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

Re: HP Reveals Keyboard Computer with Ryzen AI Chip
#62I actually love the concept. It's effectively like the iMac, except more flexible and serviceable - great for kiosks and shared workstations. One could also couple it with AR glasses like the XREAL One and have portable computing but more immersive (although it looks a little big for that). I don't understand the scepticism - surely it's good that we see some experimentation again on the form factor of computing, we…
> great for kiosks and shared workstations. Absolutely not. For a kiosk, I want everything the user is touching to be effectively disposable. Keyboards and mice are cheap and trivial to replace, this design integrates the most important part of the system in to one of the easiest parts to damage/steal. It's possibly the worst way to do a kiosk. For a shared workstation, likewise if I'm the user I want to be able to b…

Or built like a tank that is easy to powerwash.

As someone who's wrangled IT in college libraries before, that's slightly unfair - they do have a Kensington lock for the keyboard.
It's locking up the rest of the cables that'll be the issue, as well as a preference for ethernet. Mice and ethernet cables were stolen the most... inevitably the mice ending making cheapo Chromebooks less miserable, and the ethernet cables ended up at LAN parties.
The users we trusted got laptops anyway.

#64I don't think I am ever buying another HP product. I've had enough with their office PCs and printers

#65Incorrectly advertising battery capacity as 32W instead of (presumably) 32WH is a hilarious mistake for a company the size of HP
I mean at least they didn't use mah. I am surprised it actually have a battery in it I thought you would have to plug it in to use it.
The battery is optional, and from the ad copy not intended to power active “use” only moving between different (presumably nearby) work locations without shutting down (probably sleep.)

I don't understand the advantages of this over a laptop (this is essentially laptop-grade hardware and thermal profile but without the screen & battery).
Companies often have flex offices with docking stations. So previously you would have a screen, mouse and keyboard at every desk and people would move a laptop (ignoring its low res screen and bad keyboard). Here you would have just a screen at every desk and people move their mouse and keyboard. Also, this does have a battery.
> Also, this does have a battery.
It has an “Optional...internal battery” that “lets you go between workspaces without rebooting”.

#67> Launch Microsoft Copilot in Windows with a touch of the Copilot key,4 to write content, analyze data, and stay organized. Oh thank goodness. This whole product idea is further trying to gatekeep computing hardware. You will pay a cloud subscription to perform anything remotely computationally taxing.
> You will pay a cloud subscription to perform anything remotely computationally taxing. What’s wrong with that?
The inevitable price hikes once they've killed the local PC?

#68So it's a laptop, without display. Can I attach my own keyboard? From the pictures, I get the impression the keyboard sucks.

It's got USB so I'm sure you could.

Concentration of compute will be used as a vehicle for further concentration of power and wealth.
Nah by then the collapse of jobs will have freed up 10s of millions with access to guns. Lots of guns.
People are being shot in the face right now by the government and the people who own the most guns are cheering them on. Guns won't solve this.
