HP EliteBoard G1a: A Full Windows 11 PC in a Keyboard
HP’s EliteBoard G1a reimagines the classic desktop by hiding a full Windows 11 PC inside a slim, membrane keyboard powered by Ryzen AI silicon. Instead of a bulky tower or all-in-one monitor, your entire workstation is condensed into something that slips easily into a backpack yet connects to your favorite display with a single cable. This approach keeps the familiar feel of a standard keyboard while quietly delivering serious performance.
The Most Familiar, Full-Fledged PC Experience
Because everything lives in the keyboard, setup is as simple as plugging into a monitor or TV and pairing a mouse. You still get the responsive Windows 11 environment you expect, along with modern connectivity and AI acceleration for productivity, conferencing, and light creative work. For small offices, home workstations, and hybrid workers who travel frequently, the EliteBoard G1a offers a clean, clutter-free desk without sacrificing power.
