, the serviceable Copilot+ device ships in March with pricing still to come.

Overview

  • Unveiled at CES 2026, the keyboard houses a full Windows 11 PC with AMD Ryzen AI 300‑series chips, up to 64GB DDR5 RAM, up to 2TB SSD, and an NPU rated at up to 50 TOPS.
  • HP is positioning the EliteBoard for enterprise use with options like a Kensington lock slot, HP Wolf Security, and an optional fingerprint reader.
  • The design is user‑serviceable, with a replaceable keyboard and bottom access to RAM, SSD, fans, speakers, Wi‑Fi module, and the optional battery.
  • Connectivity centers on USB‑C/USB4 for power and display; reports conflict on external monitor support, with some citing two 4K displays and others up to four at 60Hz.
  • Models will be offered with or without a 32 Wh battery (about 3.5 hours claimed) and with either a detachable or tethered cable, with sales starting on HP.com in March and pricing unannounced.
