Starting off our GPD Pocket 3<\/a> review, let’s take a quick look at what’s included in the box. Inside, you’ll find the GPD Pocket 3 mini laptop itself, along with a user manual available in both English and Chinese. The package also includes a power supply, and we\u2019ll provide the correct adapter for your country. Lastly, there’s a USB Type-C charging cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPD Pocket 3 Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving on with our GPD Pocket 3 review, we take a closer look at the GPD Pocket 3<\/a> lightweight laptop. It measures approximately 7.79 x 5.3 x 0.78 inches (19.8 x 13.7 x 2.0 cm) and weighs 725g (1.59 lbs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device features a gunmetal-colored aluminum alloy case, which adds a bit of weight but also ensures durability. It houses advanced components, such as the Intel Pentium Gold 7505 processor, giving it a sturdy feel and providing protection against bumps and scrapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon opening the lid, you\u2019ll be greeted by an 8-inch H-IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 1920\u00d71200. The 2-in-1 design allows you to twist the display and fold it down to convert the laptop into a tablet, making it versatile for different use cases. Reversing the twist transforms it back into a traditional laptop for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The display also includes a 2-megapixel camera with a 1600\u00d71200 resolution and a built-in microphone, making it ideal for high-quality video conferencing or online meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the lower half, you\u2019ll find left, middle, and right mouse buttons, a power button with an integrated fingerprint scanner, and a touchpad that supports up to three-finger gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full QWERTY keyboard is backlit and can be toggled on or off. The keys are chocolate-style and low-profile, making typing comfortable despite the compact size. The keys feel similar to a standard keyboard but require your hands to be closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The left side of the laptop for business features a USB Thunderbolt 4 port and an HDMI port for external displays, while the right side includes two USB 3.2 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The back houses a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port for fast wired connections. Notably, there\u2019s a modular port on the back, adding flexibility to the GPD Pocket 3<\/a>. It comes with a USB 3.2 port module by default, but you can swap it out with other modules available separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular Port with RS-232 & KVM Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next in our GPD Pocket 3 review we take a closer look at the star of the show, the modular port. Swapping out the module is straightforward: just remove two screws, replace the module, and screw it back in. Currently, two modules are available\u2014an RS-232 DB9 port and a single-port KVM Module with HDMI and USB input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These modules are particularly useful for industrial applications, offering hardware-level access for data analysis or control, requiring only a display, keyboard, and mouse. The GPD Pocket 3 comes with pre-installed software to support the KVM module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lets also take a closer look at the 2-in-1 mini laptop and tablet functionality as part of our GPD Pocket 3 review. As mentioned, the GPD Pocket 3<\/a> can transform from a compact laptop into a tablet with a simple twist of the display. Although it\u2019s thicker than a typical tablet, it offers a rugged design that provides a reassuring grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
