Incorrectly advertising battery capacity as 32W instead of (presumably) 32WH is a hilarious mistake for a company the size of HP

W & watts has become a colloquialism for watt-hours in the EV space at least.

e.g. "how much did consume at the super charger" -- about 10 watts (WH).

So it's not literally correct, but it's becoming commonplace to say that.

slang , pigeons and dialects all develop based off of context like this.

I want less microsoft/copilot in things, not more. I don't know who this is for.

copilot is an easy toggle. It's a PC with UEFI so you could boot linux as usual.

If they strike the right price I will buy one. I currently carry a raspi + keyboard + power supply and I would prefer something clean with a backup battery (one less tether)

Raspberry Pi 400 did it (TM) , minus the AI PC crap.

like any PC you can run what you like. even on Windows it's easy to turn off AI stuff (I've done that for years , back when it was spammy Cortana and MSN content).

You want more designs like this, which will encourage more Raspberry PI and other competitors to jump in.

It's a win win for everyone

Are the little NUC sized boxes too obtrusive? I don't understand who will buy this keyboard.

integrated keyboard & power mean only a single connection when you arrive. Even BT can be a pain, especially if it doesn't pair, you are left with a headless and keyboardless NUC box.

I don't want one, but all the skepticism is weird. I can see it making sense for hot desking office workers, or other similar. When I worked from home at my last job, I kept the laptop closed and out of sight and just connected my own monitors. Most people aren't picky about keyboards, so this seems like a perfectly reasonable product for plenty of people.

It would work, but is it any better than existing options like a little computer on the desk, a computer on the back of the monitor, or an AIO PC? I dunno. I like it. I think it's neat. I won't buy one, but I look forward to the Cathode Ray Dude episode about it 25 years from now.

Well, it looks "cleaner" and more "professional" than hanging a lump behind your monitor. It may not benifit to all people, but it is not worse than exist option, so, why not.

Cool to see some innovation from HP, this is actually unique and fills a niche of going from desk to desk (home->office), without needing mobile. Much better than ripping off the latest aluminum MacBook designs.

If this is better than a laptop for mobile work why include the keyboard? Why not just make it a tiny box with a single USB C connector to plug into the dock on your home and work desks? Since you already must have monitors and mice at those locations (or bring them with you) I'm failing to see the point of including the keyboard in this package (except of course to be able to advertise the "copilot key")

They can design a Motherboard that can be used in both laptop and this machine, so no need for double NRE.

It could be how I titled it with "Ryzen AI Chip". It's a somewhat new marketing term from AMD. The chip itself isn't much different from a Ryzen CPU + embedded graphics + TPU/NPU

Ryzen AI is what AMD calls all of their latest gen laptop chips.

indeed, but it's still a bit new marketing for them, so maybe Hackernews readers assume it's related to copilot ?
