The GPD Pocket 3 is a mini-laptop computer with an 8 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel touchscreen display, a convertible tablet-style design that allows you to use it as a laptop or tablet, and a modular port system that allows you to swap out one of the computer’s USB ports for one of several optional modules.

The Pocket 3 went up for pre-order last month for $650 and up during an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. That campaign ended this week, but GPD is continuing to accept pre-orders through Indiegogo InDemand. You’ll just have to pay about $50 more. The Pocket 3 should begin shipping to backers in January, 2022.

Prices now range from $700 for a GPD Pocket 3 with an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD to $1049 for a version with an Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a faster 1TB SSD.

You can also pay an extra $80 for a set of modules that let you replace a USB Type-A port with either an RS-232 Serial port or a KVM module with HDMI and USB-C input, allowing you to use the computer as a handheld terminal for direct connections to servers or other PCs.

The Pocket 3 measures 198 x 137 x 20mm (7.8″ x 5.4″ x 0.8″) and weighs 725 grams (about 1.6 pounds), making it pretty small for a laptop, but not quite small enough to slide into a pocket.

It’s designed as a portable machine for IT professionals looking for a solution a little more powerful and versatile than the 5.5 inch GPD microPC, and as I noted in my GPD Pocket 3 review the new model has a decent keyboard for touch-typing, a trackpad that’s awkwardly placed above the keyboard, but which makes input fairly simple, and support for a pressure-sensitive pen for folks who’d prefer to write notes or draw on the screen.

Battery life is nothing to write home about – a model with an Intel Core i7 processor died after about 5 hours of streaming video from YouTube over WiFi. But it comes with a 65W USB-C charger which should allow you to top up the battery reasonably quickly. The mini-laptop can also be charged from a USB power bank that supports 45W or higher charging.

One other thing to keep in mind before placing an order though, is that GPD has a track record of delivering innovating, but sometimes buggy hardware. And since GPD is a small company doing business from China with little international presence, it can be difficult to get customer support or technical support if you have any problems. So I typically recommend only ordering the company’s products if you’re willing to eat the costs if you run into trouble.

Here’s a run-down of key specs for the GPD Pocket 3:

The company behind the AYA Neo handheld gaming PC is getting ready to launch a next-gen model.

An announcement is scheduled for December 28, 2021, but according to teasers, the upcoming AYA Neo Next will be a next-gen Windows gaming handheld featuring “high performance AMD cores.”

There’s no word on which AMD processor the handheld computer will use, how much it will cost, or when you’ll be able to purchase one.

The original AYA Neo features a 7 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, built-in game controllers, and an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor. It was announced last year, began shipping to customers in China in late 2020, and went global through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that ended in April, eventually shipping to customers this summer.

In August the company introduced a higher-performance AYA Neo Pro model with a Ryzen 7 4800U processor.

At this point it’s unclear what changes AYA has in store for its next-gen model, which may or may not actually be called the AYA Neo Next when it launches (that name screams placeholder, as it would likely feel pretty dated a year or two from now).

An upgrade to AMD Ryzen 5000U processor options seems likely. Rival One Netbook already offers its ONEXPLAYER handheld gaming PC with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor (or up to an Intel Core i7-1195G7 chip for folks who prefer Intel over AMD).

But AMD is also expected to unveil its Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors in the coming weeks, so there’s at least a sleight chance that AYA’s next handheld will use an even newer processor.

AYA may also be tweaking the physical design of its handheld.

While the original AYA Neo and AYA Neo Pro are tapered inward at the left and right edges, a teaser image posted to Facebook suggests the new model could have a slightly larger grip area that extends beyond the bottom edge of the handheld – although there’s also a possibility we could be looking at a tablet with removable Nintendo Switch-style controllers.
