What if the computer on your desk disappeared, but everything still worked better?

At CES, HP introduced the EliteBoard, a fully functional AI-powered PC built directly into a keyboard. Marc Aflalo speaks with Caleb Fleming, Sr. Manager, BPS NPI Leads Team at HP, about how the idea emerged, why traditional all-in-one desktops created long-term problems for IT teams, and how rethinking the form factor unlocked a cleaner, more flexible workspace. 

By moving compute hardware into the keyboard itself, HP separates the lifecycle of the display from the PC, simplifies deployment, and removes unnecessary hardware for workers who rarely open a laptop screen. The result is a compact device designed for call centers, front desks, shared workspaces, and enterprise environments where simplicity, serviceability, and security matter most. 

Despite its size, EliteBoard delivers full enterprise performance, including modern graphics, local AI processing, high-capacity memory and storage, Windows 11 Pro, advanced connectivity, optional battery support, and user-upgradeable components. It is also designed with accessibility in mind, improving key visibility, tactile feedback, and usability for low-vision and screen-reader users. 

The discussion also explores real-world enterprise use cases, on-device AI features like accent neutralization for call centers, strong reception and awards at CES, and HP’s broader 2026 device strategy across EliteBooks, connectivity, and mobile productivity. 

This episode examines a simple question with major implications:

What happens when the computer disappears into the tools you already use?
