Pocket 4: Mini Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 8840U CPU, Radeon 780M GPU, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, 8.8 Inch 2.5K 144Hz Display, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Modular AI Handheld PC

so far i love it.

I like the arrangement of the keyboard. Quick response. and durable. Touchscreen is nice as well. Waqiting 3 weeks for it was a bummer though.

Literally has a screw in the HDMI port. On top of that it doesn’t have the memory that is advertised. Not worth your time

This provides a full powered laptop, with more memory and processing power than some other full sized laptops, in a small durable case, and with more high speed connectors than many. Of course, although the screen is bright and sharp, it is an 8.8 inch diagonal screen, and the keyboard is smaller, but the keyboard spacing is about as well spaced as it can be, and with some practice you can do some touch typing, although maybe not quite as fast. I think for someone who commutes or travels with their laptop this can be a handy alternative.

Exactly what I needed and it has exceeded my expectations. Very satisfied, a tool with purpose for work or multi-media use and perfect for traveling ..

Do you want the good or the bad first? At $2,050, I'd buy it again. Should tell you something. It's my primary windows laptop. It's not imperfect, but it is adequate to great depending on the category. The bad/annoying: 1. Letters on the keyboard are comically large. It looks... off. 2. The GPD tool doesn't ship with it, but it works well once you find it. I did have to look up how to turn that tool to English. That should use the system settings. Not sure why it doesn't. It gives access to hardware settings that are handy. 3. The magnet latch for the lid is obnoxiously strong. 4. It sounds like a helicopter. The GPD tool lets you turn the fan to balanced mode or quiet mode. Obviously, gauge that with your heat. If you're gaming, keep it on helicopter. 5. Finger. Prints. Everywhere. 6. I think they tried to out a screen protector on it. When I peeled the film the whole protector came off. 7. It's thicker than I expected. I thought the screen panel would be thinner. Obviously, this was a matter of research. I wish I could have held it first. 8. Battery is not as advertised. I expected that though. They say 6-8 hours with just web browsing. If you're getting that then your screen brightness would have to be basically off. I get maybe 4. Two if gaming. This is not unexpected, they fit in as much battery as they could. 9. One of the USB-A ports is upside down. This is by design, not a flaw, but weird. I can only think it's a feature. Maybe a dongle that is too thick on one side so you can flip it and plug it in the other side? But I keep having to flip cables. 10. Fingerprint reader is nearly useless. It doesn't read 80% of the time. This is the only thing on the list so far that's really a huge hardware failure. The same tech is used on the iPad and it never misses. It's very annoying. It fails a few times and then I have to type in my pin. 11. I wish the screen tilted when rotated. That's probably a tall order mechanically. I don't blame them for this one. 12. They shipped it with an annoying partition table. I killed the D drive taking most of my storage and merged it with C. Quick fix in disk manager. 13. It didn't ask me to sign into my Microsoft account. They've set up windows strangely. Probably because they have people using it as a terminal. I had to hunt down how to add mine so all my syncing worked. 14. I really wish it was active touch so I could fold it over and write on it with a proper stylus. Would have really been an improvement. 15. It wouldn't sleep. This was very annoying. Stayed on with the fans spinning if you closed the lid. A driver update from AMD and a windows update or two and it fixed itself. But hard to overlook out of the box. The good: 1. This thing is so small and convenient. I don't have a problem with the screen size. I use this as my primary windows laptop and have no regrets. It does get docked when at a desk usually. 2. The trackpad placement is AMAZING. Flows so well with your hand just falling there after typing. I love it. This is one of the biggest innovations in laptop history. I have not used the mouse buttons on the left. 3. Having real USB-A ports in 2026 is a miracle and is appreciated. The port options are so nice. Ethernet. I bought the serial port add on. I can't believe the features that are annoying added dongles on other laptops. 4. It feels premium. The dark aluminum is very nice. 5. The keyboard is as comfortable as it possibly could be given the constraints. I do with the apostrophe wasn't so low, but I'm getting used to it. 6. The gaming is very very strong. It's so fast. I did get the ryzen 9 variant. 7. If you're a gamer, check this out, THEY USE THE STOCK DRIVERS FROM AMD!!!! The legion go or similar devices require you to wait for the manufacturer to update their driver package and they rarely do. I can use the latest ones off of the AMD site. I love love this. Never goes out of support. 8. With the GPD tool you can control the power to the gpu to control heat. Anything over 18-22W is just heat waste with diminishing returns. Love this level of control. You do have to find the tool though. 9. The instruction manual has decent English grammar and the box feels luxury. Was nice given the price tag. 10. The convenience is unparalleled. I have to carry two laptops for work. I try to travel light. So it's a MacBook Air and then this thing. Such a light backpack now. 11. Comes with a 100W charger. That's overkill, but nice of them to include a charger at all these days. Overall, I love it. It would have 5 stars if that darn finger print sensor worked at least 50% of the time. I'd buy it again. It's almost exactly what I wanted.

This costs $180 in parts tops
