HP has officially launched the EliteBoard G2a, a keyboard-sized mini PC unveiled at CES 2026. The device is powered by AMD Ryzen AI 400 APUs, offering local AI performance with 50 TOPS from built-in NPUs. The base model starts at $3,028 with a Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435, 16 GB DDR5-5600 RAM, and 512 GB PCIe Gen 5 SSD. The higher-tier configuration, priced at $4,167, features the Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450, 32 GB RAM, and the same 512 GB SSD.
Despite its compact form, the EliteBoard G2a supports 65 W USB Power Delivery and includes minimal I/O: one USB4 port and one USB Type-C 10 Gbps port. It features built-in dual speakers and ships with an HP 675M wireless mouse. The keyboard is membrane-based with an 1800 layout and white backlighting. Notably, the system uses SODIMM RAM, allowing user upgrades to 32 GB without paying HP’s premium.
The key difference between the two APUs lies in CPU cores and GPU performance. The Ryzen AI 7 Pro 450 includes two additional cores and a Radeon 860M iGPU with eight CUs, while the Ryzen AI 5 Pro 435 uses a Radeon 840M with only four CUs.
