1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,640 Do you really need a laptop? You probably already have a monitor. 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,480 You probably already have a mouse. What you're really gunning for is just this guy. 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,480 And that's the idea behind the Elite Board G1A from HP. 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,760 This entire thing is a computer. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,880 Like the Commodore 64 of old, you have the entire system right in this little box. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320 Oh, I guess the Commodore wasn't exactly little. I'll tell you more about what's actually inside of here 7 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,840 when we take a look in just a moment, but I wanna just look at the outside. 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,840 You get a full-sized keyboard, but some kind of small arrow keys. 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,680 I would have liked it if maybe they could have tried to squeeze in full-sized arrow keys. 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:45,440 They're really trying to keep it in the laptop form factor, like look at it right here compared to an actual Elite Book. 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,640 Outside of the numpad, it is quite nearly the same size. 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,640 Also in the top right, you get a power button. Notice that it's currently glowing. 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,360 We'll talk about that in a second. It also acts as a fingerprint reader. 14 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,560 We get two USB-C ports. One is USB-4, so that's 40 gigabits per second 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,840 with 65-watt power delivery. And the other one is a 10 gigabit per second port, 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,720 also with 65-watt power delivery. And they both support DisplayPort Out, 17 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,240 because the idea is that you're gonna be using this with a docking station, 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,560 like a monitor with extra ports in it, or a desktop KVM type scenario. 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,320 I would have liked to see a USB-A port, so I could have plugged in some of my older peripherals. 20 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,000 I don't have a lot of USB-C dongles. But if you want a little bit more IO, 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,280 you can get this with an attached USB-4 cable. So you'll have these two ports, 22 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600 plus an additional USB-4 for three, the ones on the port ones, the cable. 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,480 You know what I mean. And just like that, when it comes to the typing experience of the keyboard, 24 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,800 it's honestly a pretty standard, chiclet-style keyboard that you'd find on any laptop. 25 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,840 And I think it's completely serviceable. Maybe I'm a little bit of a freak, 26 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,000 but I kinda like the style of laptop keyboards, you know? So if you like the keyboard on your HP laptop, 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,320 you're gonna like this keyboard, because it's basically the same. But the keyboard is not really the interesting part. 28 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,720 Let's take a look inside. To get inside, you just have to unscrew these four Philips captive screws. 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,960 And look at that. There we are. It pretty much looks just like the inside of a laptop. 30 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,480 So let's talk about what hardware's in here. The Elite Board G1A can be configured 31 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,960 with up to a Ryzen AI7 350 Pro 8 core processor. 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,880 It's gonna be running at about 28 watts. If you're disappointed to not hear 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,520 about the 400 series being in here, just wait a little bit. That's gonna be coming in August later this year. 34 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,000 You also have Soda memory, so you can upgrade your memory if you want. 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,360 But you can configure this to come with 64 gigabytes running at 5,600 megatransfers per second. 36 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,720 This is such a slick little board. I just wanna like take a moment to admire the design. 37 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,080 From the single heat pipe that's handling the CPU, to the fan that's gonna be pulling in air 38 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,760 through the bottom and exhausting it out through these heat sinks in the back. 39 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,400 It's also gonna be configurable up to Wi-Fi 7 with a Bluetooth 6. 40 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600 And you may have noticed this already, but there's a battery. 41 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,240 The 32 watt hour replaceable battery in here is gonna allow you to get about three and a half hours 42 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,400 of what HP's calling standard productivity. 43 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,160 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, 44 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,840 and then when you get home, you can keep working because the hustle never stops. 45 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,440 And you'll get two days of battery life while this is in hibernation. That's a full weekend, baby. 46 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,340 We also get stereo speakers and front-mounted microphones. 47 00:03:10,340 --> 00:03:14,160 This is really all you would need. Just bring a display and a mouse. 48 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,380 But maybe you're not in a hot desk scenario. Let's talk about gaming. 49 00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:22,860 Consider this a public service announcement. HP gaming stuff is now all branded HyperX, 50 00:03:22,860 --> 00:03:27,900 but they're still maintaining the Omen family, and they just announced their Omen Max 16 laptop, 51 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:32,400 which can be configured to use up to 300 watts of power 52 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,060 when you configure it with up to a 5090 or a top of the line Intel or AMD CPU. 53 00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:43,260 Look at the size of this power brick. It's a GAN charger, but because it's 460 watts, 54 00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:47,940 it's still 380 watts. It's still fricking huge. 55 00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:52,820 But I guess that's just what you need when you have this powerful laptop. And also, just look at the display. 56 00:03:52,820 --> 00:03:57,820 They have a 2.5K, 240 Hertz OLED, and it looks gorgeous. 57 00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:04,300 Naturally, a laptop this size is aiming to be a desktop replacement, so they also provide a display out 58 00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:08,420 and an Ethernet jack at the back, as well as one, 59 00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:12,680 two USB-A ports, let's go. But if this seems like a bit much to you, 60 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,780 you can get the much slimmer, but still pretty powerful Omen 15 laptop. 61 00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:21,100 Well, this doesn't go to 300 watts. It's stuck at just a already kind of crazy 170 watts. 62 00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:24,660 You still get a beautiful 2.8K OLED display 63 00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:29,620 and a 8K polling rate keyboard. And the beautiful displays don't just stop at the laptops. 64 00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:32,980 They've also announced beautiful HyperX branded displays. 65 00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:39,000 This is the HyperX Omen OLED 34 display. It's a 34 inch ultra wide with 360 Hertz refresh rate. 66 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,540 But if you're craving more frames, then you can take advantage of their 27 QS OLED monitor 67 00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:48,060 that has a refresh rate of 500 Hertz at 1440p. 68 00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:51,860 They've also announced updated peripherals, including a mechanical keyboard with a swappable case, 69 00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:56,260 new gaming mouse, and they have a fight pad that comes with a swappable, transparent base plate 70 00:04:56,260 --> 00:05:01,900 so that you could print your own design and put it on there and have the coolest fight pad at school. 71 00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:05,700 Thanks for hanging out with us here at the HP booth at CES.
