HP EliteBoard G2a Is a Keyboard With a Built-In AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 Mini PC

HP has unveiled the EliteBoard G2a, a full-fledged second-generation mini PC built directly into a keyboard enclosure. The device is powered by AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 processors. The model succeeds the EliteBoard G1a, which was based on Ryzen AI 300 chips.

The HP EliteBoard G2a is available with two Gorgon Point processor options. The base configuration features a Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 (6 cores, 12 threads) and integrated Radeon 840M graphics. The higher-performance model features a Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 (8 cores, 16 threads) and integrated Radeon 860M graphics. Both chips have a neural processing unit (NPU) delivering 50 TOPS for local AI tasks. Up to 32 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD are available. Both the RAM modules and SSD can be replaced.

The top panel is occupied by a full-size backlit keyboard with low-profile keycaps, a function row, and a dedicated Copilot key. Connectivity options include a USB4 port (up to 40 Gbps), a USB-C port (10 Gbps), and wireless modules supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. However, there are no USB-A or LAN ports. HP offers an optional built-in 32 Wh battery, while power from an outlet is supplied via a 65 W USB-C adapter. The computer connects to an external display via USB4 and comes with either a fixed or detachable USB-C cable. The device measures 358.1 × 118.7 × 17.9 mm and weighs about 670 g.
