WEBVTT 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.640 Do you really need a laptop? You probably already have a monitor. 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.480 You probably already have a mouse. What you're really gunning for is just this guy. 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.480 And that's the idea behind the Elite Board G1A from HP. 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.760 This entire thing is a computer. 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.880 Like the Commodore 64 of old, you have the entire system right in this little box. 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 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. 00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:34.840 You get a full-sized keyboard, but some kind of small arrow keys. 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. 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. 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.640 Outside of the numpad, it is quite nearly the same size. 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.640 Also in the top right, you get a power button. Notice that it's currently glowing. 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.360 We'll talk about that in a second. It also acts as a fingerprint reader. 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 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.840 with 65-watt power delivery. And the other one is a 10 gigabit per second port, 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.720 also with 65-watt power delivery. And they both support DisplayPort Out, 00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:11.240 because the idea is that you're gonna be using this with a docking station, 00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:14.560 like a monitor with extra ports in it, or a desktop KVM type scenario. 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. 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, 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, 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.600 plus an additional USB-4 for three, the ones on the port ones, the cable. 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, 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.800 it's honestly a pretty standard, chiclet-style keyboard that you'd find on any laptop. 00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:42.840 And I think it's completely serviceable. Maybe I'm a little bit of a freak, 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, 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. 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. 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. 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 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.960 with up to a Ryzen AI7 350 Pro 8 core processor. 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.880 It's gonna be running at about 28 watts. If you're disappointed to not hear 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. 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.000 You also have Soda memory, so you can upgrade your memory if you want. 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. 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. 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 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.760 through the bottom and exhausting it out through these heat sinks in the back. 00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:43.400 It's also gonna be configurable up to Wi-Fi 7 with a Bluetooth 6. 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.600 And you may have noticed this already, but there's a battery. 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 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.400 of what HP's calling standard productivity. 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, 00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:02.840 and then when you get home, you can keep working because the hustle never stops. 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. 00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:10.340 We also get stereo speakers and front-mounted microphones. 00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:14.160 This is really all you would need. Just bring a display and a mouse. 00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:17.380 But maybe you're not in a hot desk scenario. Let's talk about gaming. 00:03:17.380 --> 00:03:22.860 Consider this a public service announcement. HP gaming stuff is now all branded HyperX, 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, 00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:32.400 which can be configured to use up to 300 watts of power 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. 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, 00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:47.940 it's still 380 watts. It's still fricking huge. 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. 00:03:52.820 --> 00:03:57.820 They have a 2.5K, 240 Hertz OLED, and it looks gorgeous. 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 00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:08.420 and an Ethernet jack at the back, as well as one, 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, 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.780 you can get the much slimmer, but still pretty powerful Omen 15 laptop. 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. 00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.660 You still get a beautiful 2.8K OLED display 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. 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:32.980 They've also announced beautiful HyperX branded displays. 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. 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 00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:48.060 that has a refresh rate of 500 Hertz at 1440p. 00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:51.860 They've also announced updated peripherals, including a mechanical keyboard with a swappable case, 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 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. 00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:05.700 Thanks for hanging out with us here at the HP booth at CES.
