HP is redefining the ultraportable workspace at CES 2026 with the debut of the EliteBoard, a high-performance keyboard-PC. Moving beyond the niche “PC-in-a-keyboard” hobbyist market, the EliteBoard brings enterprise-grade Windows 11 Pro and advanced AI capabilities to a sleek, all-in-one form factor.
Key Specs: Powering the Copilot+ PC Experience
The EliteBoard is engineered for the Microsoft Copilot+ PC program, making it one of the most AI-capable compact devices on the market.
Designed for Hot Desking and Hybrid Work
HP is targeting the EliteBoard at the modern corporate environment. With a profile less than half an inch thick, it is the ultimate solution for hot desking and flexible office layouts.
The device is built to “move, connect, and adapt,” allowing employees to carry their entire workstation in a laptop sleeve and plug into any monitor instantly. While it may have more modest total computing power than a full-sized tower, its 50 TOPS NPU ensures it handles AI-driven productivity tasks—like live captions and Studio Effects—with ease.
Who is the HP EliteBoard for?
IT Departments: Seeking “plug-and-play” hardware for hybrid office transitions.
Minimalists: Users looking for a clutter-free desk setup without a bulky PC tower.
Makers & Tech Enthusiasts: Those interested in the evolution of the x86 keyboard-PC form factor.
HP EliteBoard Release Date and Availability
The HP EliteBoard is currently being demoed at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. HP has confirmed a release date in March 2026. Official pricing has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be positioned as a premium enterprise solution.
