Purchased and now regret. The keyboard is abysmal.
We rarely have any complaints for the keyboard. If you purchased it from us and it is within the return for refund period, please get in contact via [email protected] and we can set up a return for you.
Hi,
What type of finish is on the screen. Is it matte, and if so what grade?
It is similar finish to what a mobile phone is. See our review at https://gpdstore.net/gpd-pocket-4-review/ for video and photos.
I need exactly this type of device, but I need a nordic keyboard layout.
Hi, unfortunately we do not have different keyboard layouts due to demand.
I’m in Australia and have been watching/waiting for Australian shipping to be added, which I saw was added just recently. I’m keen to buy the base model 8840U with 16gb/1TB SSD. Now, I notice when I switch between USD and AUD on your website, the price doesn’t change. I assume this is an error, and that I can’t actually buy it for AUD$884.94. Can you confirm the current price in AUD, and is the website capable of taking my order?
Sorry about that, there was an issue when changing country. It should change to the local currency but it was staying on USD. Our team have fixed the issue. Please try now and it should be working OK for you. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you, I have just placed an order now.
– Steven
Great!
Hi Dave, I see that the bonus protective case for the Pocket 4 is currently on back order. If there’s going to be a delay, I’m happy to have them shipped separately. Cheers!
Could you please email customer service at [email protected] with your order number regarding this. Thanks.
Anyone running a variant of Linux on this thing?
There are no ‘official’ Linux builds for it at the moment. Some users may have installed their own but may run into issues with drivers for hardware.
Will it ever arrive on aliexpress GPD Offical store? Cant pay directly, want to buy asap.
I’m interested in knowing more about the keyboard options for this device. Where are the keys located after O and P, and after K and L? Are there any alternative keyboard layouts available, such as a standard QWERTY layout? Can it be used to type in different languages?
The symbol keys are located across the top row to the right of the ESC key, you use the FN key and the keyboard key. There are no alternative keyboard layouts. You can change the keyboard language in Windows, it would be similar to using a QWERTY keyboard with a different language on say a laptop or desktop PC.
Such a situation is unacceptable. I’m waiting for GPD Pocket 5 with the right keyboard… )
The majority of customers use QWERTY or are at least familiar with it. GPD have not sold alternative keyboards unless a batch is specifically ordered with alternative keyboard.
Why does the GPD WIN 4 have a full QWERTY keyboard, but the GPT Poket 4 doesn’t? I believe adding a few keys for a full keyboard wouldn’t make the device much larger, especially if they could be used for a stylus when not typing. A full keyboard is especially useful for programming and overall productivity.
The GPD WIN 4 keys are very small and not great for anything other than shorter text. You would not want to write an A4 length document in word with it. The Pocket 4 keys are far larger and perfectly fine to use for any length of time. All of the keys are there, just in a different layout. I would personally take the larger keys that are easy to type on rather than small keys for short text.
Make the same device, but a little bigger, with a normal keyboard that has op[] kl;’, and also a place for a stylus, with the same internals, and I’m sure it will be a bestseller. For now, no, it’s not suitable for everyone.
I agree. Having to hold Fn for ; is unacceptable. Looks like the Pocket 4 is made for HTML and Python kids and not real programmers.
There should be a setting in BIOS to lock the Fn key if I recall correctly.
Same here, I’m waiting for GPD 5 with QUERTZ keyboard… 🙂
Historically there have not been models with different keyboard layout due to demand. But please do let us know as the more people that request, it may happen in the future. Thanks.
Hey does this support pen input, and if so which pens? Is there a slot to store the pen? Considering getting this as a portable blender machine 🙂
It will support Capacitive stylus. GPD have not provided any information if they will have a specific Capacitive stylus for this, but any should be compatible. There is no slot to store it. There will be case available for the Pocket 4 so you could store in there.
Any chance the micro sd card reader gets bumped up to UHS-II like the Win Max 2 has? Not sure if the swappable module supports that kind of bandwidth, but it would be cool if there were higher performance options too, like throwing an extra 2.5 GbE, Oculink, or similar ports in, given this appears targeted at network admins, etc. I can dream, right?
As far as we know the Micro SD card reader module will be UHS-I bus, 160MB/s read, 120MB/s write. Maybe a faster module will be released later on.
Will there be a lower spec version like how the Pocket 3 had a Pentium version? I’d like this as a portable work device, so I personally wouldn’t get much use out of the more powerful components.
There will be a lower performance AMD Ryzen 7 8840U model out around the same time as the Ryzen 9 HX 370. As for a very low model like the Intel 7505 on the Pocket 3, nothing has been announced yet, maybe later next year.
do y’all ship to Kuwait on igg or in this website ? if yes what carrier do you usually use in the middle east ? + I want to pre-order the pocket 4 in igg and i want to buy a stylus with the device, how can i achieve that on igg because in igg i can’t find the stylus ? should i wait for it to release in this website so i buy it with the stylus ?
