HP Inc. unveiled the HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC, a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree and a full AI PC built into a keyboard—that moves, connects, and adapts to any workspace. HP also introduced the newest HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor.

“Work is being redesigned in real time—where it happens, how it happens, and what tools employees need to stay productive,” says Guayente Sanmartin, senior vice president and division president, Commercial Systems & Displays Solutions at HP Inc. “HP’s focus is to remove the friction and complexity that slows people down and turn emerging AI into a real advantage. The HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC does exactly that by delivering next-generation local AI power in a keyboard-sized form factor that moves at the speed of modern work.”

The HP 2025 Work Relationship Index reveals a disconnect between rising expectations and the tools people have, with only 44% of workers believing their technology fits their work style. As work becomes more cross-functional, professionals need flexible setups and hardware that adapts to them. This shift is reshaping the desk into something modular, mobile, and personalized.

The HP EliteBoard G1a Next-Gen AI PC is built directly into an ultra-compact keyboard, this Copilot+ PC delivers computing and next-gen AI performance. 

  • Work lighter with an ultra-thin 12 mm profile that reclaims the desk as a minimalist, clutter-free workspace. Dual mics and speakers are packaged in a sleek keyboard that weighs less than half the weight of a traditional notebook PC at 750g and connects to any size display.
  • Accelerate AI-assisted productivity with the smartest keyboard on earth delivering over 50 TOPS NPU to keep next-gen workloads responsive, lag-free, and ready to go wherever work happens, powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor.

HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor

The HP EliteBoard G1a delivers flexibility at the desk; the HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor unlocks the visual canvas for that work.

  • Bring work to life with IPS black performance and next-gen Neo:LED display technology in 4K for immersive creative flow.
  • Work confidently with professional-grade factory calibrated color accuracy and custom user color profiles tailored to your workflow.

Also, look for 140W Thunderbolt 4 connectivity delivering 40Gbps high-speed data and video processing for single-cable performance.

Pricing and Availability

  • The HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC and HP Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor are to be available on HP.com in March. Pricing will be provided closer to availability.
