You can always be surprised by the innovations brought by portable device manufacturers, especially companies like GPD, which is on a mission to reshape the way we look at the world of compact devices. This company is known for introducing unique products, especially portable devices and laptops, and one such example is the GPD Win Max 2, a portable device that comes with its own keyboard. Now the company has decided to step into the “dual screen” laptop segment, offering its latest GPD DUO OLED laptop devices in multiple configurations.
Starting with the specifications, the GPD DUO OLED became the first device from this manufacturer to feature AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 APU, specifically the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which is one of the strongest offerings in the series. However, consumers can also buy a device with AMD’s Hawk Point APU, the Ryzen 7 8840U, if they want to not spend too much on such a device. In addition, the GPD DUO offers up to 64GB of LPDDR5 memory, as well as up to 2TB of storage space, meaning the laptop is packed with premium specs when you consider it for a compact device.
The most intriguing factor about the GPD DUO is its “dual screen” design, which means that one laptop device is equipped with two “adjustable screens”, allowing consumers to have multiple settings at their fingertips. This idea is not completely new, as ACEMAGIC presented a solution called “ACEMAGIC X1”.
As for the GPD DUO, the laptop has two 13.3-inch AMOLED screens, with a maximum resolution of 2880 × 1800, as well as a 60 Hz refresh rate, which is certainly not too tempting for gaming-oriented consumers. The screens can be adjusted 360 degrees around the hinge as a central point, and unlike the ACEMAGIC X1, which places screens on the left and right of the user, the GPD DUO focuses on expanding the “vertical” perspective, which has its advantages and disadvantages, and how the individual user sees the product, it varies.
GPD DUO is also equipped with several other functions, such as support for WiFi-6E and Bluetooth 5.3, as well as a USB4 Type-C port and a dedicated OCuLink port for external connectivity. All in all, the GPD DUO is a solid choice on paper, offering the high-end features one would expect from a compact device, but the real dilemma lies in whether the idea of a “dual-screen laptop” is useful to a wider audience or even sustainable in the long term. deadline.
Pricing is structured based on new information released by the company, which shows that the most expensive configuration will go on sale for $1,971 with a discounted price of $1,860, which is quite steep. The variant with the Hawk Point APU will have a retail price of $1,425 with a discount to $1,270 (Indiegogo discount). The manufacturer is also working on a brand new portable device, the “Pocket 4”, which will be the first device on the market with the Strix Ryzen AI 300 APU.
The manufacturer’s pre-order page lists higher prices for the Hawk Point APU with 16 GB of memory and a 512 GB SSD for $2,100, while the Strix Point variant with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD is listed at $2,640. GPD DUO is expected on the market on November 22.
