GamePad Digital (GPD), officially known as Shenzhen GPD Technology Co., Ltd., is a Chinese technology company that develops mainly miniature electronics[1] that has been described as palmtop/handheld PCs, ultra-mobile PCs, and gaming-focused portables, often via crowdfunding.
History and products[edit]
Their first major product was the GPD XD, a handheld game console running Android, designed for running older video games. It was released in late 2015.[2][3] An upgraded version called GPD XD Plus was released in 2018.[4]
GamePad Digital introduced the GPD Win in late 2016, a palmtop computer with gaming controls like a handheld game console, running Windows 10.[5] Numerous successors have been developed by the company like GPD Win 2 and GPD Win Max. In 2024, CNET named the GPD Win 4 as one of the "best handheld gaming PCs".[6]
In 2017, the company launched GPD Pocket running on Windows 10 or Ubuntu, a palmtop computer and one which Forbes called the "world's smallest laptop" due to its pocketable size.[7][8][9] It was followed up by a second generation GPD Pocket 2, in 2018.[10] A third generation was released by 2021. The GPD Pocket 3 increases the display size to 8-inches.[11][12]
In December 2018, the company introduced the GPD MicroPC.[13] In June 2019, crowdfunding launched for GPD P2 Max, the "world's smallest Ultrabook".[14] A second generation was released in 2022.[15]
In 2024 the company also introduced its first standard sized notebook computer, GPD Duo, with two displays.[16]
