What Buyers Say
GPD Pocket RM-Pocket-4 Black 2025
80 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The GPD Pocket 4 impresses with its raw power, compact size, and thoughtful modularity, earning high marks from power users and tech enthusiasts. However, consistent complaints about a touchscreen bug after sleep, charging demands above 65W, and a notoriously loud fan hold it back. Overall, it's a niche beast that shines for those willing to work around its quirks.
Pros
- Extreme raw performance for size
- Great for technicians and gamers
- Backwards-compatible modular bay
- Deep power customization options
- High-quality matte display with built-in protector
Cons
- Touchscreen bug after sleep requiring technical workaround
- High charging demands (65W+)
- Extremely loud fan under load
- Short battery life (30min-2hrs heavy use)
- Stability issues when hot
