very small but powerful, it can go up to 30w tdp with uxtu but vrms are starting to heat up a lot

So teeny tiny, so powerful

The GPD pocket 4 is a great piece of hardware for those who want a portable laptop to do a variety of things on. It's very lightweight (less than 1kg!), it has an amazing battery life of 4-6h of working, playing videos and even small games and can even run more complex games or something like a game engine, though you shouldn't expect more than a decently smooth performance. If you want to use it for drawing though, you're out of luck. I tried the universal GPD capacitive stylus and it can't even draw lines, so either get a drawing pad or use something else. Despite this, the touchscreen works phenomenally with your fingers, and the twistable screen makes it a great travel buddy. This is your choice if you're looking for a quality versatility tool and aren't on a tight budget, but be realistic and don't expect to run something like Cyberpunk at 100 fps, it's tiny size still imposes some limitations.

This thing GOES! I've tested Cyberpunk 2077 and it stays at 50fps on medium settings. The 6800u on my Win Max 2 struggled quite a bit with God of War, but this machine was running great on all cylinders! Even had some more simple games like Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered running at over 200fps and it was only using 4 watts. I am MORE than satisfied with its performance and will be putting many hours on this thing. Thank you GPD for listening to us and implementing things like better cooling, easily removable grips, and the 2280 m.2 ssd! GPD fan for life 🙂

GPD Pocket 4 KVM Module

The fact that this handheld is as powerful as it is, and yet is so compact and comfortable, amazes me every time I power it on.
This device can handle (almost) anything you throw at it. Psp and gameboy advanced are spectacular on it, and it will run any playstore game effortlessly.
Play anything, anytime, anywhere.
I give it a "Spinaltap" 11\10

GPD Pocket 4 4G LTE Module

DroiX NH8 USB Hub with NVMe

Best place to order any device. Have not been paid to say this. Thanks ayn for making the mini and droix for importing!

It worked straight out of the box and immediately recognized dual monitors. Still getting used to Windows 11. Now planning on installing another SSD.

Wonderful! Easy to access interior too. Wish there was a way to stop screen from rotating when I don't want it to though.

The case is fine, but as a bearded guy in the midwest I just cannot be seen out in public with something like this. It's one thing to have a tiny computer, it's another to have a case that looks 100% like a ladies purse and has inexplicably just wayyyy too soft of exterior material, and the shiny metal buckle seals the deal. It was nice of them to throw in this case but it's a no-go for me, just being honest. Nothing wrong with the materials and construction or how it fits the device, it's just not a style for me. Never thought a case could be "too soft" but this thing is ten-ply, if you know what I mean! There's such a thing as "too girly" of a computer case, and a feller oughtta be aware of it! xD

This device has lived up to most of my expectations, and I’m really happy with it. Quick side note: Droix has been fantastic, and I can’t imagine buying a GPD device any other way now. On to the Pocket 4:

This is a pretty novel little machine. A surprising amount of power in such a compact package, and the price wasn’t bad at all given the horsepower (mine is the HX 370 / 64 GB version).

The screen is excellent, although there’s no getting around the fact that it’s still just 8.8 inches. That means working with two windows side-by-side is rarely viable, and when coworkers share their 4K screens on video calls, it's a bit rough. I can zoom in using our conferencing app, but that was a surprise annoyance I hadn’t fully anticipated. Just one of those small-device tradeoffs that reminds you how important it is to know your needs before diving into something this compact. When I’m working in a planned session I dock it at my desk.

A couple of features I really like: The 4G LTE modem and the surprisingly usable built-in keyboard. It’s a huge upgrade from tapping things out on my phone’s screen when I need to write more than a sentence or two. With a little practice, I’m comfortably typing over 60 WPM. I've used it more for documentation and correspondence than coding, since some of the keys are in odd places.

The trackpad and mouse buttons above the keyboard were easy to get used to. Two minor gripes: the built-in mic isn’t great (but I use a Bluetooth headset anyway), and the fan can be a little annoying. It's not louder than my i9 ThinkPad, but the pitch of the fan can be grating in a quiet room. Sometimes it hits that mosquito-whine territory. If there's any white noise or ambient sound around it fades into the background. You can manage it using the MotionAssist app and TDP settings. It’s manageable.

It’s not super lap-friendly due to its shape and weight, but I do use it that way from time to time. I haven’t made much use of the tablet mode. I would’ve used it more if they had kept the active stylus from the Pocket 3, but they didn’t. The tradeoff is better screen resolution, more power under the hood, and the LTE module option, which the Pocket 3 didn’t offer.

Battery life is just okay. With my usage and screen brightness preferences I usually get 4 to 6 hours. Turning down the TDP helps stretch it, but that bright screen is essential for legibility and can be a battery drain. I carry a beefy power bank just in case. It’s enough for how I use it, but not what I’d call all-day battery.

Build quality feels solid and the keyboard action is satisfying. There haven’t been many surprises or compromises, and for the price I paid, I’m pleased. I’m working toward using this as my everything device with a dual-boot setup and some extra customization.

The stock Windows install was clean, no bloatware or weird surprises. That was refreshing. Depending on your needs you may want to swap the stock SSD. Mine came with a WD Blue drive with no DRAM cache, which shows up in slower sustained reads/writes. It’s fine for most use cases, but worth upgrading if you’re doing heavier workloads. Droix doesn’t void your warranty for that kind of swap, which I appreciated.

