GPD’s double-folding convertible laptop comes with AMD’s fastest mobile CPU, can display more pixels than a 4K monitor and comes with an OCuLink connector
GPD, best known for compact gaming devices, is launching its first full-fledged laptop, the Duo Dual-Screen. First teased in May 2024, we knew the device would have two foldable 13.3-inch AMOLED Aurora displays with 10-bit color depth and 1.07 billion colors with touch and stylus input, but other details were uncertain at the time.
Now the company has revealed more about the “Engineer’s 13.3-inch Productivity Laptop.” The GPD DUO Dual-Screen is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (a step up from the expected AMD Ryzen 7 8840U), with integrated Radeon 890M graphics, 64 GB LPDDR5x 7500MT/s RAM and a 4TB 2280 SSD (expandable up to 16TB – 8TBx2 in the two M.2 NVMe slots).
It is powered by an 80Wh battery with 30.2 hours of battery life and 100W PD fast charging. In terms of ports, it has HDMI 2.1, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1, USB 4, Type-C (fully featured), Type-C (DP Alt), RJ45 port, SD card slot and an OCuLink port for direct PCIe connection with an effective bandwidth of 63Gbps. This allows you to connect an external GPU. It supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
Foldable screens
The screens fold up. As GPD says: “AMOLED 2 folds under AMOLED 1. After opening the screen, AMOLED 1 can reach a maximum opening angle of 135°, while AMOLED 2 can rotate 360° towards the back of AMOLED 1.” They have a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a WQXGA+ (2560×1600) resolution and 10-point touch. The AMOLED 2 can rotate 360 degrees, turning the laptop into a tablet.
GPD says you can expand the device with two additional screens and provides a spectacular mock-up of what that could look like, which you can see at the top of the page.
You can connect your smartphone with AMOLED 2 and mirror the screen there. It also comes with two built-in AAC stereo speakers and a 2.5K HD ultra-wide webcam.
In terms of size, the folded size is slightly smaller than A4 – 297mm x 209.65mm – with a thickness of 24mm.
Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet, but there is one Order now button at the top of the GPD site, which will hopefully do something when clicked soon.