Unfortunately we do not ship to Kuwait.
thanks for the reply but it says in igg that you can ship it to kuwait, so what will happened if i directly orderd on igg with my kuwaiti address ?
We will be adding Kuwait to our supported shipping here soon.
How do I buy one in Australia? And how much $AUD ?
You can buy from us once we start accepting orders. The price has not been finalised just yet, but once we start taking pre-orders the prices will be available. We ship to Australia. If you go to the product page at https://gpdstore.net/gpd-mini-laptop/gpd-pocket-4/ there is a Get Notified email signup which will notify you once pre-orders start.
Thanks for the info Dave, I’ve signed up for notifications and will keep my eye out. The current Pocket 3 with the Pentium Gold 7505 is appealing but I’ll hold out for confirmed price/specs/availability of the Pocket 4.
specifications are pretty much confirmed now on the product page, just waiting on a final price which we hope to have very soon.
I just had a look at the drop-down list of countries and regions available for shipping when I add something to my shopping cart – Australia is not mentioned there at all ?
We are adding Australia to the shipping locations this week, we will also have the prices in AUD.
Fantastic! Thank you.
Any update on shipping to Australia and AUD prices?
It will be soon. A few different countries are being added. It takes a little time as we have currency conversion, tax, shipping methods etc to do for each one.
Go-go GPD engeneers! Engeneer this brilliant tiny monster in reality asap! Will order it as soon as it arrive in aliexpress.
It is coming very soon! We hope to have a pre-production sample for preview in a couple of weeks.
I’m just wondering do you have more up to date information about Pocket 4? When is it going to be released?
No official release date yet. We hope to have a sample unit to preview/review in November.
Would love to run Flux in Amuse on this.
https://www.amuse-ai.com/
MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS FOR RUNNING FLUX.1 IN AMUSE:
24GB VRAM, 32GB RAM, 40GB Disk Space
Is there an option to get 24GB VRAM on the GPD Pocket 4? What is the max amount i can get?
I am currently in China and wonder when the it will be available to order?
With the integrated GPU there is no dedicated VRAM and uses the main 32GB RAM for example. You could use an eGPU for this though.
When are you going to make it for me?
Is the November release correct?
It’s hard to wait
Help me!!!
The Pocket 4 will not be released in November. We expect the final specifications to be announced in November.
hello
According to the information published on the GPD website, the maximum amount of RAM was 32 GB.
Is this true??
Does this mean that this console does not support 64GB RAM?
UPDATE: We can confirm that there will be 16GB and 32GB models, no 64GB (at least initially).
Hi – will the micro sd module for.the GPD Pocket 4 br backeard compatible with the Pocket 3 ?
I replied to your other comment. We do not have this information yet as the hardware is not finalised. We will hope to have this answer soon.
Hi – will the Micro sd module be backwards compatible with the Pocket 3 ?
We do not have this information yet as the hardware is not finalised. We will hope to have this answer soon.
I have no doubt that the KVM module will be separate, just curious if it will just be a blank plate, they show several other modules like a USB port, sim card, etc
Nothing is confirmed yet, but we would expect it to have a single USB port module as standard.
Hi, I have a question about Color laptop pocket 4 is it the same color as the Pocket 3 or not looks likes Pocket 4 on photos have black Color ?
The GPD Pocket 4 will have a slightly different colour. Should be similar to the Dark Grey of the P2 Max. We will upload a video once that is available.
Will there be a version with analog sticks for those looking for a portable gaming device with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370?
Not a version of the Pocket 4. But we expect the GPD WIN, MAX & Mini series to have this CPU in their next releases.
Expect KVM modules to be sold separately, like it was with Pocket 3…
Does it come with any module pre-installed or are they all sold separately?
Are bezels smaller? Previous models looked like a tablet attached to a keyboard.
Once the Pocket 4 is finalised we will have more information on this.
Der Pocket 4 sieht wirklich vielversprechend aus! Auch ich würde mich jedoch über eine Qwertz Tastatur freuen. Man könnte dies ja als optionales addon verkaufen? Bei meinem WinMax2 habe ich auch einen 3rd party Hersteller gefunden, der eine QWERTZ Tastatur anbietet, funktioniert wunderbar. Es wäre toll, wenn es das auch von GPD direkt gäbe, damit man nicht auf Drittanbieter angewiesen ist.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse am GPD Pocket 4 und Ihren Vorschlag bezüglich einer QWERTZ-Tastatur. Wir schätzen Ihr Feedback sehr.
Wir möchten Sie über einige wichtige Punkte bezüglich lokalisierter Tastaturen informieren:
Produktionsanforderungen: Die Herstellung einer lokalisierten Tastaturlayout wie QWERTZ oder AZERTY erfordert eine Mindestproduktion von etwa 1000 Stück. Dies stellt für uns als Hersteller eine erhebliche Herausforderung dar.
