Did you think the ONE-NETBOOK One Mix 2S with its 7-inch was too small? Then wait to check out the latest GPD MicroPC announced today, a 6-inch UMPC (Ultra-mobile PC) powered by an Intel Celeron Gemini Lake CPU.
The GPD MicroPC with its 6-inch display actually isn’t even the more compact device launched by the company, the original GPD Win did indeed come with a smaller 5.5-inch and its design isn’t too different form the MicroPC unveiled today, at least on the outside. The new pocket-friendly PC packs a totally redesigned keyboard layout along with a touchpad in the upper right corner, this then forced GPD to move the number keys to the left and have two rows.
GPD’s PC is powered by an Intel Celeron N4100 CPU, which is a good upgrade over the older GPD Win with its Intel Atom x7-Z8750, we then find 4GB of RAM and a 128GB M.2 2242 SSD, so a really nice memory combo considering its pocket size, still you can expand it via microSD card or replace the M.2 SSD if you need more storage.
A very neat feature on the GPD MicroPC is its On/Off switch for the integrated fan, which means you can turn it on or off depending on your usage scenario. Plus, the MicroPC is also expected to be very durable as it’s been inspired by the Panasonic Toughbook, so you’ll be able to toss it into your backpack without worrying too much.

Can anyone else see a major problem with having the touchpad top right, above all the other keys, or is it just me?
Chris G
Not just you, it looks very out of place and awkward.
Jack
It’s perfect there. The MiroPC is designed for thumb typing. So mouse control – Left thumb on the mouse buttons and right thumb on the touch pad

Fitting a cat5 network port was an interesting choice.. With many laptops not bothering any more!
Kris
I love it. i want it 🙂

so small, too small. could you even type on this a full page? I highly doubt that, but as a mini pc connected to a monitor and external keyboard yes.
Chris G
Full sized HDMI & Ethernet port and gigabit is a nice addition on something so small.
Brad
There is only one key to the right of the “L”. There should be two, the semi-colon key and the quote key. Is one of them missing? I don’t see it. Also I don’t see the two square bracket keys anywhere. They appear to be missing entirely.
How much does this thing weigh?
Pierpaolo
It’s expected to weigh around 440 grams.

Whoa that’s some industrial design, breathtaking, can see GPD has evolved into something truly serious.
But 8GB RAM variant please!
Chris G
Yes we really need an 8GB version.
