I have a GPD Micro PC running Linux that fits in my pocket. It’s been a very useful device, even has a classic serial port which I have used in data center to access a server which had lost all it’s network interfaces, found to be caused by a counterfeit nic card which failed.

I see others claiming GPD has bad build quality. That’s not my experience at all.

I’m currently looking to upgrade to something more powerful I can carry around hopefully just as easy. I’m leaning towards either their GPD Win 4 [0] [1] or the very latest GPD Win Mini.

Their occulink port and USB4 is the real deal and allows eGPUs both for gaming and compute.

Though I’m not a gamer I’m currently leaning towards the Win 4 because it has a dock system and an LTE module, which the Win Mini lacks both. However perhaps the Win Mini keyboard and form factor is more conventional.
