Love it! Just bad timing, I just moved all my production to ipad pro and plan on replacing my phone with a LEM4 PRO smart watch and cellular enabled ipad mini. no more room in my pocket for pocket PCs. :(
This is a type of device that I'd really like to see more competition come up to knock out these boutique pricing schemes. I'd love to have something like that, but at that price... no way. And I really don't understand the intermixing of low to high end components in products like these. A plain 1080p or even 720p display would've been more than enough. But I guess this logic doesn't apply... seems products like these are targetted at other markets.
Can't wait until you've done a lot of testing and being able to give a nice full review of it. But so far I've looked on the previous versions of the manufacturer, and size and so is really speaking to me. I have a laptop 15",but rarely use it coz of its size etc. This one I think would do fine for me,do normal easier stuff like paying bills,watching movies etc.
I was laughing at the price because the Chuwi MiniBook hit IGG today with what looks like a better keyboard layout and I think one more port. But then you mentioned its screen resolution and that shut me up -- because my jaw dropped! Look forward to your review.
for me it's exactly the contrary, the keyboard on the Chuwi looks very much like a bigger version of the crappy keyboard on my GPD1, while this looks much better. And the resolution is just stupid. These devices have all short battery life to begin with. Full-HD is more than enough in such a small display, it's hard to tell the difference and this will certainly cut one hour of an already short battery life
@@mikecane when it worked properly, around 3 hours of continuous use, now it's become unreliable and it shuts down even after a short while. This is because GPD put no overcharging protection, so when you leave it plugged in t continues to stress the battery instead of using just the power supply... it's an issue of many chinese laptops that seems to have been corrected in the pocket 2
Hello! What is the refresh rate of the screen, and is flicker noticeable? And yet, when connecting an external TV via the HDMI interface, what is the maximum screen resolution supported?
I hope the catch on so the price comes down. I still use an Acer GZ5. I was going to put an SBC (new RPi-3 looks awesome) in it when it craps out but it still works good enough.
This is very interesting to me, since I have a very specific use for devices like this for warehouse software I am developing. Price is a bit steep though
I am looking forward to your tests of the battery life. Also I would love you to test stand-by time (like if you leave it on stand-by over night, how much will it discharge). I am interesting in upgrading my GPD 1, which I have to say it's a crappy device. So far I have moved to ipad mini 5 with LTE and brydge keyboard. Works great. I would love to have Windows, and the fact that you said that the keyboard is decent is great news, but if battery life is 3 hours like the GPD, no thanks. It's the make or break factor for me... The resolution is just stupid. Full hd is more than enough in such a small display, it's hard to tell the difference anyway and this will certainly cut one hour (or more) of an already short battery life... But some people buy the marketing crap of crazy high PPI so One netbook decided to go with this crap... Another thing that makes me hesitant is the lack of LTE. I love it so much on my mini 5...
Ah, so I had to scroll down to see what your GPD battery life is. I didn't know there was a Brydge keyboard for the iPad Mini 5. I'll have to look that up. Thanks.
@@mikecane it's the same brydge keyboard I had for the mini 4, since they have the same body. It's amazingly good. And it's a "full" keyboard, with all keys in the right place. The GPD1 was horrible. These are better but still have some out of place keys and some missing keys. This can be less of an issue for Americans, but here in Europe the misplaced or missing keys are essential keys (by the way I use stickers to convert the keyboard)
You have other models with 10 inch screen! Like from Lenovo for example. This is a niche device after all. Some people just want a Windows device in a super portable form factor..
10" device won't fit in to my man bag that I always carry with me when travelling for work or holiday. Having a compact & capable device means I don't have to carry a bigger bag and travel light.
@@bombayj1258 True! That's the point. They just need to improve on the battery life of these devices... I wonder if they will ever use ARM on Windows so that battery life can be extended 🤔
The optical mouse is the worst part of it. Now that I have the device I would not recommend it. It's too expensive to have a mouse that behaves as it does. I paid for all components to work out of the box
I would difinitely purchase if the price is around 400 or below... price is very high acc to spec and capacity... portability is not the most valued feature! Anyone rather buy mac laptop for this price!!
I got the GPD Pocket 2, regularly creating & editing music on it using Cubase, FL12, several other DAWs, etc.. There's a catch though, you should really plan ahead of what are you gonna do..
Looks like its in that weird 'middle' zone, where its too small to be a proper laptop but too big to be pocket friendly. I think at this size most people are gonna be needing a laptop bag for it and at that point a standard laptop is gonna be better and cheaper. The original gpd win was the correct size, 3ds size, perfect pocket carry.
What a shame this is not a 7" device :( I like more the "pocketable" size. It looks so cool!
Love it! Just bad timing, I just moved all my production to ipad pro and plan on replacing my phone with a LEM4 PRO smart watch and cellular enabled ipad mini. no more room in my pocket for pocket PCs. :(
11 or 12.9 inch iPad pro? I'm thinking about doing the same and using it as my main device.

@@_Digitalguy What battery life does your GPD get?

@@_Digitalguy Wow. Overcharge protection being ignored is incredible. And 3 hours is terrible.
The one I would get is 900 :(. They have a Core m3, 16gb and 512gb SSD.....VERY Impressive laptop though I like these micro laptops for travel.
Is it work with ms word and office..?

Would be interesting to run MacOS on this!!
The Price is too high 😩
I personally would not mind a cheaper AMD APU version with a more basic 1080p screen running something like Manjaro Linux with Budgie desktop.
Instant drop in battery life
It's been 1 year , do you still have it is there any problem with it
Hi hello bro. Tell me, can i use ms office in thus pc.? Especially ms word.?
- Karthi Davinci (writer)
$1,250 to expensive..
Maybe around $500 I would buy..
Is there small laptops like this but cheaper??
Is a windows laptop..
Better then apple iOS iPad?
Does the keys tay on for 10-12 seconds before it turns off?
Is it build in hdmi cable?
This is very interesting to me, since I have a very specific use for devices like this for warehouse software I am developing.
Price is a bit steep though
Any idea where to put the second additional ssd ?
Can u stream movies?
Netflix
CZcams?
Can u play games?
Build in cam??
Does this have a webcam?
Also i can wait for gpd win 2 max
Is it bios or uefi , does it boot from USB ?
If it used a ryzen embedded or it would be a fantastic device for real work on the road.
How much..????
I really love the idea of having a device that is 360 but the price of this is crazy! And the Chuwi keyboard looks terrible.
No 4G LTE ????
It's an intel processor.
Looks nice
Would be nice to see some Linux distro running on it and test the Wi-Fi capability in distance coverage and bandwith (speedtest)
Best
can it run blender 2.8 ?
Try some linux distro on it
battery life, the most important aspect
I agree maybe 6/8 hours life expectation? ,I’m interested at platinum i7 with pen perfect for my job
It has all I need touch screen windows 10 16 gigs 512 gigs of ssd and pencil if only the price would be little cheap it would be ok
Ubuntu?
The sort of mouse pad look a little bit better for gaming

@@_Digitalguy Thanks much!
Please test Linux on it, thank you for sharing video
yeeees please test linux, if possible, two partitions
No pocket fitting test....
How do you fix the flashing screen?
I have this same computer and the screen does not flash must be the camera picking up the hertz rate.
Sad no camera😔
In my opinion, 10" is the minimum these devices should have. Windows 10 on
It needs to be below 10" so W10 is free. But yeah, A 9.6" or 9.8" version would be great to see.

Cute! But I don't want to spend that much for cute.

Better to use LENOVO YOGA
Bad review