Despite the name, this thing does not fit in a pocket. It’s too big and heavy for that. Compared to my old slim 13" laptop, it's not a life-changing boost in portability. That said, the full-size HDMI and Ethernet ports are fantastic, and the modular expansion is a plus. You can find similar ideas from Framework laptops, and I’m curious about their new smaller models, but I don’t regret this choice. Framework didn’t have a comparable product available when I needed one, and the HX 370 processor is excellent.

I recently took a weekend trip and packed the Pocket 4 "just in case." It was *slightly* easier to carry than my 13" laptop. I didn’t end up needing it, but it was nice to have. If I ever need to work more extensively while traveling, I might pair it with my Uperfect-X lapdock for a second screen. That’s a 13" display, but I’m considering getting a 16" one to make full-day work more viable when I’m away from the desk.

I’ve only dabbled in gaming on it so far, but I was impressed. I didn’t run anything bleeding-edge, but 5/YO titles ran well and the integrated graphics held up just fine.

All in all, I hope this lengthy but honest review is helpful. This device isn’t for everyone. But if you know your habits and expectations, you can tell whether this form factor and performance profile will work for you. I’m two months in and still totally happy. It runs flawlessly, and even though the fan pitch bugged me a bit, temps stay cool and performance is excellent.

One last recommendation: get a tempered glass screen protector. I added one right away, and I barely notice it. Still crystal clear and touch-responsive. My last laptop made it nearly seven years without major screen damage, and I’d like this one to do the same.

Go...

Ordered the Win max 2 2025 370 + 32GB. Came within a little over a week. Had a little trouble with 1 pixel being dead. Droix sent a new screen ASAP. Can't go wrong with shopping here!

About the Win max 2 - The screen is sharp and pretty bright. The color accuracy isn't the greatest but you can change it with software. The sound isn't all that great either but have tried FxSound and it makes it better. Better being about par with the rog ally. The controller on the unit is ok. The joysticks are short but usable. There are 3d printed handles for the unit, they make a huge difference when using the controller.

The Keyboard is ok. I have about medium-ish sized hands and can type decently on it. Actually using the Win Max to write this review. Oh, the fan on it can be heard but it's like a big wind tunnel sound not a shrieking sound so a lot more tolerable than some other laptops that screech. Can also tone down the fan curve as well.

Not sure what else to say, I think the win max is worth the price. Especially with Droix having such great customer service! No meaningful complaints!

I’ve had my Ayaneo Pocket DMG 8GB in Arctic White from Droix for about three weeks now and it is absolutely fantastic. I wanted something that was just as capable as my Odin 2 Portal at home, but in a portable form factor. The DMG runs every console I’ve thrown at it with ease, up to secret console, without ever leaving the “game” performance profile. It’s very pocketable or fits discreetly in small belt pouches. The joystick is a pleasure to use and I’ve gotten accustomed to the trackpad, it’s quite viable for games with right stick camera adjustment. I’m about 15 hours into a DQ8 (PS2) run all from the DMG, plus around 10 hours in Pokemon Unbound (GBA), 5 hours in FE Engage (secret console), and have a couple hours in GTA Chinatown Wars (PSP), Dante’s Inferno (PSP), and Twilight Princess (GameCube). The Snapdragon G3x G2 is an insane chipset and the 6000 mah battery in there will have you gaming for hours. Also, ZERO discoloring on the white model after much pocket and outside use. Droix itself was fantastic, shipped the device fast and got it to me before the de minimis loophole closed. Plus, if you can catch it on sale for $370, that’s a huge win. It’s completely worth the $410 if you want a vertical/EDC that will never have you looking at others.

Got it on time and was a smooth interaction with customer service

Have this little device for a week, and I'm in love! It's very portable and powerful. I have all my games on the go now!

excellent quality

Super

DroiX NH8 USB Hub with NVMe

The overall quality is high, and the built-in power meter is a great idea. It would be even better, if this display could be readable in a rotated layout too - maybe with a switch to rotate the numbers, or having another display on the backside, with a rotated layout.

It was straightforward how to install, and it just works perfectly without tweaking. On Windows, there is a preinstalled app for it, on Linux I was able to use it with VLC, as a capture device.

A lot of things has been done great with this little device. The choice of AMD over Intel was a great idea, having a physical LAN port is useful, the display has 16:10 ratio and an amaying image quality, tablet mode is comfortable for reading news or ebooks. The frame looks sturdy, keyboard is usable despite its small size, and Arch linux runs great on it (it is a lot more efficient than Windows 11 actually). When I ordered, I was a bit afraid of the heat management, but as I am using it for weeks now, I can say that despite the small size, it has an adequate cooling system (I have the 8840U model). It isn't loud under Linux at all, and during gaming it won't get uncomfortably hot or noisy either. The battery also has a decent capacity compared to its small size. Speakers could sound better though, although I understand they weren't the main focus, and in general they are still OK. The KVM module works perfectly under Linux, which I am really happy about.

First off I'm probably not a typical GPD customer as I am neither a gamer or a fan of Microsoft. That being said, I loaded XUbuntu on my GPD Pocket 4 and it performs outstandingly. I had to rotate the display 90 degrees and shrink it by 50% in the XUbuntu settings, but after that it just works perfectly. Thanks so much.

I’m a newbie to Android emulation; this device was the perfect starting point. I love everything about it, especially the screen. It’s got a whopping 7-inch OLED display, and everything looks stunning. The battery life is also impressive, and the Xbox button layout is a game-changer, especially for streaming from my consoles. Trust me, you won’t regret buying it. Oh, and don’t forget to get it from Droix. They have fantastic customer service, and your purchase has a 1-year warranty.
