Lisa Gade reviews the GPD Pocket, a 7” mini Windows 10 laptop with an aluminum casing, full HD IPS display and a surprisingly responsive keyboard. It’s also available with Ubuntu Linux. This 1.1 lb. / 0.48 kg UMPC is 18.5mm thick and truly can fit in a large pocket or the palm of your hand, yet it packs as much power as a high end netbook. It has a quad core 1.6 GHz Intel x7-Z8750 CPU with Intel HD 405 graphics, 8GB LPDDR3 RAM, 128GB solid state storage, WiFi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1. This tiny laptop has surprisingly loud stereo speakers, a 1920 x 1200 IPS touch screen clad in Gorilla Glass 3. It comes with a smart size USB-C charger.

My girlfriend has to work on Excel and Word docs while on the train or bus. Because of her work she is travelling a lot and has to carry around a laptop. Showed it to her and she wants one because it will fit in her purse and she can leave the backpack at home. I can also see it for business use as some kind of PE. Taking notes at meetings, checking spreadsheets and docs on the go and not having to carry around a big laptop.
Review tor GDP Win1
build looks quite sturdy like a miniature macbook especially the hinge part…. i like it!
Hello, can you upgrade the ssd capacity to 512gb? Is it m.2 ssd? Thanks
if only my mom is so techie like you
Why is it so surprising? Surprising build, surprising keyboard, surprising quality,
I could use this with Linux and turn it into a portable hacking laptop
Pretty cool looking. Shame it’s way to expensive. For almost the same specs I got a linx1010b tablet with docking keyboard for £129
i wonder how swedish keyboard alphabet would work with that layout
this thing is getting way too much press
Right now I’m using a tablet to type this comment but I’m also using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. My tablet is on a stand and it is currently plugged into mains power. I use my tablet like a notebook PC. I think most people do this. So, any kind of small computing device running a full desktop OS would be great for me. It makes sense for some people. I guess I’m in the target demographic.
Had it been 2 inches longer I would have been a happy camper… Yeah walked right into that one… or no I didn’t I broke my nose instead I’ll stop it with the bad jokes. But had it been a 10 inch device I would have bought one hands down. It would come in great for me as an engineering student.
but can it run crysis!? no but seriously, if this thing can play starcraft 2… woah..
@MobileTechReview – “you know, Kim Dotcom’s company, Mega” … Kim Dotcom left Mega in mid 2015 and doesn’t have any involvement or authority there (he had a falling out with the board and started selling his shares). Mega isn’t the same service that MegaUpload was. It’s just a service like dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive, except with end-to-end zero-knowledge encryption similar to SpiderOak or Tresorit.
amazing laptop
i want one of these but the price is way too freaken high for what it is. Especially the linux version.
You can use it with USB 3.0 video capture hardware and run x86 software. So it’s better than a smart phone.
Reminds me of i-mate Jasjar. Pretty cool.
Awesome review Lisa!
it’s adorable…kinda reminds me of the oqo back in the day
for 499$, this device shouldve included:
– a screen that folded back 360′ into tablet mode
– unlocked 4g lte
btw, waiting for hdmi-in on a laptop to become a basic port
This looks like a device designed by Mickey Mouse.
Can u plz do a review for Lenovo Ideapad 320s
I’m on call 24/7, and this would be useful to carry around with me when I didn’t have my laptop, but it would need LTE built in to be really useful. Also 256gb SSD would be better.
I’d get this if I didn’t already have my Surface 3 (non-Pro).
Add Skype in and out and you have a device that is more functional than a smart phone and costs less than most.
…another Great review – as always!!!!
Hope I can get one in 3 years but with the ff specs:
1920×1200, 100% sRGB, calibrated out of the box
128 GB SSD
microSD
4 USBCs
$ 249
has more ports than a MacBook “pro” BURNNNNNN
A few years back I purchased a Lenovo Miix 2 8 with windows 8. At 8 inches and a windows 8 tablet I was very certain of the porability of the unit, but in order to use the thing… I had to also carry a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. *sigh* and on boot up many times the Lenovo would take a dump and forget how to connect to the keyboard and I would be unable to put in the windows 8 password to get past the sign in screen *sigh* so after trying various micro keyboards, micro mice, and a few different adapters I gave up on it and now use the Lenovo as a paper weight. This is what I have been searching for and hoping for for a long long time. There are many places I go where I would like to run a windows based program and there isn’t a lot of desk top space. I like being able to watch a youtube video on my phone while on a forklift, but it would be REALLY nice if I could make an animated gif or actually type something while on the go. Loved the Droid 4 phone… Am sad that the Droid 5 was cancelled. A++ would love to have a tablet sized windows based computer in my arsenal of gadgets. Thank you for this review it’s been very informative! 🙂
If it were fanless, easy buy. My Sony DPT won’t USB OTG with my phone and I need a PDF editor to shrink the PDF scans I make for the DPT, no app equivalent I can find. Also Workflowy mobile app is not as powerful as the desktop app. I like the small footprint and weight as well as a smartphone charging standard.
Lighter than the Surface 3 for sure. Could do a head-to-head with that.
Lenovo miix 320 please, its more interesting : )
