GPD has finally lifted the veil on the prices of its highly anticipated Pocket 4, a revolutionary mini-laptop that reinvents the concept of mobility. Weighing just 770g, this hybrid device combines the functionality of a laptop, tablet and handheld device.
That’s it, we finally know that the Pocket 4 range will start at $895 for the base model, but first-time buyers will be able to benefit from a preferential rate of $829 during the IGG crowdfunding campaign. This entry-level version features an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor, equipped with eight Zen 4 cores and a Radeon 780M GPU, accompanied by 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD.
For more demanding users, the intermediate version, offered at $1,157, chooses the Ryzen AI 9 HX 365 processor. The latter integrates 10 Zen 5 cores and a Radeon 880M graphics part, coupled with 32 GB of RAM and an SSD of 2 TB. The high-end model, priced at $1,466, features the powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, with its 12 Zen 5 cores and its Radeon 890M GPU, supported by up to 64 GB of RAM.
