I see this as a really good option for the IT admin who has to manage several various locations requiring physical travel throughout their workday. Or just to use to remote access machines.

The only true reason to have this is so you can lug it around in your backpack for a year so that when all your friends struggle with pulling out their over sized, shitty laptops you can pull it out of your backpack and laugh manically at them because of how impractical theirs are.

Actually the MacBook has 2 thunderbolt 3 and a headphone jack.you can use 2 8k monitors with just one of them . And it’s still slower than the MacBook Pro
@@GawrGaUwU Of course it's gonna be slower considering the sheer size difference. I do find it sad that the MacBook Pro only have USB-C ports though (and a headphone jack). I love USB-C but it's just not that common yet. If I'm not mistaken one of the reasons Apple gave for not including other ports was space. It does seem kind of absurd when you see this tiny laptop with full fledged ports. I'm guessing that actually the thickness is deciding factor not overall size.
@@sophiemohrle7318 also macbooks (or apple products)are crap.They are ripping you off with shitty designs or hardware(eg:ram amount on iphone,cooling system in macbook)oh and also although some of the hardwares are kinda decent,they charge you a tones of money which does nit worth it.
Lubuntu is also alright. It eats like 350 MB of RAM on the start, so it made my Core Duo "Solo" (1 core, 1 thread) with 4 GB of RAM actually somewhat usable as an emergency solution.
@@smuristan9811 I use centOS for most of my servers, but its convenient to have all the offensive security tools right there. It comes in handy when you want to test the security of a network you made. Im still learning networking but I want to get started on cyber sec so Kali comes in handy. My comment had little to no context, but I love how you can gain an understanding of my intelligence from one word. Nice.
Gotta say, i was a little worried about the future of GPD but dang if they don’t listen to their users! It’s awesome to see their improvements. I hope to continue seeing great things from these guys.
They don't though. This is an on-site hacking tool. It doesn't dual boot. It doesn't have an ethernet port. And the keyboard is unusable if you're male.
I've never actually bought a GPD device, but I've followed them for years (maybe over a decade?) I'm incredibly impressed by how they've continued to go along, and grow, where just about any other company would fail *hard.* I think it's because they listen to their users :)
The most of the buttons are reasonably sized for most people who don't have fat hands like yours and with that size the laptop, it's impossible to add ethernet port and kill the main point of this thing; portability.
@@TheAstronomyDude accutualy it's called reserch and development. I mean the beauty of gpd win 3 would be ruined if we stayed in clamp shell. Ofcourse it's a gaming handheld and a gaming handheld is portable.
I was skeptical of GPD back in the day..until I bought a GPD XD for portable emulation gaming. Ever since, I've been a fan of theirs..and they really got their act together.
I use mine to remotely administrate Unix servers while on the go. Mostly when I'm on the train to work and people are screaming into my ear that they can't login into their user session. Like they can't wait just 15 minutes until I enter the damn office. Anyway, this has replaced my BlackBerry as my go to device for SSH'ing into servers and it works wonderfully. I'm running Linux on mine as that is what I prefer, though I also have ChromeOS with Android support as it's second OS. The version I'm using is the Black, 8GB, 128GB, Intel M3, so it's faster than the Celeron version depicted on LTT.
IndieGoGo, not Kickstarter. And GPD is great for the most part, but not perfect. I own the Win 2 and I was an early backer. It is by far my favorite handheld. I've been enjoying playing GameCube, Wii, WiiU and 3DS emulators on it while being able to also use it as a legit PC for work.
Old post is old, but I am absolutely buying one of these in the hopefully not-too-distant future, waiting on an insurance payout from an old laptop that was damaged, and an even older laptop that was stolen but never claimed for. But I will be buying this, and repairing things on the MacBook. So I’d be happy to report back when I get one? It’ll be the 8GB m3.
This reminds me of my Compaq iPaq from back in the day. It’s not something you want to use all the time but it definitely has its uses and looks cool as hell

