Does this have bypass charging? Meaning when it’s connected to the outlet using the adapter, it would not draw power from the battery?
finally an AMD mini laptop to slap on linux and have as my daily driver.
Where do i subscribe for release date?

Hallo,
gibt es das Teil auch mal mit einer QUERTZ-Tastatur, ich wär schon ganz scharf drauf?
Gruß
Leider gibt es nur eine QWERTY-Tastatur
du meinst wohl nur QWERTY?
Ja, nur QWERTY
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?
Its something we could see in the future for definite. These mobile processors are becoming very high performance now.
So, the power button still not accessible in tablet mode?
The power button is on the front right side, you will be able to access it in laptop and tablet modes.
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.
Thank you for your interest in the GPD Pocket 4 and potential future variants. You’re correct that the current GPD Pocket 4 utilizes the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which is part of the Strix Point APU family.
Regarding a potential Strix Halo version in this form factor, there’s currently no official announcement from GPD about such a variant. However, your interest in different GPU configurations is well-founded, as AMD has reportedly pitched various Strix Halo SKUs to OEMs, including lower-power options.
The Strix Halo APUs are expected to be released in 2025, while Strix Point is a 2024 product. Given the GPD Pocket series’ history of adopting cutting-edge processors, it’s possible that future iterations might incorporate Strix Halo variants, but this is speculative at this point. You’re right to consider power consumption and battery life. The current GPD Pocket 4 has a 44.8Wh battery offering up to 9 hours of video playback. A Strix Halo variant, especially with higher CU counts, would likely require careful power management to maintain similar battery life in this compact form factor. AMD’s configurable TDP options do indeed offer flexibility, which could potentially allow for a Strix Halo variant in a similar form factor. However, the thermal design and power delivery would need to be carefully balanced to maintain performance and battery life.For now, the GPD Pocket 4 with its Strix Point APU offers a significant performance boost over previous generations.
We’ll have to wait for official announcements regarding any future Strix Halo-based models in this form factor. Keep an eye on GPD’s official channels for any updates on future products. If you have specific performance needs, I’d be happy to discuss how the current GPD Pocket 4 might meet those requirements.
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.
The AMD processor will give it an amazing boost in CPU performance, especially when using it with an eGPU. And the great thing is you can continue using the eGPU with the new model.
Crazy specs, but just rehashed design. Pass.
Thank you for your feedback on the GPD Pocket 4. We understand that if you’re already using an older model with an Intel CPU, upgrading might not seem like a significant leap due to the design similarities.
However, you might want to check out the upcoming GPD Duo, which offers a different approach with its dual-screen setup. The Duo features two 13.3-inch OLED displays that can be extended to provide an 18-inch viewing area. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and offers impressive specs like up to 64GB of RAM and up to 16TB of storage. This makes it particularly appealing for multitasking and productivity, though it’s a bit larger and heavier than the Pocket series.
If dual screens and enhanced performance appeal to you, the GPD Duo could be worth considering as your next device. Keep in mind that it’s designed with power users in mind, particularly those needing more screen real estate and processing power for demanding tasks.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
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?
Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We will be updating weight once we have more information and I have informed our team to hide it as we don’t know correct weight as of now.
Count me out, at that price point i wont be wasting money on a pocket size PC.
As mentioned on the product page. The price is a placeholder based on our rough estimate for the configuration. When pre-orders are live we will use the final price. The Pocket 4 may not be for everyone, there are different sized GPD models to suit everyone’s requirements, even a dual screen laptop (GPD Duo) coming soon.
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 ?
I could not see any mention of 1800g in the article. The weight has not been announced yet, but it will definitely be lower than 1kg.
When will this be available?
As mentioned in the last paragraph, no release date just yet. But we expect it by November or so.
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?
Asking the important questions there.
I kinda wished they replaced with their own logo or a stylised “S” since it is also know as the Super key
