Discover the latest accessible tech trends from CES 2026, including HP’s groundbreaking EliteBoard G1 keyboard PC, Dell’s refreshed XPS laptops, and the growing challenges of RAM shortages caused by AI demand. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss how these innovations impact blind users, why some “accessible” products miss the mark, and the surprising rise of computer-in-a-keyboard devices.

In this Double Tap episode, Steven and Shaun break down the biggest headlines from CES in Las Vegas. They explore HP’s EliteBoard G1, a full PC built into a keyboard, and discuss why it could be a game-changer for blind users looking for portable, all-in-one solutions. The conversation also covers Dell’s XPS revival with physical function keys, the looming PC price hikes due to RAM shortages, and the growing demand for AI-ready devices.

The hosts also critique accessibility in mainstream tech, highlighting frustrations with Elgato and RØDE software and the difference between intentional and accidental accessibility. Listener emails bring personal stories about guide dog training, BitLocker workarounds, and voice assistant tips for iPhone and Android.
