  • - Hey guys this is Austin.

  • This is the GPD Pocket, as one of the world's

  • smallest laptops with a seven-inch display.

  • It's kind of crazy what you're able

  • to get inside such a small form factor.

  • But today, today it's time for an update.

  • So inside this slightly suspicious looking box,

  • is a pre-production version of the brand new Pocket 2.

  • Now on Indiegogo this just went live

  • and is already way, way past its goal.

  • So with some much nicer retail packaging

  • we have the Pocket itself.

  • Now what made the original Pocket pretty cool

  • was that it is a full Windows laptop in a tiny form-factor.

  • And this, this is actually going to be even smaller

  • and almost more importantly than that,

  • it's going to be more powerful.

  • So its actually got a little bit more of a taper now.

  • So if we put it side by side with the original,

  • you'll see that that one was little

  • on the thicker and chunkier side.

  • But not only is this is going to be a little bit thinner,

  • but it even has more ports.

  • So unlike something like 12 inch Macbook

  • which has a single USB-C port,

  • this tiny seven inch laptop has

  • not only a pair of USB-A ports,

  • but also a micro-SD, headphone jack, and a full USB-C port.

  • One thing that Pocket definitely

  • has down is build quality.

  • The entire thing is going to be made

  • out of aluminum and it feels incredibly sturdy.

  • Typically speaking when you're talking

  • about something that's this small

  • you expect it to feel kinda plasticy or cheap,

  • but that is definitely not the case.

  • That even comes across to the hinge.

  • Seriously this thing is built incredibly, incredibly well.

  • As opposed to the Atom processor the original version,

  • this guy is rocking a full Core m3.

  • That's gonna make a big difference

  • to performance and while that's typically

  • going to be found in fan-less designs,

  • because this guy is going to be so small

  • it does a somewhat loud fan.

  • So it's kinda helpful that there is going

  • to be a little button that can mostly mute the fan

  • on the keyboard, probably because they know

  • that it gets a little annoying.

  • But the nice thing is that you're actually going

  • to be getting some pretty serious performance

  • out of such a tiny, thin laptop.

  • This model is paired with four gigabytes of RAM

  • and a 128 gigabyte SSD.

  • Now if you take a look at the Indiegogo page

  • it's clear that a lot more people are opting

  • for the eight gig model, but for more basic use,

  • four gig is actually going to be okay.

  • But again, I think most people who are

  • really hardcore about these things,

  • are gonna want the max spec they can get.

  • Now the 128 gigabyte SSD is going to be

  • a little bit on the lower end.

  • But again, it's a seven inch laptop.

  • Sure it's not going to be the fastest thing in the world,

  • but it's totally fine for normal use.

  • This guy is going to be running

  • a full version of Windows 10.

  • Don't let the looks fool you,

  • it is going to be a proper little laptop.

  • Which of course only means one thing,

  • its time, to play some Fortnite.

  • - [Ken in Background] Is it?

  • - Yeah of course it is. What do you mean?

  • It's Fortnite time! Don't you want views Ken?

  • Don't you want to see how Fortnite runs

  • on a seven inch laptop, on the world's smallest laptop?

  • I thought so.

  • - [Ken] Not really.

  • - Well too bad. Cause I've already

  • got Fortnite loaded and you can't stop me.

  • Do we dare go down to potato mode?

  • Do we do full 360p?

  • At first glance it, it can run the loading screen.

  • Wait a minute. This is actually, this works!

  • I mean I'm at like 28 frames-per-second, I'd buy that.

  • Now as you might imagine with a laptop that's this small,

  • You definitely, definitely need a mouse.

  • The keyboard actually does kind of work though.

  • It's not ideal, but as long as I have a mouse,

  • it actually doesn't feel so bad.

  • Alright, so Fortnite. Playable on the seven inch

  • if you, don't enjoy, your own sanity.

  • The screen isn't bad. So it's a seven inch panel

  • with a 1920 by 1200 resolution.

  • Which is going to be plenty sharp on a display this size.

  • Now this is going to be pre-production hardware,

  • so you can't judge it too harshly.

  • But my main issue is going to be the brightness.

  • It just isn't all that bright.

  • While it's going to be somewhat color accurate,

  • it does lean a little bit on the cooler side.

  • Hopefully by the time this actually ships

  • to everyone who is buying it on Indiegogo,

  • and on Amazon later this year,

  • they will be able to get a little

  • of a brighter panel in this guy.

  • Compared to the original Pocket,

  • the keyboard has been tweaked,

  • and definitely for the better.

  • So not only is it going to be a little bit taller,

  • so before there going to be some wasted space,

  • but they've also gotten rid of this little nub.

  • Instead there's going to be this tiny little touch pad.

  • Which is not only going to be used as

  • a tiny, tiny little cursor, but you can also click it.

  • It's a little bit weird, but the biggest difference

  • is definitely going to be in the better keyboard layout.

  • Still going to be small and hard to get used to,

  • but it is a big improvement.

  • The real way to use this is going to be

  • to take advantage of the touchscreen.

  • Now it is going to be pretty accurate,

  • the biggest issue is just because it is so small.

  • A lot of the Windows touch targets are tiny,

  • but once you get some scaling on this guy,

  • it's not going to be so bad.

  • - [Austin On The Screen] And 360 watts,

  • that's a lot of watts my friends.

  • - The speaker is not exactly going to be all that great,

  • it gets pretty loud, but the issue is,

  • I think it's kind of hidden underneath the keyboard.

  • There's no obvious sort of spot where

  • it's actually going to be exhausting sound.

  • Can you exhaust sound? That's not a thing.

  • At already $600 in Indiegogo for the higher-end model,

  • and it's going to be even more expensive

  • when it's available on retail sale later this year.

  • The GPD Pocket 2 is not going to be for everyone.

  • But it's a dope little laptop

  • and while there's always going to be

  • more and more different thin and light laptops,

  • that are going to be going for that world's thinnest title,

  • I've got to say going for the world's smallest laptop,

  • actually has a lot of value to it.

  • I mean come on! This thing actually fits in your pocket.

- Hey guys this is Austin.