I already put my phone in the pocket when I try on pants, as smartphones are so big now that in some pants they stick or fall out or make the pants uncomfortable.
Same here. How manufacturers can even designs pants without smartphones in mind in this day & age is beyond me. Also what about the purse? who does not keep his purse in his pocket when on the go, especially in summer when you don't have a jacket to put your purse into it's pocket. Whenever I try on short pants and they have these tiny pockets, it has me really wondering, where the designers thought a man would want to put his purse. but I guess it wouldn't be fashion, if it was practical, right?...
if it is in lower power mode, why does the turbo boost still works? i dont think linus forget to turn low power mode off. if he did, he will realize later or someone will warn him before he edit/upload the video. but given the performance result i'd say the low power mode has been turned off. it sits at a right place, bit higher than the microsoft surface.
MarioFinale that could be, but usually in my laptop or phone low power/battery saving mode limit the CPU frequency. what i wanna know is why Carambal81 stated that the system is in low power mode. from my perspective the cinebench result is what one would expected from the spec of 4gb ram and intel haswell M series.
Look at the green LED next to the fan logo. He mentioned in the video that it has a low power mode and when he pressed the button the green LED was lit. It stays lit during the rest of the video and during the benchmarks.
You can set the sensitivity of the optical sensor higher, then you can cover the whole screen with one swipe. Concerning the mouse: good luck using a mouse when on the go/standing in line.
Yeah same.. 4th gen CPUs are still quite good though :).....what kind BTW. ....k? Can it be overclocked!?!? for you know....poopsandsmiles.... I bet it can play Half-Life2 and source... probably runs league of legends too...
@Trainboy1EJR i9 in a form factor like that is wishful thinking to begin with. All i9's laptops that thin have similar thermal issues. Now he said better cooling solution than macbook and I ask how is different if its the same. From your point of view a better cooling solution is using a dual-core CPU, which is not related to the cooling solution to begin with.
@@bogdanlazar5907 Since cooling is inherently tied to the environment, in this case the cpu, it is a valid statement. The SAME cooling solution in a REALISTIC environment... sensible, no? I'd call that better. I don't know about you, but I'd say inverting my window cooling unit to cool my patio would be a poor cooling solution when compared to using it to cool my room.
John Becker Yeah, playing on a subpar machine makes you really good at the game. When you finally move to a machine with decent performance you really feel like a god, and get performance to match.
No, he's not wrong. But it would only works for someone that did actually play well on a shitty machine. I had a guildmate that after years of raiding he suddenly said that his ball mouse broke. He's been using this old ass computer with hardly a couple fps for years. He was always one of our most consistent players (aka, he didn't fuck up, and played well).
the cool thing about your commercials or sponsors is there all computer/tech stuff which is what your viewers are into, thus I enjoy and look forward to what you sponsor as I believe you just don't sponsor anything, only things of value...this works great for me as a viewer and for a company like Origin PC as they get a audience of like minded computer people that focus on quality...your a Genius.
I think the biggest deal with 7th gen is the improved efficiency in video decoding. If you have downloaded files on your PC, battery life should be quite a bit stronger. Edit: decoding, not deciding
This is something I would find myself buying once released. Just imagine the future of this kind of technology. In just around 10 more years, we'll have computers this size that can run the game we have now at a good framerate.
Our original GPD Pocket is performing well as a service tool for remote VHF repeater sites we have to hike in to. Weight, size and a reasonable amount of ruggedness are more of a consideration than performance in this case. The Surface was too bendy and bulky and Toughbooks weigh a tonne.
I've never checked. Long enough to hike for a day with it off, do a 30 minute configuration job (at temperatures below 4 deg. C) then switch it off and hike to a refuge hut where there's solar power to plug it in to and watch movies. Though one time Windows 10 woke it up while it was on charge at the office. Must have stayed on trying to connect while I was walking for the day. Got to the site and found the PC battery flat. Fortunately I had a 12 charger I could jumper off the radio batteries.
Ok, this Logo, is better than last....but it's the colours... Linus, you spoiled us. Think this Logo design, but with Orange background & Black Letters; or maybe Orange background with White Letters with the letters having a white boarder? Either way, do like this colour scheme better, as it fits LMG. That said, the Orange & Black scheme is the LMG/LTT beginning colour scheme & what we all came to love..... Up to you though Linus.😊 Cheers, A👍🏻👍🏻
While I did kind of appreciate the puzzle aspect to their old new logo (though admittedly potentially less recognizability), I'd agree and am not particularly fond of the of raw orange on white color scheme. I think white text on orange has some good potential, the white outline on the text might make it look a little to busy but I agree. ;P
I like your idea and the double-new logo, although it would be cool if they could add green to the logo as a tribute to Nvidia while still managing to not make the logo ugly. But l don't know if my idea would work in the slightest.
It's kinda hard to see, but I think that led is always on and changes color to indicate fan mode. If you check during the Tomb Raider benchmark it was white, but when he changes to silent it goes greenish. During the cinebench run it was green as well, so it was in silent mode. I may be mistaken, though, as it's hard to see, so Linus will have to check this himself. edit: it's green rather than blue. Can see clearly at 10:18 @4k res.
For anything like that, which uses a type-C USB connection, I suggest you try a docking station, like a Dell Universal Dock 6000. that might bring a lot of expand-ability to one of those handy devices.
Imagine if it had a dedicated ethernet port. Like that collapsed ethernet port seen on some ultrabooks could fit. Put in a modem for LTE and boom. Perfect portable windows machine for a tech.
maybe they could add a "dock" with the extra ports and added battery that it attaches to. It looses the "pocket" feature, but could be very handy! Full size ethernet, HDMI, serial port, additional 4000mAh battery and you've got something I could actually get behind.
Not sure if I can picture what you're describing, but if you're willing to give up the "pocket" feature, couldn't you just opt for a normal-sized laptop instead?
Ubuntu Maté 18.04 just came out for the pocket and pocket 2. Runs great on both. Especially the pocket 2 really stands out without all the background windows garbage running.
8:57 XD I need that scream for anything inconvenient that happens while playing games with friends! Would be perfect when getting ganked in For Honor lol
8:38 Linus turns off the fan. (The LED lights up.) 9:56 He benchmarks it that way... (The LED is still lit up.) Edit: 13:07 He realizes it. @LTT, could you please post the Cinebench score with the fan turned on? :)

