I love the implications of the KVM module. It would allow you to diagnose a physical server or client without it being online or remotely accessible. That seems very useful to me.

This reminds me of those early 2000's tablet PC's that used to have swivel screens which rotate and fold back on the device. Was very popular among brands such as Dell XT, Toshiba Portege, HP TX, Fujitsu T series and so on....
OHHHH that swap out serial plug is awesome! That and the form factor would be perfect for sessions in front of comms / server racks plugged directly into infrastructure.
How has the device behaved in the year of usage? The battery on mine swell up and I have to get a replacement battery to make it work. Do you use it regularly? If yes, do you keep it plugged in?
Sad to see they went a completely different direction with the Pocket 3 than the Pocket 2. I was hoping for a competitor to the One Netbook Mix 4, not the A1. Should be called something else.
Has anyone been able to get Mac OS working on one of these ? Not being emulated but being the main OS ? Id love to get one of these if i could have Mac OS that runs well and isnt an emulation.
@@Camhin1 not at all the same thing if you use it regularly, destroys the battery on your phone, especially if you have a small one (and then you also need to remember to turn if off after you are finished)
@@AnTran147 GPD has always been stubbornly against cellular, saying that their device are not "mobile devices"... as if cellular on laptops was not a thing...
@artist unkown It is, this thing is all about maximum portability, why should I carry an additional phone? There are other small devices that don't weight much more than this and have LTE...
nice, cool little thing this is useful size for many technical uses. i am very interested about the quality of the hinge i have another GPD mini here and after not much use the hinge is broken. also i am interested if and how it works with linux
I don't really understand specific specs. But am I right to assume this device can handle programs like Studio One (music production) and Krita (digital drawing)? Or are there any better small options for this - specifically with two USB-A?
Which one would you say is better and more comfortable for heavy consuming media/youtube watch/podcast plus random use? Which one would you say is more manageable and easy to use and has more battery life? Thanks a lot
From what I've seen so far the HDMI just looks like a camera input to software and I think the USB port overrides hardware control on the keyboard and mouse so usable with anything.
@@GordieGii yep I've been following this since the lunch I was about to get a P2 when I held off for a week more and surprise, So excited. Yeah the USB port overrides the keyboard and mouse leaving the touch panel active on the computer. Don't know why my first comment was so lacking commitment to the concept, rereading it I didn't need the "I think" in there.
The device looks nice but it's not pocketable now that they made it bigger, at this point the max would make more sense, but they said this one merges the pocket and the max, so the max is discontinued.... Forget using this on your lap if you don't have a table, it's too small... But above all in the past GPD has been using low quality battery cells, and their batteries tend to die after 1 year or 2... That's what happened to my pocket and I have seen tons of comments saying the same. At 2 pounds there are 13in laptops that have a much more usable screen and keyboard and even LTE...(which GPD stubbornly refuses to add in this device, because "it's not a mobile device") So this is pretty niche, for someone that has a bag that could not fit a compact laptop, or else for field technical staff
the win max is not discontinued... if you meant the p2 max, then yes, that series is probably discontinued and also, GPD has switched battery provider for at least 2 years
@@lapinus yes, I meant the pocket max since this is a pocket. I see too many recent comments about batteries going bad to take a chance on the new battery provider of GPD
The new battery manufacturer they employ is the second largest producer of those cells in Asia.. Its not taking a chance it's a very practical change from consumer feedback..
I would wager the mousepad placement would suit a confined space well (e.g. on a bus or train seat) - I'm a little confused by the positioning of the model, is this the one that's primarily intended for field technical staff as opposed to the more consumer oriented pocket PC?
The technical one was the MicroPC. It looks like GPD decided to just merge the two target markets into one device to have less products to have to keep track of.
That's a shame in some ways, I have been able to pocket my tablet (8.4" Samsung Tab S) but it's very thin, this isn't. I have carried pocket computers since 1984 so I look for this ability, it makes incidental use that much easier.
@@AnTran147 The MicroPC has the serial port build in which is good but it dosnt have the KVM option. This is the difference between the 2. I think they could go all in and targeted the IT work because a small PC like that is Godsent for SSRs and Sys admins. It pretty much saves you from having log a massive KVM trolly and a bunch of serial adapters around. Or having to pay 400-700 USD for a crash card. I think what they could of done better is put the serial port as build in and the modular part to be: 1. USB ports (like they have) 2. HDMI +USB in (like they have) 3. VGA + USB - quite a lot of OEMs still clinge to VGA on new severs even today... + The endless clients that keep 10+ year old servers still in service. Since the new laptops they are issuing us have only HDMI , not both anymore , we have to bring adapters in our backpacs. 4. NIC - 1 or 2 eth ports. Man I dont know how many times I would of killed to have a lapop with more ethernet ports instead of having to bring a small "Plug and pray" switch or eth to USB adapters in order to connect to dual controller systems.
Looks less useful than the GPD P2 Max. It's around the same price, but this one (Pocket 3) is bulkier, heavier and has a smaller screen. No SD slot once again and useless features instead. I'm not intrigued.
Smaller than the GPD P2 Max, Larger than the GPD Pocket 2. More usable for me due to the KVM Module, Integrated Ethernet, Larger SSD agree, it should have an integrated SD slot. Not sure why GPD keeps leaving this out of recent units.
No one really wants to carry it in their pockets. The fact that it has a larger screen and comfortably large enough keyboard is a great feature imo. I like this product a lot
Someone that own GPD pocket 3 please could tell me if this device is unibody aluminum or is similar to GPD win max which just the top is aluminum and the bottom is made of plastic.
This one time I had to config some router and the only laptop with serial I had was my grandpas old windows 95 laptop lol it worked tho putty existed back then
The operating system Windows is made by Microsoft Corporation, so why not has them how any laptop built for international market works. Maybe there is something else I'm not getting, but just can't imagine how that relates to the hardware.
not impressed will ,, almost impressed 16gb ram is nothing 32~64gb ram is whats needed also i hope it has an open bios that is similar to surface pro 7+ to install different OS's... where u got scure USB boot to to install windows only (10~11~etc) or 3rd party boot such as chrome OS flex also i havent try it but hopefuly there is multi fan speed where it can go to quiet mode cuz some of us stay in cold rooms & even better a fanless device with passive cooling same as surface pro 7+ i5 & i think i7 too but not sure about that
It is shockingly cheap, especially when you consider how small their production runs are compared to any major laptop manufacturer. You have seen the specs, right? DDR4x, not DDR4. 2.5G Ethernet, not 1G. 16 not 8 gigs of ram. Wifi 6. Extremely bright IPS panel. And the CPU is the top spec i7 in the class, 5Ghz boost.

