AMD's new Zen 5 chips are making their first appearance in handheld systems.
Is it a laptop? Is it a tablet? Is it a gaming handheld? No, it’s just the new GPD Pocket 4, and it’s a bit of all three — although without much of an emphasis on “gaming.” Unlike the Steam Deck, GPD ’s new mini-PC packs some of the latest hardware and could blow away its competitors.
Recommended Videos Aside from performance gains, though, the device comes equipped with an 8.8-inch 2,560 by 1,600 touchscreen with a 144Hz refresh rate that can reach up to 500 nits of brightness. Some of the other specs include LPDDR5X RAM running at 7,500MT/s and up to 4TB of SSD storage. On its product page, GPD doesn’t place much emphasis on gaming, although it’s mentioned here and there in regard to system performance. The company instead leans into the impressive versatility that this mini-PC serves up. The keyboard is bound to be nice both for gamers and creatives, but there’s also a lot of flexibility — you can use the GPD Pocket 4 in laptop and tablet modes, and the screen can rotate up to 180 degrees. Honestly, it’s more of a tiny 2-in-1 laptop than a gaming handheld.
