I will start by saying that for a such a tiny device the whole thing feels more like a quality laptop than a "toy" that you may expect. This is a serious piece of kit (as it should be at the price!) for getting work done.
The keyboard is very nice, compared to a Macbook Pro, it is like-for-like typing feel if a little constrained by the size which is to be expected.
Performance is exceptional, in fact, I am replacing my desktop Windows PC with it. The built in GPU seems up to the task - I would just say switch off things like FPS counters and benchmarking and just enjoy some games without worrying how many frames per second you are getting - it all feels fine which is the most important thing, many titles that are recent additions to Gamepass work flawlessly on it and you always have that USB 4 port if you want to explore using an eGPU later down the line.
As for the one annoyance, it's the screen, it is lovely to look at BUT they appear to have done something odd with the rotation, in all but Windows the screen is incorrectly rotated. I think they may have used a portrait orientated panel, as it is always 90 degrees counter clockwise rotated outside Windows. It can be corrected with settings, but makes it very hard to navigate things like GRUB bootloaders or the desktop until it is done via commands.

Everything is good. It’s a great laptop that doesn’t have a good battery life and a 2 in one laptop+heater. It does test you and I guess that’s a good thing. And also I can’t forget the ONE MONTH delay, tested my patience so much. All aside, the laptop is amazing, I would prefer this more than other laptops. Just the screen isn’t that good, which it was oled and curve edges. The bezel is incredibly wide. The tablet mode isn’t quite tablet mode.
All the ports are GREAT. Amazing. Support services are amazing. At first yes, not very friendly and sounds VERY SARCASTIC. Well in my opinion. Nevertheless, amazing. Recommend, or maybe not.

Although it was difficult to install the LTE module, I successfully installed it and am now using LTE.

Still playing around with it so far exactly what i wanted. Small Powerfull working machine.

works great with either the gpd hdmi app or Windows camera app, you need to plug in the HDMI source then it appears as a second camera in the camera app

USB-c for keyboard works great too

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
