You probably already have a monitor. You probably already have a mouse. What you're really gunning for is just this guy. And that's the idea behind the Elite Board G1A [music] from HP. This entire thing is a computer like the Commodore 64 of old. You have the entire system right in this little box. Though I guess the Commodore wasn't exactly little. I'll tell you more about what's actually inside of here when we take a look in just a moment. But I want to just look at the outside. You get a full-sized keyboard, but some kind of small arrow keys. I would have liked it if maybe they could have tried to squeeze in full-sized arrow keys. They're really trying to keep it in the laptop form factor. Like look at it right here compared to an actual Elite Book. Outside of the numpad, it is quite nearly the same size. Also, in the top right, you get a power button. Notice that it's currently glowing. We'll talk about that in a second. That also acts as a fingerprint reader. We get two USBC ports. One is USB 4, so that's 40 Gbits per second with 65 watt power delivery. And the other one is a 10 Gbit per second port, also with 65 watt power delivery, and they both support DisplayPort out because the idea is that you're going to be using this with a docking station, like a monitor with extra ports in it, or a desktop KVM type scenario. I would have liked to see a USBA port so I could have plugged in some of my like older peripherals. I don't have a lot of USBC dongles, but if you want a little bit more IO, you can get this with an attached USB 4 cable. So, you'll have these two ports plus an additional USB 4 for three. The ones on a port, ones, the cable, you know what I mean. And just like that, when it comes to the typing experience of the keyboard, it's honestly a pretty standard chicklet style keyboard that you'd find on any laptop, and I think it's completely serviceable. Maybe I'm a little bit of a freak, but I kind of like the style of laptop keyboards, you know? So, if you like the keyboard on your HP laptop, you're going to like this keyboard because it's basically the same. But the keyboard is not really the interesting part. Let's take a look inside. To get inside, you just have to unscrew these four Phillips captive screws. And look at that. There we are. It pretty much looks just like the inside of a laptop. So, let's talk about what hardware is in here. The Elite G1A can be configured with up to a Ryzen AI7 350 Pro 8 core processor. It's going to be running at about 28 watts. If you're disappointed to not hear about the 400 series being in here, just wait a little bit. That's going to be coming in August later this year. You also have sodium memory, so you can upgrade your memory if you want, but you can configure this to come with 64 GB running at 5600 mega transfers per second. This is such a slick little board. I just want to like take a moment to admire the design from the single heat pipe that's handling the CPU to the [music] fan that's going to be pulling in air through the bottom and exhausting it out through these heat sinks in the back. It's also going to be configurable up to Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 6. And you may have noticed this already, but there's a battery. The 32-Wh replaceable battery in here is going to allow you to get about three and a half hours of what HP is calling standard productivity. Not really sure what that means, but the cool thing is it'll allow you to unplug from your hot desk, toss it in your backpack, and then when you get home, you can keep working cuz the hustle never stops.

So, why don't you go help them by buying stuff at this keeps happening.com. Consider this a public service announcement. HP gaming stuff is now all branded HyperX, but they're still maintaining the Omen family, and they just announced their Omen Max 16 laptop, which can be configured to use [music] up to 300 watts of power when you configure it with up to a 5090 or [music] a top-of-the-line Intel or AMD CPU. Look at the size of this power brick. It's a GAN charger, but because it's 460 W, it's still freaking huge. But I guess that's just what you need when you have this powerful a laptop.

But if this seems like a bit much to you, you can get the much slimmer but still pretty powerful Omen 15 laptop. While this doesn't go to 300 watts, it's stuck at just a already kind of crazy 170 watts. You still get a beautiful 2.8K OLED display and a 8K polling rate keyboard.
