This would've been perfect for me when I did cable headend stuff. Mostly that serial port and the size, but that was 10 years ago. I suspect modern CMTS equipment doesn't use RS232 anymore, though. I guess this might be good for industrial equipment and such?
Not really sure why they decided to highlight the WASD-keys since it's certainly not suited for gaming, even if it was -- it's still a cheap look. Looks like a cool machine overall.
This looks like the modern version of the TRS-80 Model 100 from the 1980s. I sold a ton of 100s back then, must still be some gear with a serial port for admin., network or PBX maybe?
Would be nice if it accepted VGA, DP, and USB input, might make this thing useful on a server rack. Would need to bypass the OS. Serial is a good start though
hello, can you suggest a pen nib for this or where to purchase one? i've tried the xp pen nib and thinkpad pen nib. both dont work. and i cannot find any on the internet the official pen nib for the one netbook pen.
The trackpoint patent expired in 2017... This would be perfect if it had a thinkpad style trackpoint instead of a teeny tiny trackpad. That thing looks unusable.
The nipple is know to drift, even on flagship implementations like a ThinkPad. GPD has done that before by including a nipple on their Pocket product line, and the experience is not very pleasant to say at least.
@@bskull3232 I have not experienced nipple drift on any thinkpad model I've had after my t60. If you are experienced with the nipple to make quick movements this does not happen.
@@itsthem5699 Yes, making some moves does relieve the problem, I guess it triggered auto zero point calibration. But having to worry about this on its own is not very convenient, while an optical sensor is immune to this by design, though you lose the soft touch.
@@bskull3232 An optical sensor doesn't work well if you have gloves on, a trackpoint doesn't work well if you make sloooow movements. As long as you're snappy with it (as any power user automatically would be), it works perfectly. What I'm saying is, sure both setups have problems if you're using them incorrectly. Also, GPD's trackpoint offerings have been garbage primarily because of the positioning. On Thinkpads for example, the trackpoint is on the home row; this allows you to move the mouse and click with your thumbs, ALL WHILE KEEPING YOUR HANDS ON THE HOME ROW (for touch typing). This allows for immensely quicker and more comfortable transitions between typing and clicking things, which is fantastic for the power user. GPD completely missed the point (lol) of a trackpoint setup by putting the trackpoint below the keyboard. Trackpoints are fantastic but GPD and other Chinese manufacturers refuse to implement them correctly, leading to janky, frustrating experiences. They are the best mobile pointer input method but only when implemented properly.
@@itsthem5699 Well, I have to confess. I have a tendency of resting my finger on the trackpoint, that's why it always sees "slow" phantom movements from the nulling algorithm being tricked by my tiny inputs. You're right, for "fast movers" they do work great, but I guess it boils down to how different people use different things.
I'd love to see Android x86 on this just to experience how it runs. BlissOS offers a live session of Android, so you can boot it up just like a "normal" Linux distro. P.S. To get to the boot menu quicker, you just have to hold Shift while you press the Restart button in Windows
Yep. Some folks pointed out problems with the audio on the other version, so I did a quick edit an re-uploaded since RUclips doesn't let you edit an existing video once it's already been published.
I'm an engineer, but, I think I couldn't even afford a mini netbook like this one 😂
Better IO than any sub 15in freaking laptop in the last 3 years
This thig is fantastic! If you are thinking about buying one DO IT.
Finally a Mini laptop at a affordable price.
The keyboard is fine people types on phones
Great video

It would be a cool refresh for 2022~
I really wish the "/" key was in a better spot. I'm looking for an ultra portable ssh client with a good keyboard.
looks nice but that wrist strap is scary... hopefully the production version comes with something more hefty!

GPD mostly makes gaming devices, so they probably aren't used to developing hardware for professionals.

A lot of Cisco/Aruba/DellEMC/HPE network gear still requires RS232

GPD Pocket 3 have the same power? Or not?

love the wasd gaming keyboard XD
Really nice UMPC!
RS232 is really important in my line of work
Thanks for demonstrating Ubuntu. Do you know of any UMPCs from this company that run Ubuntu flawlessly? Thanks.
My A1 netbook pen tip nib broke. Do you have any idea where to find/buy replacement nibs?
very cute pc :)
0:39 apparently drones, 3d printers, flashdrives, hdmi tvs, etc are "really old hardware"
He's obviously talking about the RS232 port.

You should consider self hosting a network speed test solution. also omg I need one of these!
remind me of fujitsu u1010
Can you turn off tap to click?

The only thing its missing is internal storage for the stylus pen.
If this was 10" i'd buy it straight away.
have you tried this with thinkvision?
do you think this little computer can run CAD ?
repost..? Could have sworn this was uploaded earlier today.

Seems like a good effort, but seems to be missing a number of things.
How does this do against the GPD MicroPC?
the microPC had a useless keyboard. Like an old blackberry. stiff clicky keys. The A1 you can actually type on. I'm glad i got the A1.
One Netbook always copies GPD ideas; first the Pocket, then MiniPC and now WIN 3.
Copied, but did it better. This thing has a real keyboard compared to the MicroPC.
Can it run Arch?
Most likely
Ooooh
will anyone agree that if the width increase to A4's 21cm width, this will be perfect?
Bad review of stylus 😞
six hundred and fifty fucking dollars
A review of this expensive high tech machine and you watch movies and play with the keyboard. How very middle-school juvenile of you.
