LAS VEGAS, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Hewlett Packard Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) unveiled the Hewlett Packard EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC, a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree and the world’s first full AI PC built into a keyboardiv — powering the future of work with a design that moves, connects, and adapts to any workspace. To complement this evolution of the desk, Hewlett Packard also introduced the newest Hewlett Packard Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor, pushing the boundaries for visual fidelity and flawless performance for the most demanding professional users.
“Work is being redesigned in real time—where it happens, how it happens, and what tools employees need to stay productive,” said Guayente Sanmartin, Senior Vice President and Division President, Commercial Systems & Displays Solutions at Hewlett Packard Inc. “ Hewlett Packard ’s focus is to remove the friction and complexity that slows people down and turn emerging AI into a real advantage. The Hewlett Packard EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC does exactly that by delivering next-generation local AI power in a keyboard-sized form factor that moves at the speed of modern work.”
Hewlett Packard EliteBoard: Break Free from the Traditional Desk Experience
The HP 2025 Work Relationship Index reveals a growing disconnect between rising expectations and the tools people have to meet them, with only 44 percent of workers believing their technology fits their style of working.v As work becomes more fluid and cross-functional, professionals need flexible setups and hardware that adapts to them. This shift is reshaping the desk itself into something modular, mobile, and personalized, creating demand for devices that can move seamlessly across workspaces without sacrificing performance.
The Hewlett Packard EliteBoard G1a Next-Gen AI PC reimagines what a desktop experience can be. Built directly into a sleek, ultra-compact keyboard, this Copilot+ PC and EPEAT 2.0 Gold Registered Product delivers uncompromising computing and next-gen AI performance—engineered to move, connect, and adapt to any workspace with ease.
Hewlett Packard Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor: A New Visual Hub for the Future of Work
The way work happens is shifting beyond a single screen just as much as it is shifting beyond a single desk. While the Hewlett Packard EliteBoard G1a delivers a new kind of flexibility at the desk, the Hewlett Packard Series 7 Pro 4K Monitor unlocks the visual canvas for that work—bringing the fidelity, consistency, and seamless multi-device flow modern workers now expect. Display technology innovation is no longer limited to phones and living room TVs; the next generation of visual performance now arrives at the desk.
