hey guys this is Austin this is the GPD pocket now as one of the world's smallest laptops with a 7-inch display it's kind of crazy what you're able to get in 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 - you know an IndieGoGo this just went live and it's 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 and a tiny form factor and this this is actually going to be even smaller and almost more important than that it's going to be more powerful so it's actually got a little bit more of a taper now so I put it side-by-side with the original you'll see that that one was a little bit on the thicker and chunkier side but now is this going to be a little bit thinner but it even has more ports so unlike something like the 12-inch MacBook which has a single USBC port this tiny 7 inch laptop has not only a pair of USB a ports but also a microSD headphone jack and a full USB C port one thing the 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 would expect it to feel kind of plastic a or cheap 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 in 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 fanless designs because this guy is going to be so small it does have a somewhat loud spin so it's kind of helpful if there is going to be a little button which can mostly mute the fan on the keyboard probably because they know that it gets a little bit annoying but the nice thing is that you're actually going to be getting some pretty serious performance out of such a tiny and 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 8 gig model but if you're more basic use 4 gig is actually going to be ok but again I think most people who are really hardcore about these things are gonna want the Mac spec that you can get now the 128 gigabyte SSD is going to be a little bit on the lower end but again it's a 7 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 means only one thing it's time to play some fortnight yeah of course it is what do you mean it's fortnight times don't you don't you want views Ken don't you want to see how for night runs on a 7-inch laptop on the world's smallest laptop I thought so well too bad because I've already got four night loaded and you can't stop me do we get dare go down to potato mode do we do full 360 P hey first let's it um can run the loading screen wait a minute this is actually this works I mean I made like 28 frames per second I'd buy that now as you might imagine where the laptops is this small you definitely definitely need a mouse the keyboard actually does kind of work though it's not ideal as long as I have a mouse it actually doesn't feel so bad all right support Knight playable on the seven-inch if you don't enjoy your own sanity the screen isn't bad so it's a 7 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 well it's going to be somewhat color accurate it does leave a little bit on the cooler side hopefully by the time this actually ships to everyone who's buying it on IndieGoGo went on Amazon later this year they will be able to get a little bit 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 going to be a little bit taller so before there was 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 though 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 too bad sixty 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 its 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 you can use all sound that's not a thing at all ready $600 on 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 well it's a dope little laptop and well there's always going to be more and more different thin 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
