GPD is almost single-handedly responsible for reviving the UMPC market. (LPDDR4x-4266, but the Pentium N6000 SoC limits speeds to 2933 MHz) It sells for $1000 during crowdfunding and that’s the version I’ve been testing, and it has the horsepower of a high-performance thin and light laptop stuffed into a compact design half the size of a typical model. The second version features an Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. The first is a cheaper model with a $650 starting price (during crowdfunding) and an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 low-power processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. GPD is offering two different configurations. The GPD Pocket 3 is up for pre-order through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, and it’s expected to begin shipping in January, 2022. It’s the latest device from GPD, one of a handful of Chinese companies that have revived the dream of the UMPC (ultra mobile PC) by delivering a series of tiny laptops and handheld computers in recent years, and I’ve been testing a pre-production prototype for the past few weeks and it makes a pretty compelling case that there’s still room for UMPCs in a world where they’ve largely been supplanted by tablets. There’s also a highly unusual feature: a modular design that lets you swap out one of the USB ports for other I/O options. The GPD Pocket 3 is a small but versatile mini-laptop computer with an 8 inch display that supports pen and touch input, a swivel hinge that lets you fold the screen down over the keyboard for use in tablet mode, a backlit keyboard that’s just big enough for touch typing, and support for up to an Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor.
