I wonder, do GPD know about this?

It's been talked about on the GPD Discord Channel. GPD's owenr is a member there also, but he hasn't logged in for the last few days.
Not sure it would concern them, it's similar particularly the KB, but meh. To copy the master and all that is part of the culture I suppose.

Shame when they were remoulding to add on the additional ports, they didn't look at fixing the keyboard layout.
Interestingly, this device charges from MicroUSB rather than the Type-C, judging by that powerbank graphic.
I must admit, I am looking forward to seeing the GPD Pocket 2 if and when they make one. Hopefully they'll include some of these changes (having the inbuilt TF card slot would be nice for me)

Same price as the pocket with a convertible henge and 8350 but otherwise the same specs? They say it will go up $200 in 2 days?
Completely not worth it at that "normal" price and really why the 8350 not 8500/8550? A 7" convertible sounds interesting but I wouldn't pay $500 for it.

I think there trackpoint looks broken, its some sort of touch sensor or something. I wonder if it will work with gloves like the trackpoint on my thinkpad.
This may be a rarely used feature on any normal laptop, but for a handheld type device its quite use full.
I hate it if i have to take of my gloves, to change a song or reply to a message in winter

These are both pretty notable flaws in this device, imo. USB-C is able to accept power at a much faster rate but I suppose with the lower-power processor, it might not be as necessary to quick charge.
The keyboard on the GPD Pocket is so atrocious though. Although I would be curious to see if there is anyone who has used both the Pocket and the Gemini. Both have their compromises. I think the Pocket's are worse but I have never used one.

Still fresh, damnit!
Can I be the first to say that I'm disappointed that all the cars whos tops I can see appear to be either saloon type or estate type cars. Go back and do it again with actual convertibles!
A 2 Amp microUSB port can barely keep up with an Atom processor. Hence the Microsoft Surface 3 had a proprietary microUSB that powers at over 2 Amps, and GPD went USB-C.

Well it looks like GPD are annoyed, they are contemplating legal action

so far they have some renders and photoshopped images ... long, long way to a finished and useable product
someone had one of these btw. : https://www.slashgear.com/umid-mbook-m2-debuts-faster-cpu-499-in-q4-video-2257507/ ? (like almost a decade ago ...)
stumbled onto that one while searching for something completly different ... the idea with an optical mouse and the mousebuttons to the side of the screen is new to me and looks quite interesting

Whoa seriously? I guess since they're no longer an ODM, they're much more seriously about their products now.

Yes, Wade the co-owner of GPD was on the GPD Discord channel last night. I brought up the Mix Yoga. He said they were looking to take legal action. He wasn't happy about it

The Intel spec sheets "Max Memory" is often BS.

I see GearBest is also selling the "One Netbook One Mix" device - though I'm not sure which bit is the company name, and which bit is the device name Did anything follow with the legal threat?

It's really odd to me, because it's not like they're just reusing the moulds for the Pocket, as they've moved the trackpad etc. so why would you have made it look so similar when you were already making changes
