Behold, the $3,000 keyboard that is also actually a powerful AI PC I would hate to spill my coffee on
HP has released the EliteBoard G2a, an ambitious keyboard-integrated personal computer positioned as a “Next Gen AI PC,” priced at $3,000. The device represents the company’s latest evolution of its EliteBoard series, which first debuted at CES 2026 with the G1a model.
The G1a featured a Kraken Point APU and Radeon 860M integrated GPU, delivering performance roughly equivalent to a Steam Deck. The new G2a builds on this foundation with AI-focused features, including a dedicated Copilot key, reflecting Microsoft’s push toward AI integration across Windows devices.
This form factor—a fully functional computer housed within a keyboard—recalls the retro appeal of devices like the ZX Spectrum, but at a significantly higher price point. The EliteBoard series targets users seeking portable, integrated computing solutions, though at $3,000, it remains a niche premium product aimed at professionals rather than mainstream consumers.
