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]
