Is this the World's Smallest Laptop? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin this is one of

the world's smallest laptops so GPD just

finished up their IndieGoGo campaign and

they sent out one of their very first

prototypes so let's take a look

I feel fractal Josh's ghosts guiding my

hand as I unbox this package oh wow this

thing is wrapped up so this does not

look like a normal laptop box this is

the laptop are you serious or not

like that's that's it this is the entire

laptop oh wow it's actually aluminum in

fact it actually looks like a tiny

MacBook whoo whoa when I heard the words

world's smallest laptop I assumed

something very small on plastic it

honestly seems like someone ran a

macbook through a shrink ray and that is

not a bad thing before I get too far

into it what else do we have in here you

have a USB c2c cable as well as a power

brick which I assume will use USB see I

love this hinge that feels so smooth so

it's cool is is that while there are

versions of this that run Linux this guy

is preloaded with Windows 10 essentially

what you're getting here is a full

Windows laptop that will literally fit

in the palm of your hand now it is a

touch thicker than you might expect but

because of that they're actually able to

fit a pretty sizable battery inside

something else is cool about this is

that while it is a seven-inch display

it's full IPS and it is 1920 by 1200 and

in person this looks pretty nice I don't

really have a whole lot to complain

about here the keyboards are right I

think the thing that trips me out is not

so much the small size but the layout so

if you get weird things like having the

spacebar split into two different keys

you've got a lot of your punctuation

kind of squashed together and what's

really good to me is that the backspace

button has two keys above it and I

constantly want to go up and hit the

Delete key but keep in mind this is a

very very tiny laptop you're probably

not going to want to say write a paper

on it but for a quick little bit of web

browsers or something a little bit more

basic I think you can get away with it

so you know it doesn't have a tripod you

do have a little nub it's not the most

accurate thing in the world but it's

really not that bad and obviously you

have the touch screen as well if you

want to get something that's a little

bit more precise

speakers also decent so the problem is

just a single speaker that's kind of on

the bottom so it doesn't really sound

Gray's a little bit tinny but I don't

know I feel like I'm willing to forgive

a lot for a laptops this this tiny like

I keep freaking I just that's so cool

speaking of having a tiny laptop there

actually are a fair few ports

surprisingly so not only is there USB C

for charging as well as data but there's

also an HDMI port headphone as well as a

full sized USB 3 inside the pocket that

are actually pretty decent specs so it

has a quad core Intel Atom processor a

full eight gigabytes of memory as well

as a 128 gigabyte SSD specs like that

really aren't bad it's what you would

expect to find a lot of budget laptops

that are obviously much larger than this

now because it is so small it does have

a cooling fan but even when it's running

at full blast it's not that loud this

guy is also rocking a 7,000 milliamp

hour battery that is not bad so

especially with specs like this in such

a small screen they claim around 12

hours of battery life and that sounds

about right you know what really jumps

out to me though I keep going back to

this is just how nice the hardware is

yes it's a little bit on the chunky side

but when you consider just what all is

crammed inside it's really a pretty

decent trade-off it's interesting that

how few compromises there are here so

yeah the screen is small it kind of

looks like they just pulled it right off

of a tablet but that's fine it's a solid

unit and the same thing goes for running

Windows sure this might not be the

optimal Windows viewing experience but

with that high res screen and a little

bit of scaling it's actually kind of

usable like normal web browsing that

kind of stuff is totally fine honestly I

feel like the keyboard is going to be

the toughest part to get used to I think

if you're really into a smaller computer

that I think you can get used to it but

if you like all of my muscle memory just

is not there I'm constantly hitting the

wrong key I'm to kind of like squish my

hands together it's fine it's usable but

it's not really ideal at all well you

can't get this guy with Linux the idea

that it can come with full Windows 10

out of the box is really cool and with

that Atom processor and small screen yes

you're going to be slightly limited and

say doing things like video editing on

this guy but for the most part if it

runs on Windows you should be able to do

it on the pocket so with a single USBC

cable not only can we get 4k 30 out but

we can also do 1080 60 although that's

not 1080

this totally works dude

visit I guess it's like there's no

reason why this shouldn't work right but

it's such a tiny little laptop my

initial instinct is of course it can't

do that of course it can't do that

but it can time for some minecraft the

most amazing the game of all time well

if you're a seven inch laptop anyway you

know it's kind of cool about the setup

is that not only are we getting a full

display but with USBC we're also

charging the pocket at the same time so

essentially with one cable kind of like

a MacBook you can do everything frame

rate is not great though so maybe

playing Minecraft on the external 4k

display not the best idea oh yeah so

totally playable now this is actually

playing at 1200 P right now

Minos might not be the greatest

minecraft computer in the world but for

something this small I think it really

doesn't make a big difference that it

actually has a nice display I keep

coming back to that like I expect this

to be small and cheap and not very good

but its quality oh I hate this oh okay

so use the mouse number one rule advice

use a mouse that was really really bad

so yeah this guy can play csgo frame

rates a little bit lower than I would

like but you should not buy this as a

gaming computer the GPD pocket is a

weird little gadget it's not for

everyone but I've got to say I actually

kind of like it so what do you guys

think about this tiny tiny little laptop

will catch you in the next one
