GPD Pocket's Build and Design

 

    

Built from CNC magnesium alloy, the GPD Pocket is a solid, clean and exquisitely crafted portable PC. GPD put no logos or labeling on the Pocket giving a clean look when closed. It's just a silver clam shell design echoing an old miniature Apple MacBook(apple MACBOOK KA BACCHA). To the front is a small notch for opening the display lid. While you can't open it one-handed, the hinge that supports the 7-inch display is smooth and sturdy

On the bottom are some rubber feet and a small area for the speaker and intake vent. There are six hex screws to open the GPD Pocket though it has no upgradable parts.

There are no creaks, weak points, or anything cheap feeling about the GPD Pocket. It's a solid, precisely built magnesium device that is smooth and elegant. I can't say enough good GPD's manufacturing is for this PC.

GPD Pocket's TOUCHABLE ( Touch Display )

 

 

The 1900 x 1200 IPS touch display on the GPD Pocket is exceptional. Again, beating my expectations. With a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, razor thin bezels at the top and bottom and an enjoyable 16:10 aspect the GPD Pocket's display is drop dead gorgeous.

GPD Pocket's Keyboard and Navigation (Typing is Tough )

 

 

If you were expecting to pick up the GPD Pocket to bang out term papers or write long emails using the built-in keyboard, you would be disappointed.

To be fair, the GPD Pocket's keyboard is well done and given the size constraints GPD tried its best. At the end of the day, however, you're stuck with an excellent keyboard that is about a quarter the size of a standard laptop making typing hard.

The keys are not backlit, but they have a surprising amount of travel, which I peg at around 1.3mm at least. Key response is even, and while the keyboard is cluttered, you do get a dedicated key for Windows Start, Alt, Ctrl, a power button, and function keys for display brightness, volume, and more. I'm not a fan of the smaller backspace key versus the larger one for delete, but typing on the GPD Pocket is already a challenge at this size. 

For navigation, GPD uses a blue navigation nub instead of a trackpad. Below the nub are right and left click keys. While I don't like nubs on proper laptops, I confess I enjoyed how well it worked here – again, given the size constraints.
The good news is bad typing and navigation is technically solvable. After all, the GPD Pocket is a full PC with some expansion ports. Use a wired USB mouse, or just add a Bluetooth keyboard and suddenly the typing and navigation experiences change.

GPD Pocket's Port ( The Right I/O )

 

There are single ports for USB Type-C, USB Type-A, and even a micro HDMI display out.The Type-C port is very welcomed as it allows several expansion prospects including a display (4K, 30 FPS; 1080P at 60) while simultaneously charging the device. That port can also be used for data. It should be noted, somewhat obviously, that the GPD Pocket does not support Thunderbolt 3 for 40 Gbps data transfer.

 

 

 

GPD Pocket's Audio ( Decent Speaker )

 

 

 
The quality of speakers are very decent that not so low not so very load but decent you can hear everything clearly. While there are no front-facing dual stereo speakers on the GPD Pocket, it gets by with a single speaker.It is not the most impressive sound from a device this small the audio is good enough for watching a movie, YouTube clip, or even listening to music. Audio is crisp and it lacks richness, but it can get quite loud. The sound seems to resonate upwards through the keyboard deck, which is a smart design.

 

 

GPD Pocket's Performance and Battery ( Not a powerful pc)   

 

GPD managed to jam a full-sized budget laptop into a seven-inch handheld device, which is neat. The Intel Atom processor is not exciting, but an Intel Core i5 or i7 would be out of the question. Those processors require additional space, much more power, have greater heat dissipation needs, and cost three times as much as Intel Atom making it unfeasible.

Windows 10 though does quite well with an Intel Atom if you are sticking with apps from the Windows Store and that are built into the OS. Launching Twitter or MSN News takes about six seconds to load including streaming data fully.
Playing a 1080p video on YouTube at 60 frames-per-second was not a problem at all with no stutters or glitches. Combined with that display and it looked fantastic too.

Unexpectedly, the Intel Atom processor could get quite warm. Under heavy load e.g. a Windows OS update, or while playing a video came temperatures could peak at 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) from the exhaust vent. That is not hot at all compared to a full laptop, but it is warmer than your smartphone over a larger area. During normal usage, the temperature is more around 90 degrees F (32 degrees C).

GPD did include active cooling with the Pocket. That means that it does have a little fan for the exhaust port on the side. The fan is audible when the processor is stretched for gaming, but under normal operating conditions it is quiet.

Battery estimates are for 12 hours with the GPD Pocket, but that is on the high-end. I felt I could eek out six to eight hours depending on how hard I was pushing it. That's pretty good, however, for something that fits in your pocket. Charging is handled by the included teeny USB Type-C charger.
While Intel Atom leaves a lot to be desired for light computing – which is what the GPD Pocket is all about – it is a doable experience buoyed by the quality of the rest of the hardware.