@@andrewyork3869 sometimes, as a sysadmin...you have to take your 'hardware' to the problem to do diagnosis etc. Big corporations still run Win95 and desktops that, require the human touch and or, have a reboot done there in person. This little device is easier to carry around for that purpose along with a tool kit, cords, lights, parts of various types et al. Even tho the keyboard is cramped, for the small amount of time one uses it, its a lot easier than trying to carry around something bigger and more weighty.
7:30 Glorious PC gaming* race Can we get a review of their Gaming Mechanical Modular Keyboard? (GMMK) I'm interested because you can just plop switches out and hot-swap i.e. your MX browns to blues
Switching keys doesn't take long anyway. Theres no point. You only have to solder and desolder two contacts per key. No matter how slow you are, not gonna take you over an hour. And you not gonna switch they keys that often.
Bit skeptical about his claim that “a short time ago it wasn’t even possible to build a computer in a form factor like this“ given that we’ve absolutely had this before, in the mid- to late 2000s with stuff like the OQO devices...
When typing while standing with one hand, use the onehandkeyboard Software. This software mirrors the keys from the right side of the keyboard to the left side when holding spacebar down, thus allowing you to touch type with only one hand. You adapt pretty quickly. Try it out.
That *would* be genius. My approach to this product in the first generation was to make it foldable, allowing you to convert it into a small tablet. The device's usability would go through the roof like that.

