Reminds me of the Toshiba Libretto from waaayyy back.

Good for service engineers though better connectivity could help there.

For the price they should have given this the lenovo style hinge to transform it into a 2in1 with perhaps an option to use a stylus to help with touch issues

[WINTERMUTE_AI]

Noticed they added a bracket to hold the battery connector in, thats good, wonder if it helps with the battery disconnect issues they were having.

I can't help but feel like you were so angry about it being an atom that behind the camera you had steam blowing out your ears lmao don't mind me being random.

[euroker]

Yes! Been using it for almost two months now. Light office work on the go. And it fits in my body bag or my pocket.

Yeah, I have a big laptop and I upgraded it from Windows 7 to Windows 10 the day before yesterday, and the updates took longer than the Windows 10 installation, so I know what you mean about the Win 10 updates.

Good review, as always,
This with Qualcom 835/845 and WindowsOnArm W10 would be a dream come true.

I really wish Lenovo would just make a 12 Inch 3/4 Thinkpad again. Having the full size keyboard in the smallest possible form factor was incredible.

[halsmypal]

IBM called it Trackpoint. Some people call it a pointing stick or an "eraser".

[alanpearly]

Didn't Microsoft announced that doesn't want to update Windows for Atom (and Apollo) anymore? Doesn't mean that these devices are dead?

[cdromuser]

great review as always. I don't understand who would prefer this over let's say cube mix plus. Yes they don't look alike, but cost about the same, cube is much more powerful, wifi is better, touchscreen is easier to use, it has more screen real estate, it has TF card slot, doesn't have full-size USB though, , cube is fanless and I think it is better, if you don't use cube attachable keyboard the weight is about the same, and typing on this cramped keyboard is no better than typing on a screen keyboard. Dimension-wise cube is much bigger but also much thinner, and let's be honest would you really take this GPD to your pocket? I believe they both require a small bag.

I watched this video on my GPD Pocket. Pretty much agree with everything said here, though my wifi reception seems fine.

[driftertraining]

i was hoping to get this in the near future despite the pros and cons which I'm fine but wifi card and ram speed seems to be a hassle.. is this going to be a big issue ? just asking, ( just watched other utube reviews, etc including austin and linus's review seems to be positive or ok)

[PuyTamer]

Core m... Plus infinity screen at 8 inches would be awesome

[donaldxhemollari]

please see if you can get the maze alpha borderless smartphone

[AdmiralSym]

Do you think you could try to boot remix OS on it? I'm thinking to buy this to dual boot that OS because a desktop android environment looks to be a suitable option.

[garywzh]

the linux version is pretty good for IT ops

[ligh]

Chris, when you get the Maze Alpha can you compare it to the Doogee Mix?

[SRC]

You spelt 'quality' wrong in the Pro/Cons summary screen at 14:58

[shiznuts]

I'm quite curious about the Gemini PDA.
I've seen the GPD Pocket as well, just found it looked a little too... eh... clunky?
Do appreciate that it has a trackpoint.
