1. HP Debuts EliteBoard G1a Keyboard AI PC
At CES 2026, HP introduced the EliteBoard G1a, the industry’s smallest and lightest AI-capable PC, weighing just 0.75 kg with a 12 mm profile and fitting entirely into a keyboard form factor. Powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor and delivering over 50 TOPS of on-device NPU compute, the EliteBoard G1a supports concurrent AI workloads locally—enabling real-time collaboration and content generation without cloud latency. The device earned a CES Innovation Award and carries EPEAT 2.0 Gold registration, underscoring HP’s commitment to sustainable product design and enterprise-grade security via hardware-enforced Wolf Security for Business.
2. New AI-Ready Notebooks Accelerate Productivity
HP expanded its Copilot+ PC portfolio with the EliteBook X G2 Series and OmniBook Ultra 14. The EliteBook X G2 Series offers three models—G2q with up to 85 TOPS NPU (Snapdragon X2 Elite), G2i with 50 TOPS and 180 platform TOPS (Intel Core Ultra Series 3), and G2a with 55 TOPS (AMD Ryzen AI)—all under 1 kg and delivering up to 29 hours of battery life in FHD video tests. The OmniBook Ultra 14, co-engineered with Qualcomm, is the world’s first consumer laptop to offer 85 TOPS NPU, achieving all-day battery life plus a 3K OLED display. Both lines feature HP Smart Sense for dynamic power and thermal tuning, and industry-leading serviceability to reduce keyboard replacement time by 80%.
3. Enhanced Print Productivity and Device Management
HP unveiled its first integration of Microsoft Copilot into HP Office Print devices, enabling document summarization, translation and automated workflows directly at the printer. Concurrently, the Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) added a firmware-level recovery feature that allows IT teams to restore unbootable devices in the field—cutting average repair times by up to 60%. Together, these enhancements aim to reduce end-user downtime and strengthen hybrid-work continuity, positioning HP’s managed print and device-management solutions as key drivers of corporate productivity.
4. Sustainability Milestone Drives Circular Innovation
Building on its circular economy strategy, HP reported that since 2019 it has incorporated more than 5 billion pounds of reused, recycled or renewable materials into its products and packaging. This achievement supports HP’s goal to transition all personal computers and print products to 100% circular materials by 2030. Investors should note that material reuse initiatives have contributed to a 15% reduction in upstream supply-chain emissions year-over-year, reinforcing HP’s leadership in environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
