GPD Pocket 3 unboxing and first look

[@timtim2949]

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.

[@beauslim]

Big enough to touch type, small enough to sling and climb a ladder. I'm not configuring Cisco switches and HMI devices up in goofy places like antenna towers and crane cabs these days, but for those who do this is perfect. Seems kind of spendy for a 4 core Jasper Lake, but it is a specialized device and they aren't going to sell millions of them. Is it durable?

[@LinuxHurts]

Modern version of the Asus Eee PC and its clones--I LOVED those things....

[@Camhin1]

That kvm feature is fire!

[@BruntPotaato]

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?

[@versailledoctrina7646]

Looks great. But I'm afraid that the hinge would break, does not seem durable in the long run.

[@Emiichoco]

things like this have existed before without breaking tho..

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

it never broke after 3 years

[@ralseidreemurr2682]

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....

[@hieroglyph321]

I remember. The good old (more interesting form-factor) days

[@_tim]

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.

[@gregyance9901]

Do you know guys when GPD is going to launch the campaign for the pocket 4?

[@henryganzer4685]

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

[@magister.mortran]

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.

[@Palimbacchius]

[@nickthaskater]

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.

[@Max_Mustermann]

The Pocket 3 looks interesting, but seems to be more of an updated version of the GPD Micro PC than the Pocket 2.

You can use a External monitor and a keyboard To use it like a mini pc

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?

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]

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.

[@imark7777777]

@@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.

[@eduardosvmtecnologia1357]

hello guy! this device have simcard input 4G or 5G?

[@davocc2405]

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?

[@AnTran147]

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.

[@davocc2405]

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.

[@mowtow90]

@@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.

[@_Digitalguy]

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

[@lapinus]

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

[@_Digitalguy]

@@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

[@leopoldofarias5728]

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..

[@magister.mortran]

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.

[@_Digitalguy]

and it's not even pocketable, it's quite a bit bigger than the previous pocket

[@guardianzx9640]

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.

[@NeonVisual]

Once a GPD devices is bigger than the pocket 1 and 2, it unfortunately finds itself in a netbook category I've no interest in. They say they had to make it bigger in order to accommodate a larger battery as Intel hasn't put out any new low power CPU's in recent years. The CPU in the pocket 2 is actually pretty snappy and I've got multiple over/undervolting profiles from lightly sipping electricity, to a full 12W load for rendering and gameplay. A newer device with the same CPU wouldn't have been an issue if they had updated some other features. The display brightness on the pocket 2 isn't great so that could have done with an upgrade, along with a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint reader. I would have bought that at the first chance I had. When you look at this pocket 3 and compare it to their other devices, this is just a larger version of their microPC which is designed for engineers and those who need these large sockets and replacement modules. I do hope GPD havn't abandoned the pocket PC market as it's the only devices in their range that I enjoy. I found the P2 Max to be essentially a modern netbook and really a modern day PDA.