What about phones?
the optical sensor may not be good, but extra usb port = plug in mouse.
djkaye youtube I was thinking that too. I’d probably do that if I had that laptop.
or external ssd
Also a proper keyboard, not a fan of the form factor of the machine, but I can see what they're trying to achieve and I'm impressed.
You can set the sensitivity of the optical sensor higher, then you can cover the whole screen with one swipe.
Concerning the mouse: good luck using a mouse when on the go/standing in line.
Late Blackberry Bolds had a similar sensor-pointer, it worked quite well.
Haswell is 7th gen?
Isn't Kaby Lake is the 7th gen?
Linus? Go home you are drunk.
lol oops
Go drunk you're home
i caught that to, haswell is 4th lol
Yeah same.. 4th gen CPUs are still quite good though :).....what kind BTW. ....k? Can it be overclocked!?!? for you know....poopsandsmiles.... I bet it can play Half-Life2 and source... probably runs league of legends too...
@@LinusTechTips Also it isn't a quadcore like you said early in the video :D
Better cooling solution than Macbooks
How's better if it's the same?
Your right, it is the same, except this is a dual-core mobile processor and not an i9, so this is actually an adequate cooling solution!
@Trainboy1EJR i9 in a form factor like that is wishful thinking to begin with. All i9's laptops that thin have similar thermal issues. Now he said better cooling solution than macbook and I ask how is different if its the same. From your point of view a better cooling solution is using a dual-core CPU, which is not related to the cooling solution to begin with.
He is referring to the Macbook 12" not the pro. That Macbook has the core M 5th and 6th gen processor and doesn't have a fan at all
@@bogdanlazar5907 Since cooling is inherently tied to the environment, in this case the cpu, it is a valid statement.
The SAME cooling solution in a REALISTIC environment... sensible, no? I'd call that better.
I don't know about you, but I'd say inverting my window cooling unit to cool my patio would be a poor cooling solution when compared to using it to cool my room.
I love the way Linis reviews anything in his videos. Feels both energetic and excitement.
That’s like 15-25 FPS I’ve had 10 FPS before on my trash laptop and you can’t even move straight
I played overwatch at 10 fps at min settings for 1 year...
You get good at predicting where people are going to be in the next slide
John Becker Yeah, playing on a subpar machine makes you really good at the game. When you finally move to a machine with decent performance you really feel like a god, and get performance to match.
@@login0false that's what poor people tell themselves because they're poor. You get better because you're using a good machine
No, he's not wrong. But it would only works for someone that did actually play well on a shitty machine.
I had a guildmate that after years of raiding he suddenly said that his ball mouse broke. He's been using this old ass computer with hardly a couple fps for years. He was always one of our most consistent players (aka, he didn't fuck up, and played well).
@@kindlin yes, exactly, using a good machine makes you better
This actually seems like a good purchase, unlike some other stuff we've seen lately.
What kind of sorcery is this!?
the cool thing about your commercials or sponsors is there all computer/tech stuff which is what your viewers are into, thus I enjoy and look forward to what you sponsor as I believe you just don't sponsor anything, only things of value...this works great for me as a viewer and for a company like Origin PC as they get a audience of like minded computer people that focus on quality...your a Genius.
Thanks Apple. When I look at the top of the GPD, I always think touchbar.
Yup
it actually resembles a macbook-like chassis lol eww
"These are Haswell cores"
"7th Gen cores".
Wat?
I was searching for this comment.
@John Dough 😂😂
Time and time again Linus shows how clueless he is about hardware.
it's cause Intel's generation to generation improvements are so miniscule so 7th gen is basically as good as 4th
I think the biggest deal with 7th gen is the improved efficiency in video decoding. If you have downloaded files on your PC, battery life should be quite a bit stronger.
Edit: decoding, not deciding
This is something I would find myself buying once released. Just imagine the future of this kind of technology. In just around 10 more years, we'll have computers this size that can run the game we have now at a good framerate.
Lol Linus likes to touch the nipple mouse

Our original GPD Pocket is performing well as a service tool for remote VHF repeater sites we have to hike in to. Weight, size and a reasonable amount of ruggedness are more of a consideration than performance in this case. The Surface was too bendy and bulky and Toughbooks weigh a tonne.
How long does the battery last man?
Awesome. Glad to see people are finding uses for these machines.
I've never checked. Long enough to hike for a day with it off, do a 30 minute configuration job (at temperatures below 4 deg. C) then switch it off and hike to a refuge hut where there's solar power to plug it in to and watch movies. Though one time Windows 10 woke it up while it was on charge at the office. Must have stayed on trying to connect while I was walking for the day. Got to the site and found the PC battery flat. Fortunately I had a 12 charger I could jumper off the radio batteries.
9:40 Who missed me?
I did!!! 📎
Video and comment both get a thumbs up for Clippy!

Oh the nostalgia. And no is the answer.
*Once you get pretty good with it, you get pretty good*

It's a cross-promotion.