Looks great. But I'm afraid that the hinge would break, does not seem durable in the long run.
OHHHH that swap out serial plug is awesome! That and the form factor would be perfect for sessions in front of comms / server racks plugged directly into infrastructure.

cool

And the former models had even sturdier hinges. This one looks like the hinge won't survive the first week.
What happens if you rotate the screen in the wrong way? I guess you would have a screen and a keyboard.
What happens if you hit it with a sledgehammer?

Why does this video has interlacing artifacts?
My thoughts exactly... Looks like an 80's handheld cam... 😛
nice ！btw ，official has announced that the production version can automatically rotate the screen...
This is what i wanted right now
well done GPD! - 1/4 the size of a macbook pro and 4 x more ports, GPD makes apple look a joke in 2021 lol
for normal usage (office, browsing), how long does the battery last ?
You can use a External monitor and a keyboard To use it like a mini pc

From what I've seen so far the HDMI just looks like a camera input to software and I think the USB port overrides hardware control on the keyboard and mouse so usable with anything.
I seem to recall (from LTT perhaps) the USB port is to use the touch pad and keyboard on the device that is being displayed through the HDMI input.

hi, thanks for the great review. Tell me, how much does the device heat up and make noise with fans in normal and gaming mode? thanks in advance!
Dude i just bought it and it was fire😊
finally , they made the 3rd version , i hope some better performance than the m3 8100y GPD Pocket 2
cool video cant wait for the next wan
If money is not object which one do you prefer chuwi minibook or gpd pocket 3?
that hinge gonna break fast
Ok, when I actual use the GPD Pocket 3 is super small for to see the screen, if you those guy can sell with Bliss OS?
Partner it with a tablet gamepad and you get a handheld gaming pc better than the win max.
And again I can't login to any page I use, because it lacks two letters from my name.
How long does it take to charge the battery? I hate the long charging time of the gpd pocket 1 and 2. Is it faster on the pocket 3?
2.5 hours per Linus Tech Tipa
hm maybe they could do modular inputs one day

i havent try it
but hopefuly there is multi fan speed
where it can go to quiet mode
cuz some of us stay in cold rooms
