What exactly are you crying about? This means that retards are $500 poorer.

Why would people even buy this? Both the screen and keyboard are too small for doing anything productive. Also, what's up with the crazy keyboard layout? Who exactly is their target audience here?

This was with a YouTube video playing a two more tabs loading a new webpage every 5 seconds.
Who watched YouTube videos and loads a new webpage every 2.5 seconds?
He did another test where it was a YouTube video and one page loading a new page every 5 seconds and he got 6 hours.
I can only imagine real world usage where you spend a couple of minutes average on a page would easily net you 8 hours plus.

This is what I use for my VNC and SSH client and maybe watching some videos and light scripting.

tl;dr retards who don't know what to do with the hardware acting like retards

>>60097766

Could be, but the chinks said 12 hours.

They can suck my cock

>>60097868
Doesn't every manufacturer lie about their battery life?
They all do their tests with the screen on lowest brightness and nothing running.

what if it was just the keyboard, no display

slightly larger but you make the kb foldable so in the end it's more compact

you'd have an hdmi port to hook up to any display, or cast the picture on a smart display or a phone. there's displays everywhere, it's the kb that is the hook

maybe a small rotatable projector attached to it for when everything else fails

>>60098074
Except the keyboard is the worst part about it and the entire appeal is being able to keep a computer on you at all times and being able to whip it out while on a subway or plane or coffee shop where displays aren't available.

>>60094920
>they said the battery lasts 12 hours but it's only 4 hours
The article says 6 hours
>shitty performance
It's pretty good for the size

Who gave you money to shill?

>>60097788
t. Retard that got scammed

I don't understand the supposed benefit of the GPD Pocket over carrying a nice fat Android like a Nexus 6P and a keyboard. The money spend developing the GPD could have been used to develop a slick, brushed aluminum battery pack keyboard that fit on an existing smartphone.

The kickstarter page was full of spelling/grammar errors. All the pictures are shitty renders. There's no official website of any kind. The only listing the thing has is on Gearbest.

I don't know how anyone could support this.

Is it a modern laptop that fits in your pocket? Yes. Does the release version support a 12 hour battery life? We don't know. The reviewer had a beta model, and did his own windows install.

So where's the lie you're talking about?

Fuck this device, fuck GPD

I hope they go bankrupt. All their products are flimsy, unreliable and shit in general

>>60103769
Graphics driver is a blob which is disappointing.
The LTE baseband is isolated from the device memory though so that's a plus.

The chinks were demonstrating the "capabilities" of the device by running CS 1.6, a game that is literally 16 years old.

They knew nothing else runs with fluid FPS

Whoever bought this shit deserves the shitty product they will receive

You didn't really read much, did you. Install a vanilla windows or Linux on any "long battery life" laptop, without tweaking and hunting down vendor firmware and special drivers, and you get shit battery performance. Goes for everything, including the Macbook Air. Hell, without a huge amount of tweaking, my air at work got roughly half the battery life under Ubuntu as it did in OSX. With tweaking, it barely got 70% of what it did under OSX.

>>60094920
>they said the battery lasts 12 hours
No
>shitty performance
Where's the lie? It has the exact same specs as the GPD Win but with more RAM. They did not make any specific claims to my knowledge.

>>60103115
>pic related is the macbook air mentioned on their indiegogo page that's supposed to have the same battery life.
Holy shit, you're retarded. The 4 hour figure was under heavy load, if you actually compare the two, the GPD Pocket is going to win.

Id pay a hefty premium for something this size that actually lives up to the hype. Or even a sony p series refresh.

Its the perfect backpacking/hiking form factor.

That's basically what this is, especially if you install linux, aside from expecting it to use AAs obviously

Why? Why did they do this?

>>60117171
12 hours isn't really long enough and the low-power component is a pretty significant part of the appeal, I want something tiny, lightweight and durable as shit that I'll never need an AC adapter for as long as there's a dollar store within reach that I can pick up right out of the drawer in 25 years and use immediately if I so please, or even charge/run off of solar power
>>60117256
wish I could tell you, currently I run a 95LX, the 320 seems really appealing though since it has pocket office on top of the usual PIM shit

>>60117293
because they like it and it brings them happiness, why do so many people on /g/ pay thousands of dollars for a big power sucking piece of shit desktop just to play time-wasting video games?

>>60117315

You answered your own question there. Gaming is a common and mainstream thing. Paying $600 for a netbook isn't. They didn't even execute the trackpoint properly and they deliberately made it look like a small MacBook. They wasted space by giving it a dumb hinge placement, the type that goes around back and under instead of top mounting hinges, moving the display assembly down and being able to have enough space to keep the same aspect ratio but also have a webcam. It doesn't need to be as bulky as it is at all. I'd expect that price tag of something that had to have heavy R&D or high manufacture costs, this likely has neither.

This is something made by some chinks in a shed.

>>60117296
Well I bought it for cheap a week ago and I'm planning to use it as a serial console. So far I've managed to communicate with it over serial with handheld explorer but I can't change the baud rate from 19200 for some reason. How's the 95lx?

>>60117404
>Gaming is a common and mainstream thing.
so are things like gambling, alcohol abuse and smoking but doesn't make them any less wasteful and socially unacceptable when viewed through a rational lens

don't really like the pocket, by the way, my point is that it's just funny when people ask such questions on a board that basically exists to celebrate sheepish, wasteful consumerism (it's okay when the rest of the flock is also doing it, I guess)

people will buy what they like, and if they don't, shit happens, $600 is nothing in 2017 unless you're some piece of shit high school dropout, and there are lots of people out there that would probably call your interests and hobbies a bunch of frivolous plebeian garbage as well

>>60117488
the 95LX is pretty cool since it's mostly PC-compatible but the built-in editor sucks shit, some day I'll get around to buying a serial cable to put some better software on it
