Shenzen-based GPD has successfully funded their latest effort to make the Pocket 2 Ultra-mobile PC. After just several minutes of launch, they have raised the $100,000 fixed goal. After several more hours, it now stands at 892% fully funded by 1495 backers. That is mighty impressive considering there is still a month left for their IndieGogo campaign. GPD is of course, highly successful following their GPD Pocket, and GPD Win campaigns. Like those projects, the new Pocket 2 is a sleek and highly portable PC that appeals to users on-the-go.
It looks like a MacBook with a magnesium alloy unibody design but runs Windows 10. Also, it is highly portable having a 7-inch Corning Gorilla Glass H-IPS display. It has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and has a 323 pixels-per-inch density.
Inside, it is powered by an Intel Core m3-7y30 CPU. This is a dual-core, quad-threaded processor that runs at 1.0GHz with a 2.6GHz Turbo frequency. Backers can opt for a 4GB or 8GB LPDDR3 RAM model. Meanwhile, built-in storage comes in the form of 128GB ROM, with microSD card slot expansion.
As with most laptops, it comes with built-in 802.11ac Wireless and Bluetooth 4.1 support.
It also one-ups the Surface Pro m3 by providing not just one USB type-A port, but two, despite being nearly half the size. In fact, the entire unit measures just 181 x 113 x 14mm and weighs 465 grams. Also, it has a USB Type-C port.
The Indiegogo campaign is still going and will wrap up at the end of the August. Backers can opt for the 4GB variant for just $529, while the 8GB option is $599. Those interested have to hurry since at the time of writing this, 1476 out of 1800 8GB models have now been claimed.
After the campaign, these pre-order prices jump to $769 and $839 USD respectively.