Alternative Lösung: Als praktikable Alternative haben wir festgestellt, dass die Verwendung von Tastatur-Aufklebern mit den korrekten Layouts eine effiziente Lösung darstellt. Diese ermöglichen es den Nutzern, ihre bevorzugte Tastaturbelegung zu erhalten, ohne dass wir separate Produktionslinien einrichten müssen.
Zukünftige Überlegungen: Wir nehmen Ihren Vorschlag zur Kenntnis und werden ihn für zukünftige Produktionszyklen in Betracht ziehen. Allerdings können wir für die erste Charge des GPD Pocket 4 keine lokalisierten Tastaturen anbieten.
Wir verstehen, dass eine native QWERTZ-Option für viele unserer deutschsprachigen Nutzer wünschenswert wäre. Wir ermutigen Sie, in der Zwischenzeit die Möglichkeit von hochwertigen Tastatur-Aufklebern in Betracht zu ziehen, um Ihre Bedürfnisse zu erfüllen.
Wir schätzen Ihr Verständnis und Ihre fortgesetzte Unterstützung. Bitte behalten Sie unsere offiziellen Kanäle im Auge für zukünftige Updates und Produktankündigungen. Ihre Rückmeldungen helfen uns, unsere Produkte kontinuierlich zu verbessern und den Bedürfnissen unserer vielfältigen Nutzerbasis gerecht zu werden.
Thank you for your interest in the GPD Pocket 4 and your suggestion regarding a QWERTZ keyboard. We really appreciate your feedback. We would like to inform you about some important points regarding localized keyboards:
Production Requirements: Making a localized keyboard layout such as QWERTZ or AZERTY requires a minimum production of about 1000 pieces. This poses a considerable challenge for us as a manufacturer.
Alternative solution: As a viable alternative, we have found that using keyboard stickers with the correct layouts is an efficient solution. These allow users to get their preferred keyboard layout without us having to set up separate production lines.
Future considerations: We take note of your proposal and will consider it for future production cycles. However, we can’t offer localized keyboards for the first batch of the GPD Pocket 4.
Does this have bypass charging? Meaning when it’s connected to the outlet using the adapter, it would not draw power from the battery?
Thank you for your question about bypass charging on the GPD Pocket 4. While the full technical specifications have not yet been released, bypass charging (also known as pass-through charging) is a common feature in many modern laptops and portable devices. This feature allows the device to run directly off AC power when plugged in, without drawing from or charging the battery.
However, we don’t have official confirmation from GPD about this specific feature for the Pocket 4 model. Given its focus on portability and productivity, it would be a logical inclusion, but we can’t say for certain at this time.
Once more detailed specifications are available closer to the release date, we’ll be able to provide a definitive answer about bypass charging support. In the meantime, I’d recommend to subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date on product releases.
finally an AMD mini laptop to slap on linux and have as my daily driver.
Where do i subscribe for release date?
On the product page at https://gpdstore.net/shop/gpd-mini-laptop/gpd-pocket-4/ there is a Get Notified button, enter your email there and we will contact when pre-orders are available. Thanks.
du meinst wohl nur QWERTY?
Leider gibt es nur eine QWERTY-Tastatur
Hallo,
gibt es das Teil auch mal mit einer QUERTZ-Tastatur, ich wär schon ganz scharf drauf?
Gruß
Great looking design and good hardware choice.
Been looking for something like this for a while but wanted to ask if an ARM variant like Snapdragon was also a possibility as the efficiency would skyrocket?
I believe this one utilizes the Strix Point APU. Will a Strix Halo version of this form factor be released? Like maybe one of the LP variants or one with a lower tiered GPU(maybe the 20 or 24 CU variants)? I also heard there would be an LP 32 CU variant, but I think that would be pushing it’s power limits and really shorten the battery life. Given AMD’s power settings versatility, it would be nice to have a Strix Halo variant with this exact form factor. So much power in such a small and mobile form factor.
I own a GPD Pocket 3 with the i7 11th gen for more than 2 years.
Great Pocket PC !
I use it as my desktop replacement for everything but gaming hooked to an eGPU RX6700XT and 2x4K 60Hz screens.
+ the benefit of its tiny form factor as EDC.
Solid all Alu construction and hardware specs.
I recommend its replacement with that great new AMD ships that will allow much better gaming and emulation performances.
Crazy specs, but just rehashed design. Pass.
Actually, it does say 1800g on the sign-up page (link at the very end). It also says $2000 for 32gb 2tb and $2500 for 64gb. Perhaps these numbers are subject to change?
How much does it (GPD Pocket 4) weight? If it is really 1800g as is written in your specification than it must be very heavy for such relatively small device ?
When will this be available?
Why does the Windows key still have the Windows 10 logo instead of the Windows 11 logo? I noticed that the GPD Duo has the Windows 11 logo. Will this be updated before release?
