A whole desktop the size of a keyboard?

The HP EliteBoard G1a is the world's first PC built entirely into a Keyboard and is a CES 2026 Innovation Award honoree.

Its key innovation is fitting a PC in its 12mm ultra-thin profile and weighing 750 grams. This makes it significantly more portable than the majority of the PCs out there. Users need only to connect it to any display via a single cable. It draws power via the same USB-C connected to the display, dock, or included charger.