Ok, this Logo, is better than last....but it's the colours... Linus, you spoiled us.
Think this Logo design, but with Orange background & Black Letters; or maybe Orange background with White Letters with the letters having a white boarder? Either way, do like this colour scheme better, as it fits LMG. That said, the Orange & Black scheme is the LMG/LTT beginning colour scheme & what we all came to love.....
Up to you though Linus.😊
Cheers, A👍🏻👍🏻
While I did kind of appreciate the puzzle aspect to their old new logo (though admittedly potentially less recognizability), I'd agree and am not particularly fond of the of raw orange on white color scheme. I think white text on orange has some good potential, the white outline on the text might make it look a little to busy but I agree. ;P
I like your idea and the double-new logo, although it would be cool if they could add green to the logo as a tribute to Nvidia while still managing to not make the logo ugly. But l don't know if my idea would work in the slightest.
Personally, I preferred the logo prior to the previous logo.
Am I watching Linus or Buffalo Wild Wings PC?
200th like 😋
Linus: “Computer in your pocket!”
Me: I think there’s this thing called a smartphone
This device looks like it was designed in the early 2000s
Nah, its not gloss plastic
@@murphy7801 neither was the PSION Series 5 which this really reminds me of.
Nah it's missing that bulbous look, this thing just looks like the words Windows 8
Did you do cinebench on silent mode? Re-run plz!!
The fan led is on 10:42
It's kinda hard to see, but I think that led is always on and changes color to indicate fan mode. If you check during the Tomb Raider benchmark it was white, but when he changes to silent it goes greenish. During the cinebench run it was green as well, so it was in silent mode. I may be mistaken, though, as it's hard to see, so Linus will have to check this himself.
edit: it's green rather than blue. Can see clearly at 10:18 @4k res.
@@danannnnnn I'm watching on my phone. Can't see that.
For anything like that, which uses a type-C USB connection, I suggest you try a docking station, like a Dell Universal Dock 6000. that might bring a lot of expand-ability to one of those handy devices.
Technicians lives just got a billion times easier
Imagine if it had a dedicated ethernet port. Like that collapsed ethernet port seen on some ultrabooks could fit. Put in a modem for LTE and boom. Perfect portable windows machine for a tech.
D B man, that device is thinner than ethernet jack
Does it need a dedicated ethernet port? I use ethernet to USB adapters, not sure if there's any downside to them.
maybe they could add a "dock" with the extra ports and added battery that it attaches to. It looses the "pocket" feature, but could be very handy! Full size ethernet, HDMI, serial port, additional 4000mAh battery and you've got something I could actually get behind.
Not sure if I can picture what you're describing, but if you're willing to give up the "pocket" feature, couldn't you just opt for a normal-sized laptop instead?
8:35 *"It's definitely audible"* sponsored?
Haha! That made my day!
you got a new music guy ? nice touch there. i like it. good musical choice (around 12:30 )
*_But can it run CRYSIS?_*
Francisco Santos
Actually, yeah.
I know the joke, and all. But it runs the game at decent graphics.
You're old!
Mike Jameson dang now this is really an interesting device!
Can it run crysis in full spec
@CountryfiedLinux do you know the joke orrrr
Sees the lack of extra keys: screams in ARMA-nese
sounds like it would be a great device for a writer to research and work on their manuscript. You got me to thinking about getting one.
Ubuntu Maté 18.04 just came out for the pocket and pocket 2. Runs great on both. Especially the pocket 2 really stands out without all the background windows garbage running.
Haswell CPU Cores in 7th gen? What did you do to this poor computer?
8:57 XD I need that scream for anything inconvenient that happens while playing games with friends! Would be perfect when getting ganked in For Honor lol
I thought he would say something about the raspberry pi 3
8:38 Linus turns off the fan. (The LED lights up.)
9:56 He benchmarks it that way... (The LED is still lit up.)
Edit: 13:07 He realizes it.
@LTT, could you please post the Cinebench score with the fan turned on? :)
This reminds me of my Compaq iPaq from back in the day. It’s not something you want to use all the time but it definitely has its uses and looks cool as hell
6:30 - While we wait for that to load up though, lets talk about what we might expect and what kind of specs there are in here... * meanwhile flips computer over and begins to unscrew bottom panel* - Only at LTT
Hmmm....
I like the older logo better. Seemed more wacky and crazy, and fit the channel more as this channel isn’t some serious business one color shit

