GPD Pocket 4 Mini Laptop now official

GPD just announced their latest mini-laptop, the Pocket 4, and honestly, this thing looks like a pretty sweet upgrade from its predecessor.

It’s got a bigger screen, more powerful internals, and some cool modular features that make it super versatile.

Let’s start with the basics: the Pocket 4 now has an 8.8-inch 2.5K IPS LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Yep, it’s bigger and smoother than the Pocket 3’s screen.

Under the hood, there are some impressive options. You can go with the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U for solid performance, or if you want all the bells and whistles, there’s the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. That one’s got 12 cores, AI capabilities. Pair with up to 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD.

GPD nailed customization with its modular port system. You can add a USB-A port or even a 4G LTE module for extra connectivity. It also comes with front-facing speakers, a fingerprint reader, and active cooling for smooth performance.

As for the touchpad, it’s still above the keyboard, but it’s pretty small—using a mouse might be a better option at a desk.
