– GPD Box mini-PC launches on same date, starting at $1,452 with Core Ultra 7 356H, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage.
– GPD Box also available with Core Ultra X7 358H, but this variant lacks MCIO support.

Around six weeks have passed since GPD unveiled its G2 eGPU dock. At the same time, it announced the GPD Box, which it advertised as the first mini-PC leveraging USB4 V2.0 connectivity. Also, both devices contain MCIO 8i, a port that promises to surpass the bandwidth provided by OCuLink eGPU docks like the Minisforum DEG1 (curr. $109 on Amazon).
Launch details and crowdfunding campaign
While GPD shared multiple details about the GPD Box and GPD G2, it decided against confirming when or how they would launch. Now, the company has rectified that by revealing that the pair will reach Indiegogo on June 15 at 02:00 UTC. Not only that, but it has outlined launch pricing, too.
Pricing and specifications for both models
On the one hand, the GPD G2 will land on Indiegogo for $385, a 20% saving on its $459 MSRP. On the other hand, the GPD Box will start for $1,452 with a Core Ultra 7 356H processor, 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Alternatively, the mini-PC will be available with the Core Ultra X7 358H.
