00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.359
Do you really [music] need a laptop? You probably already have a monitor. You

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.480
probably already have a mouse. What you're really gunning for is just this

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:17.680
guy. And that's the idea behind the Elite Board G1A [music]

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.240
from HP. This entire thing is a computer

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:25.039
like the Commodore 64 of old. You have the entire system right in this little

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.599
box. Though I guess the Commodore wasn't exactly little. I'll tell you more about

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:33.360
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

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:36.880
full-sized keyboard, but some kind of small arrow keys. I would have liked it

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.480
if maybe they could have tried to squeeze in full-sized arrow keys.

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.960
They're really trying to keep it in the laptop form factor. Like look at it

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.200
right here compared to an actual Elite Book. Outside of the numpad, it is quite

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.000
nearly the same size. Also, in the top right, you get a power button. Notice

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:56.800
that it's currently glowing. We'll talk about that in a second. That also acts

00:00:53.920 --> 00:01:01.440
as a fingerprint reader. We get two USBC ports. One is USB 4, so that's 40 Gbits

00:00:59.199 --> 00:01:05.360
per second with 65 watt power delivery. And the other one is a 10 Gbit per

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:09.040
second port, also with 65 watt power delivery, and they both support display

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.400
port out because the idea is that you're going to be using this with a docking

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:16.080
station, like a monitor with extra ports in it, or a desktop KVM type scenario. I

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.360
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

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:25.520
USBC dongles, but if you want a little bit more IO, you can get this with an

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.360
attached USB 4 cable. So, you'll have these two ports plus an additional USB 4

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.960
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

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:39.280
experience of the keyboard, it's honestly a pretty standard chicklet

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.320
style keyboard that you'd find on any laptop, and I think it's completely

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.759
serviceable. Maybe I'm a little bit of a freak, but I kind of like the style of

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
laptop keyboards, you know? So, if you like the keyboard on your HP laptop,

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.040
you're going to like this keyboard because it's basically the same. But the keyboard is not really the interesting

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:57.520
part. Let's take a look inside. To get inside, you just have to unscrew these

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.280
four Phillips captive screws. And look

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.799
at that. There we are. It pretty much looks just like the inside of a laptop.

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:08.160
So, let's talk about what hardware is in here. The Elite G1A can be configured

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:09.840
with up to a Ryzen AI7 350 Pro 8 core

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:14.160
processor. It's going to be running at about 28 watts. If you're disappointed

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:17.280
to not hear about the 400 series being in here, just wait a little bit. That's

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.040
going to be coming in August later this year. You also have sodium memory, so

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:26.000
you can upgrade your memory if you want, but you can configure this to come with

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:27.520
64 GB running at 5600 mega transfers per

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.280
second. This is such a slick little board. I just want to like take a moment

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.720
to admire the design from the single heat pipe that's handling the CPU to the

00:02:33.271 --> 00:02:39.360
[music] fan that's going to be pulling in air through the bottom and exhausting

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:44.319
it out through these heat sinks in the back. It's also going to be configurable

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:45.680
up to Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth 6. And you

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.440
may have noticed this already, but there's a battery. The 32-Wh replaceable

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:54.480
battery in here is going to allow you to get about three and a half hours of what

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:57.120
HP is calling standard productivity. Not really sure what that means, but the

00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.080
cool thing is it'll allow you to unplug from your hot desk, toss it in your

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:03.760
backpack, and then when you get home, you can keep working cuz the hustle

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.040
never stops. And you'll get 2 days of battery life while this is in hibernation. That's a full weekend,

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:12.959
baby. We also get stereo speakers and front- mounted microphones. This is

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.480
really all you would need. Just bring a display and a mouse. But maybe you're

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.560
not in a hot desk scenario. Maybe you're in like a really not hot desk scenario.

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.159
Let's talk about gaming. Listen, I'm going to be real with you, man. Our

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.519
sponsor for CES, they dropped out. And this is like the third time that this

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.720
has happened. I don't know what they're doing over at these companies, but

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:34.400
clearly they need to get their stuff together. Thankfully, Dbrand has their

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.519
stuff together. They were able to swoop in and help us out. So, why don't you go

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.840
help them by buying stuff at this keeps happening.com. Consider this a public

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:48.959
service announcement. HP gaming stuff is now all branded HyperX, but they're

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.527
still maintaining the Omen family, and they just announced their Omen Max 16

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:58.422
laptop, which can be configured to use [music] up to 300 watts of power when

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:02.879
you configure it with up to a 5090 or [music] a top-of-the-line Intel or AMD

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:08.720
CPU. Look at the size of this power brick. It's a GAN charger, but because

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:09.760
it's 460 W, it's still freaking huge.

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:19.120
But I guess that's just what you need when you have this powerful a laptop. And also just look at the display. They

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:21.519
have a 2.5K 240 Hz OLED and it looks

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.360
gorgeous. Naturally, a laptop this size is aiming to be a desktop replacement.

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:32.000
So, they also provide a display out and an Ethernet jack at the back as well as

00:04:27.898 --> 00:04:33.440
[music] one, two USBA ports. Let's go.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.520
But if this seems like a bit much to you, you can get the much slimmer but

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:41.360
still pretty powerful Omen 15 laptop. While this doesn't go to 300 watts, it's

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:47.919
stuck at just a already kind of crazy 170 watts. You still get a beautiful

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.360
2.8K OLED display and a 8K polling rate

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:54.720
keyboard. And the beautiful displays don't just stop at the laptops. They've also announced beautiful HyperX branded

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:00.080
displays. [music] This is the HyperX Omen OLED 34 display. It's a 34in

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.600
ultrawide with 360 Hz refresh rate. But if you're craving more frames, [music]

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.039
then you can take advantage of their 27 QS OLED monitor that has a refresh rate

00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:11.680
of 500 [music] hertz at 1440p. They've also announced updated peripherals,

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:15.280
including a mechanical keyboard with a swappable case, new gaming mouse, and

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:18.720
they have a fight pad that comes with a swappable [music] transparent face plate

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.039
so that you could print your own design and put it on there and have the coolest

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.720
fight pad at school. [music] Thanks for hanging out with us here at the HP booth

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:30.880
at CES. We had so much fun. If you like this video, why don't you check out some
