It outperforms Microsoft’s new Surface Pro in some extreme performance tests,” the company said on Indiegogo page.

If you still yearn for a pocketable computing Windows 10 device, the GPD Pocket 2 could be just the thing to satisfy. On the Indiegogo page, GPD is comparing the Pocket 2 device with Apple’s MacBook and Microsoft’s Surface Pro (m3).

The crowdfunding price of the GPD Pocket 2 could be around $569-$639 and the expected retail price is $729-$789.

The concept of GPD Pocket is indeed good but the regular consumers most likely won’t have a need for a device like this. It could be useful for some businesses and smartphone users as it’s one of the best ultra-mobile productivity devices.
