Back in August, GPD unveiled the Pocket 4 mini laptop, breaking ground as potentially the pioneer handheld to incorporate AMD’s latest Strix Point APUs. Now, they’ve rolled out the pricing details over at X. Starting off, the handhelds are priced at $895 for the model sporting AMD’s Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 8840U, and if you’re aiming for the top-tier experience, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 model will set you back a hefty $1,466, but it boasts 64GB of RAM and a spacious 2TB of storage.
Weighing just 770g, the GPD Pocket 4 mini is designed to function effortlessly as a handheld, laptop, or tablet. It comes equipped with a physical keyboard, touch screen, and even a touchpad. The latest iteration utilizes AMD’s Zen 4 (Hawk Point) and Zen 5 (Strix Point) APUs, crafted to cater to various price points. Across the models, you can expect consistent essentials aside from differences in APU and RAM/SSD capacities. The Pocket Mini 4 impresses with memory clocked at 7,500 MT/s, a 2.5K 8.8-inch display running at 144 Hz featuring a 97% DCI-P3 color gamut with 500 nits brightness, plus it offers Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and a 28W TDP.
According to the official list, the starting price for the GPD Pocket 4 is $895, but you can snag it for $829 during the IGG campaign. This base model is powered by AMD’s Radeon 7 8840U APU, which features eight Zen 4 cores and the Radeon 780M iGPU, along with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The more budget-friendly Strix Point version comes with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 365, boasting 10 Zen 5 cores and the Radeon 880M iGPU. Retailing at $1,157, it offers a generous 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, satisfying even substantial storage requirements.
For those who want the best of the best, the flagship Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 comes powered with 12 Zen 5 cores and AMD’s swiftest Radeon 890M iGPU. This variant maxes out at 64GB of RAM and 2TB of storage for $1,466, though a 4TB version is available as well.
In addition to the main models, GPD has introduced some handy add-ons: an EIA RS-232 module for older devices priced at $20, and a 4G LTE module priced at $125 for connectivity wherever you are. One thing to note, though, is that the Pocket 4 lacks an OCuLink port, meaning you’ll need to rely on USB4 if you’re looking to pair it with an eGPU.
As of now, GPD hasn’t provided a solid release date for the Pocket 4, but with a successful crowdfunding campaign, it’s likely we’ll see it available by year-end.
It’s crucial to remember that backing a crowdfunded project doesn’t guarantee you’ll receive a finished product. Essentially, you’re investing in the potential and success of a project rather than purchasing a guaranteed retail item.
