When fully extended, this innovative design reveals an expansive 18-inch vertical display, perfect for productivity tasks that benefit from a larger screen area, such as editing documents, coding, or multitasking.

The secondary screen can be folded behind the primary one, seamlessly transforming the device into a conventional laptop form factor. This flexibility allows users to switch between standard laptop use and a tablet-like experience, with both screens accessible depending on the need. When fully folded, the device is as compact as an A4 sheet of paper, enhancing portability and making it an ideal companion for professionals on the go.

Additionally, the GPD Pocket 4 features a full-size keyboard and a standard trackpad, delivering a practical, user-friendly experience that stands out in a market often dominated by less convenient setups, like those requiring separate Bluetooth keyboards. This design mirrors the efficiency seen in devices like the Asus Zen - Book Duo, offering a streamlined, all-in-one solution that adapts to a wide range of scenarios, ensuring that users have the tools they need in a compact, portable form. Cutting-Edge AMD Processor: Power and Efficiency in the GPD Duo The GPD Duo is pushing boundaries with its upcoming hardware, featuring the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, code-named Strix Point.

Built on the cutting-edge Zen5 architecture and manufactured using a 4nm process, this powerhouse boasts 12 cores and 24 threads, with turbo frequencies reaching up to 5.1GHz. Designed for demanding tasks and seamless gaming, this processor represents the pinnacle of mobile computing technology. According to GPD's internal testing, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 holds its own against desktop CPUs.

It matches the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X in single-core tests and outpaces the Ryzen 9 5950X in multi-core workloads in the Cinebench 2024 benchmarks. With 80 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of raw computing power and the inclusion of a cutting-edge XDNA 2 architecture NPU delivering 50 TOPS, this chip outclasses competitors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and the Apple M4's 10-core CPU. It’s not just about raw power; the architecture focuses on maximizing efficiency, so it’s optimized for both performance and energy use.

With a configurable TDP (Thermal Design Power) of up to 60W, the Duo's processor offers flexibility in balancing peak performance with energy efficiency, making it well-suited for power users and gamers alike. For users looking for a more energy-efficient alternative, the GPD Duo also offers an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U configuration paired with the Radeon 780M GPU. This option balances productivity and gaming performance, offering an efficient solution without compromising capability.

Advanced Integrated Graphics The Duo doesn’t stop at CPU performance. Its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor integrates the Radeon 890M GPU, which is based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture. With 16 compute units and 1024 stream processors, this GPU delivers a 33% increase in specifications compared to its predecessor.

This translates to a substantial 36% performance improvement, allowing the Duo to compete with discrete GPUs. In fact, the Radeon 890M outperforms the NVIDIA Ge - Force RTX 2050 (mobile version) and nearly rivals the RTX 3050 in 3DMark Time - Spy benchmarks—an impressive feat for integrated graphics. For users needing powerful graphics for creative tasks like video editing or graphic design, the Radeon 890M, paired with the Duo's dual 13.3-inch OLED displays, is a dream setup.

The OLED screens, with their 2880 × 1800 resolution and 100% coverage of Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces, ensure stunning visual fidelity. Factory-calibrated for color accuracy with a Delta E < 1, the Duo is a solid choice for professionals who demand precision in their work. Gaming and Expandability The GPD Duo is not only a productivity beast but also a capable gaming machine.

While it might not match high-end dedicated gaming laptops, it can handle modern games at medium settings, making it an ideal portable gaming companion. The unique dual-screen setup adds another dimension to gaming, enabling expanded views or innovative control layouts on the secondary screen. For users wanting even more power, the Duo includes an OCu - Link port, which supports external GPU (e - GPU) connections.

This feature offers a significant graphics boost when needed, allowing for enhanced gaming and creative workloads on demand. Whether you’re working, gaming, or creating, the GPD Duo is engineered to meet the challenge with versatility and power.
