The World's Smallest Laptop Just Got Faster #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin this is the GPD

pocket now as one of the world's

smallest laptops with a 7-inch display

it's kind of crazy what you're able to

get in such a small form-factor

but today today it's time for an update

so inside this slightly

suspicious-looking box is a

pre-production version of the brand-new

pocket - you know an IndieGoGo this just

went live and it's already way way past

its goal so with some much nicer retail

packaging we have the pocket itself now

what made the original pocket pretty

cool was that it is a full Windows

laptop and a tiny form factor and this

this is actually going to be even

smaller and almost more important than

that it's going to be more powerful so

it's actually got a little bit more of a

taper now so I put it side-by-side with

the original

you'll see that that one was a little

bit on the thicker and chunkier side but

now is this going to be a little bit

thinner but it even has more ports so

unlike something like the 12-inch

MacBook which has a single USBC port

this tiny 7 inch laptop has not only a

pair of USB a ports but also a microSD

headphone jack and a full USB C port one

thing the pocket definitely has down is

build quality the entire thing is going

to be made out of aluminum and it feels

incredibly sturdy typically speaking

when you're talking about something

that's this small you would expect it to

feel kind of plastic a or cheap that is

definitely not the case that even comes

across to the hinge seriously this thing

is built incredibly incredibly well as

opposed to the Atom processor in the

original version this guy is rocking a

full core m3 that's gonna make a big

difference to performance and while

that's typically going to be found in

fanless designs because this guy is

going to be so small it does have a

somewhat loud spin so it's kind of

helpful if there is going to be a little

button which can mostly mute the fan on

the keyboard probably because they know

that it gets a little bit annoying but

the nice thing is that you're actually

going to be getting some pretty serious

performance out of such a tiny and

laptop this model is paired with four

gigabytes of RAM and a 128 gigabyte SSD

now if you take a look at the IndieGoGo

page it's clear that a lot more people

are opting for the 8 gig model but if

you're more basic use 4 gig is actually

going to be ok but again I think most

people who are really hardcore about

these things are gonna want the Mac spec

that you can get now the 128 gigabyte

SSD is going to be a little bit on the

lower end but again it's a 7 inch laptop

sure it's not going to be the fastest

thing in the world but it's totally fine

for normal use this guy is going to be

running a full version of Windows 10

don't let the looks fool you it is going

to be a proper little laptop which of

course means only one thing it's time to

play some fortnight yeah of course it is

what do you mean it's fortnight times

don't you don't you want views Ken don't

you want to see how for night runs on a

7-inch laptop on the world's smallest

laptop I thought so well too bad because

I've already got four night loaded and

you can't stop me do we get dare go down

to potato mode do we do full 360 P hey

first let's it um can run the loading

screen wait a minute this is actually

this works I mean I made like 28 frames

per second I'd buy that now as you might

imagine where the laptops is this small

you definitely definitely need a mouse

the keyboard actually does kind of work

though it's not ideal as long as I have

a mouse it actually doesn't feel so bad

all right support Knight playable on the

seven-inch if you don't enjoy your own

sanity the screen isn't bad so it's a 7

inch panel with a 1920 by 1200

resolution which is going to be plenty

sharp on a display this size now this is

going to be pre-production Hardware so

you can't judge it too harshly but my

main issue is going to be the brightness

it just isn't all that bright well it's

going to be somewhat color accurate it

does leave a little bit on the cooler

side hopefully by the time this actually

ships to everyone who's buying it on

IndieGoGo went on Amazon later this year

they will be able to get a little bit of

a brighter panel in this guy compared to

the original pocket the keyboard has

been tweaked and definitely for the

better so not only is going to be a

little bit taller so before there was

going to be some wasted space but

they've also gotten rid of this little

nub instead there's going to be this

tiny little touch pad which is not only

going to be used as a tiny tiny little

cursor but you can also click it it's a

little bit weird but the biggest

difference is definitely going to be in

the better keyboard layout though going

to be small and hard to get used to but

it is a big improvement the real way to

use this is going to be to take

advantage of the touchscreen now it is

going to be pretty accurate the biggest

issue is just because it is so small a

lot of the windows touch targets are

tiny but once you get some scaling on

this guy it's not going to be too bad

sixty watts that's a lot of watts my

friends

the speaker is not exactly going to be

all that great it gets pretty loud but

the issue is its I think it's kind of

hidden underneath the keyboard there's

no obvious sort of spot where it's

actually going to be exhausting sound

you can use all sound that's not a thing

at all ready $600 on IndieGoGo for the

higher-end model and it's going to be

even more expensive when it's available

on retail sale later this year the GPD

pocket 2 is not going to be for everyone

well it's a dope little laptop and well

there's always going to be more and more

different thin light laptops that are

going to be going for that world's

thinnest title I've got to say going for

the world's smallest laptop actually has

a lot of value to it I mean come on this

thing actually fits in your pocket
