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")

The battery + thermals give you either a large cube (like a Beelink++) or cigarette carton. It's wise to go with a cigarette carton and include a keyboard.

Especially since remote work took off, offices are full of vacant workstations. Why drag a small monitor around when you can hook into a 32'' monitor at the office?

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