Do you really [music] need a laptop? 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 display
port 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. And you'll get 2 days of battery life while this is in hibernation. That's a full weekend,
baby. We also get stereo speakers and front- mounted microphones. This is
really all you would need. Just bring a display and a mouse. But maybe you're
not in a hot desk scenario. Maybe you're in like a really not hot desk scenario.
Let's talk about gaming. Listen, I'm going to be real with you, man. Our
sponsor for CES, they dropped out. And this is like the third time that this
has happened. I don't know what they're doing over at these companies, but
clearly they need to get their stuff together. Thankfully, Dbrand has their
stuff together. They were able to swoop in and help us out. 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. And also just look at the display. They
have a 2.5K 240 Hz OLED and it looks
gorgeous. Naturally, a laptop this size is aiming to be a desktop replacement.
So, they also provide a display out and an Ethernet jack at the back as well as
[music] one, two USBA ports. Let's go.
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. And the beautiful displays don't just stop at the laptops. They've also announced beautiful HyperX branded
displays. [music] This is the HyperX Omen OLED 34 display. It's a 34in
ultrawide with 360 Hz refresh rate. But if you're craving more frames, [music]
then you can take advantage of their 27 QS OLED monitor that has a refresh rate
of 500 [music] hertz at 1440p. They've also announced updated peripherals,
including a mechanical keyboard with a swappable case, new gaming mouse, and
they have a fight pad that comes with a swappable [music] transparent face plate
so that you could print your own design and put it on there and have the coolest
fight pad at school. [music] Thanks for hanging out with us here at the HP booth
at CES. We had so much fun. If you like this video, why don't you check out some
