It looks like HP just announced the equivalent of a dark themed Pi 500 Plus.Also, a dark themed Pi 500+ (black/grey), and some fun keycap sets (or links to approved ones). I don't ask much

That keyboard has a built-in Ryzen AI processor. It doesn't have a full-size HDMI port but USB-C rather than micro HDMI. It's not really a clone, but still.
From what I understood the market is for digital nomads who connect an external monitor, mouse and keyboard to a company provided laptop and want their workspace back. A keyboard computer could have the same software preconfigured by IT support but increases flexibility by not including a vestigial built-in screen or trackpad.
While the current Pi 500 Plus appears designed for a different market, it would not take much effort to remove the enthusiast lighting and colour it black. One would still need the enterprise sales team and solutions provider.
Personally, I like the LED lights.