I don't feel so good Mr Sebastian...
Your new logo reminds me of KitKat
As a user who has a GPD2 in their hands now, It's an interesting little machine. I got 193 in cinebench on the production 8gb version.
Your logo now looks like a Cereal Brand Logo :)
How so? it looks more of a shopping mart then a brand of cerial
They should add (or try to add) a touch screen on the pocket 3 just realised it does
Thank u so much linus I’m totally going to buy it now I really needed this thx man 🙏☺️
Would make an awesome network-management machine
Nxt Puny I Agee with you, it definitely would.
put linux on it? this could be a sysadmin's wet dream (one that has to move around a lot anyway)
Frosty ~ that's what I was thinking as well. :) Probably run a little faster too!
@@juliannaaka-babayega8941 I don't follow....
@@andrewyork3869 Linux is a lighter-weight operating system than Microsoft. The smaller size of the equipment is easier to move around large buildings and offices.
@@juliannaaka-babayega8941 I got all that, but what I don't get is why be moving around any equipment that does not need be? SSH is a option, plus I get hand cramps just watching him type on that thing. A 12in laptop was too small for me to type with both hands on. I can't see this being any better.
@@andrewyork3869 sometimes, as a sysadmin...you have to take your 'hardware' to the problem to do diagnosis etc. Big corporations still run Win95 and desktops that, require the human touch and or, have a reboot done there in person. This little device is easier to carry around for that purpose along with a tool kit, cords, lights, parts of various types et al. Even tho the keyboard is cramped, for the small amount of time one uses it, its a lot easier than trying to carry around something bigger and more weighty.
7:20 Um no? Haswell is 4th gen. From what I've gathered from their website, yes it is 7th gen (CPU m3-7y30) but that is not haswell.

Can we get a review of their Gaming Mechanical Modular Keyboard? (GMMK)
I'm interested because you can just plop switches out and hot-swap i.e. your MX browns to blues
Switching keys doesn't take long anyway. Theres no point. You only have to solder and desolder two contacts per key. No matter how slow you are, not gonna take you over an hour. And you not gonna switch they keys that often.
Bit skeptical about his claim that “a short time ago it wasn’t even possible to build a computer in a form factor like this“ given that we’ve absolutely had this before, in the mid- to late 2000s with stuff like the OQO devices...
this is actually better than my actually computer

When typing while standing with one hand, use the onehandkeyboard Software. This software mirrors the keys from the right side of the keyboard to the left side when holding spacebar down, thus allowing you to touch type with only one hand. You adapt pretty quickly. Try it out.
Wouldnt it be genius if they put a clicky trackpad on the back of the pc so you could you your extra fingers to move the move while holding it?
Seems like everyone looks at PS Vita and thinks "no, that was a flop, it's not worth the hassle". That thing wasn't clickable tho iirc
That *would* be genius. My approach to this product in the first generation was to make it foldable, allowing you to convert it into a small tablet. The device's usability would go through the roof like that.
That’s a whole lot of *damage*
How is this still funny? Even wrong use.
"it's not about the size of the pocket but the man wearing the pocket"

Now imagine installing a lightweight gnu/linux distro on it with a keyboard-based wm/desktop environment! The speed and usability!

I don't really get the need for this, just get the gpd win with built in game controller plus pc functionality. I think this is even more expensive
for dragging, there is another left click mouse which u can hold down so u can lift up your finger and continue to drag to the direction u want
I'm shopping around for some older netbooks as dragging a full-sized laptop around just to do remote server maintenance is impractical and tiring. This seems like a nice solution. But I won't bother with stock OS and I'll result to Arch linux because one, gotta look like I'm hacking in i3wm and two, Windows gives me a headache.
Just get a Chromebook if ur putting Linux on it anyway
They sell an Ubuntu version
I think you should do a test to see how many words Linux says in one day, compared to "normal" people. We like Linus, but he's certainly not normal ;)
Dude! I just purchased the VPN you advertised, and it turned out to be the best I could have gotten. Great reviews everywhere I looked. $29.00 for a year with 10 devices? It's a no brainer!
