    GPD Pocket 4 Launching Soon: 144Hz Display, Ryzen AI 9, 64GB RAM

    It looks like GPD is just about set to launch the Pocket 4, which will take the place of the Pocket 3 (currently priced at $679.95 on Amazon). The Pocket 3 has been around for more than three years now, so it’s no surprise that the new model will have some improved features.

    Powerful Upgrades

    According to the latest updates from the company, the upcoming Pocket 4 will be equipped with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 from AMD’s latest Strix Point line. This means the Pocket 4 will benefit from a robust Radeon 890M integrated graphics processor, which will support a stunning 2,560 x 1,600-pixel resolution on a 144 Hz IPS display measuring just 8.8 inches.

    Additional Options

    Interestingly, GPD is also planning to provide the Pocket 4 with the older Ryzen 7 8840U APU. This choice seems to be a strategy to keep the initial price of the Pocket 4 more affordable. Even with the Ryzen 7 8840U, users can expect much better performance compared to the Intel Pentium Silver N6000, Pentium Gold 7505, or Core i7-1195G7 that were options for the Pocket 3.

    Memory and Launch Plans

    Moreover, GPD intends to offer the Pocket 4 with a maximum of 64 GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 7,500 MT/s. However, the company notes that the availability of the 64 GB RAM models might be limited to its upcoming Indiegogo campaign and may not make it to the final retail version. While no specific launch date for the crowdfunding initiative has been shared, we believe it might happen before the year wraps up.

  • MINISFORUM Announces Unexpected Pricing for EliteMini AI370 Mini-PC

    MINISFORUM Announces Unexpected Pricing for EliteMini AI370 Mini-PC

    A few days ago, MINISFORUM shared news about their new product, the EliteMini AI370. While they provided important information regarding the mini-PC, they didn’t specify a launch date or pricing details. Instead, they chose to focus on selling the 129i7 and 790S7 mini-PCs, which we have discussed in another article.

    Release Information

    Recently, MINISFORUM has given us part of the information we need about when the EliteMini AI370 will be available. Sadly, it’s still unclear when customers will be able to purchase this mini-PC powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The starting price for the EliteMini AI370 is expected to be $849, not including any potential launch discounts. To encourage interest, MINISFORUM is offering a $50 discount coupon for those who sign up to get more updates on their website.

    Pricing Details

    With this coupon, you might be able to buy the mini-PC for $799, but you’ll have to complete some steps first. According to VideoCardz, this price marks a significant rise compared to older models like the EliteMini UM780 XTX, which originally sold for $439 as a barebones option. It’s still uncertain whether the $849 price tag includes RAM and storage. However, the EliteMini UM780 XTX can be customized to have 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD for less than $650 (currently priced at $647 on Amazon).

    Key Specifications

    Additionally, every unit is equipped with one USB 4 (40 Gbps) port, OCuLink, HDMI 2.1, an SD card slot, along with several USB Type-A ports. At the time of the launch, GPD is offering the Duo with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8840U and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APUs. For context, the latter outperforms the former in benchmarks by about 1.38 times. Currently, the Duo is priced as follows:

    Crowdfunding Details

    It’s important to highlight that the crowdfunding campaign for the Duo will continue until November 22, and GPD will not distribute any units to customers before that date. Therefore, the estimated shipping period of November 2024 may actually mean the last week of that month at the soonest. Unfortunately, GPD has not provided any further details on this matter.

    The ROG Magic 16 Air comes with a 2.5K resolution display that boasts a 240Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness, which is consistent with other models in the ROG laptop series. The OLED panel of the display is a contributing factor to the higher price point.
