GPD POCKET 3 Pentium version review![UMPC I was looking for]

GPD Pocket 3, which was conducting crowdfunding on Indiegogo, has arrived, so we will review it!

The footprint is a compactness of the iPad mini, a 8 -inch one -handed UMPC (ultra -small laptop)!

There are two types of GPD Pocket 3: the Ultimate version of Core i7-1195G7/16GB/1TB and the PRO version of Pentium Silver N6000/8GB/512GB.

The Ultimate version is reviewed in ↓, and the housing size is compared with other UMPCs and iPads, so please see ↓ for detailed reviews of GPD Pocket 3.

In this article, we will look at the Pentium version, the benchmark score and others.

GPD Pocket 3 has ended crowdfunding, but is scheduled to be released in the domestic version in late January.

Currently, we are accepting reservations on this page in the sky, which is a regular distributor, or on Amazon ↓.

The Ultimate version is 138,890 yen including tax, and the PRO version is 86,000 yen.

I purchased the Pentium version because there are three personal use: reading, writing an email, writing an article, and browsing the web.

The processing performance is sufficient for Pentium N6000, and the longer the battery drive time, the better.

Although it is crisp for the above application, games and video editing are impossible, so if you are thinking about such heavy use, let's use the Core i7 version!

Let's take a look!

table of contents

First of all, it is a review of the specifications.

The item separated by slash is Core i7 version on the left side of the slash and the Pentium version on the right.

Core i7 version/Pentium version is both 10nm process, i7 is 4 cores 8 threads, N6000 is 4 cores and 4 threads.

At first it is Windows 10, but you can upgrade to Windows 11 at the initial setting stage.Therefore, this time it is Windows 11 from the beginning.

The processing speed is naturally faster in the Core i7 version, while the battery drive time is warned to N6000.In the case of low load, the Pentium version is about 6 hours longer.

Next is the exterior and bundled items.

GPD products are luxurious every time.

In the crafan version, a pen pressure detection pen and strap are attached as an extra.

The bundled items including that are as follows.

Body, USB-C charger, USB-C to C cable, manual.In addition, the bonus of the crafan is a strap and a pen pressure inspection pen.

The manual supports Japanese.

The charger is a 45W PD charger.However, this attached charger is not used because it can be charged without any problems with the USB charger that is usually used.

The size is neither large nor small for 45W.

I use 65W and smaller than this.

This is a 4,096 -step brush pressure inspection pen.It is a 2 button type.

The cursor follows the pen tip without touching the screen, and when swinging on the screen, the pen tip is a few millimeters of comma.

It is a battery drive, not a battery.↓

Attach the attached strap like ↓.The strap hole has a narrow hole, and it is impossible to use a SIM pin with a finger.

The above is a bonus.

The main body of the main subject is a wonderful size.Although it is heavy as a UMPC, it is compact that can be held with one hand with plenty of time.

And the keyboard is wonderful, and the pitch is more than 16mm.Despite the irregular arrangement, if you get used to it, you can fully touch.You can also enter the hyphen by pressing one key.In addition, the touchpad is also wider, and it is quite easy to use along with the mouse button on the upper left.The power button in the middle is also a fingerprint authentication sensor.

The exterior of the full metal is full of luxury.GPD logo on the top plate.Exquisite size that you will want to carry anywhere together with the size that can be held with one hand.

Equipped with a 2-in-one mechanism of the FMV LOOX U type that can be tablet when you open the screen and rotate it 180 degrees and then close it.I'm worried that the 180 -degree rotation axis (about 7 mm in diameter in the center of the hinge) will not break, but it seems to be okay for now.

It looks yellowish, but the theme of Windows 11 is orange, so it is only yellowed by translucent processing.The color of the liquid crystal is beautiful.

The display opens to the maximum ↓.

USB3 on the right side.2 Gen2 Type-A is two and earphone jacks.

On the left side, USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C (Core i7 version is Thunderbolt 4) and HDMI2.0.

The back port is a module type and can be replaced.

By default, the following USB3.It is 2 Gen1 Type-A, but it can also be used for RS-232 and KVM, so if you use it, it would be convenient to order an optional module.

As I wrote at the beginning, I only decided that the default USB-A was enough because it was only email, browsing and writing.

This is the bottom.It is a waste heat hole.

The weight is 725g for actual measurement.Although it is heavy for UMPC, it is very lightweight for a clam shell PC.

Look at the benchmark score.

First, Cinebench R23 is 666PTS and multi is 2,335pts.

↓ The Core i7 version was 1,438pts, 3,958pts, so 2 in the single.2 times, 1 with multi.7 times.

The score of CrystalDiskMark is as follows.The Core i7 version is also in the above article, but is more than twice as fast as the Pentium version.

For the difference around the storage, the storage is the Core i7 version PCIe 3.0/4.0, Pentium version 3.0, the bus is Core i7 version is PCIe Gen 3.0/4.Pentium version is GEN 3 for 0.0, the transfer protocol is i7 NVME 1.3/1.1 for 4.3.

So, the processing performance is generally as the price, and the Core i7 version is almost twice the performance of the Pentium version.

Finally, here are some good points and bad points of this unit that I felt for a while.

First of all, that size.This is as expected, and it is two times more compact than a general mobile laptop computer for 11-13 inches to carry.You can put it in a pouch rather than a PC case.

In addition, the ease of hitting the keyboard is wonderful.Just like GPD Win Max, you can touch typing without any problems if you get used to Win Max.

The third is the processing performance.I was worried about how much the Pentium N6000 was, but browsing, emailing, writing is very comfortable.Windows Update doesn't feel frustrated like Atom or Celeron.

The first thing that was not good is the wobble of the body.The height of the rubber leg is not matched, and my individual rattles on the right side.

Such a drawback was to some extent because it was a crafted version.However, if you can not stand it, we will cut the rubber leg to respond.

Another is the sensitivity of the touchpad.

The size of the touchpad is comfortable for this size, but sometimes the sensitivity is poor.It is not a delay that the processing performance is not catching up, it is a delay that the sensor is not responding well.

I don't have any trouble in the current situation because I sometimes, but it's anxious.

This is the review of the GPD Pocket 3 Pentium version!

I wrote a lot, but the satisfaction is very high.UMPC has evolved so far.

So, if you are interested, please check it out!
