The GPD Pocket Mini Laptop is a tiny Windows laptop (or maybe it’s a palmtop) with a 7-inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel touchscreen display, an Intel Atom x7-Z8750 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of eMMC storage. GPD ran a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for the tiny computer earlier this year and it was a sell out as over $3.5 million was realised in funding. Perhaps, you don’t like spending money on a device that won’t ship for months, now is the time to get it in just a few days time. It is now available at Walmart at just $479.99.
The compact Windows 10 laptop features a 7,000 mAh battery, a USB 3.0 Type-C port, a USB 3.0 Type-A port, a micro HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, a speaker and mic and 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1. It measures about 180×106×18.5mm and weighs about 1.1 pounds (0.480kg). Despite the computer’s low-power processor, there is a small fan inside the case to help keep the system from overheating.
While there’s a QWERTY keyboard, the keys are a bit smaller than those on a typical laptop. And instead of a touchpad, there’s a pointing stick and two buttons for moving a mouse cursor. The GPD Pocket comes from the same company that produces the GPD Win handheld Windows gaming PC. The new model swaps out the dedicated gaming buttons for a larger keyboard and display, making it more of a tiny laptop and less of a mobile game system.
But like the GPD Win, the new GPD Pocket features full Windows 10 software and an Intel Atom X7-Z8750 Quad Core 1.6GHz processor that should be good enough for basic computing tasks. The processor is backed by an 8GB RAM which makes this tiny, ultra-portable laptop a potential powerhouse. So, if you want the comfort of using your laptop anywhere without any hassle with transporting it or fitting it into that compact travelling bag you’ve got, then get this now for just $479.99 using the buy button below.
