Overview
MicroPC is a handheld mini Laptop developed and designed by GPD company for industry professionals and various mobile scenarios. It only weighs 440g which has many interfaces. It can perfectly replace traditional notebooks for people that work in the communication, electric power, exploration, mining, archaeology, education training, manufacturing, service chain, call center, business services, public institutions, government military and many more fields.
A multi-interface mobile productivity tool
Microsoft Surface Go is so small, lightweight, and affordable that it has been dubbed as the iPad 6 killer. However, 6″ MicroPC is not only smaller than Surface Go but also has more interfaces. The palm-sized MicroPC is only 15mm in the thinnest part, weighs 440g and consumes only 10W for the thermal design, but its performance is as good as Microsoft Surface Go at a lower price. MicroPC is a mobile productivity tool suitable for each and every industry.

GPD Micro PC Details
1. Impact resistant ABS Synthetic Resin Shell
The anti-shock aviation-level ABS synthetic resin LG-DOW 121H is imported from South Korea, with a thick thickness of 1mm, which is flame retardant, high-heat resistant, and V-0 fireproof, with a Rockwell hardness up to 109 R, and bending strength up to 26000kg/cm2. Its integrity rate reaches 97.63% under the 1.5m drop test.
Its streamlined appearance is matt UV-sprayed, with rounded corners for great affinity and comfortable feel.
The area of the strip-shaped hollow air inlet on the back is up to 28%, and the 3mm-high feet makes the bottom air inlet design sleeker.
On the back, the 45 degree-inclined air outlet protects the external interfaces from dust accumulation and dissipates heat more smoothly.
The non-slip twill groove gives a strong grip.
2. 6 Inch HD WCG Screen
Its 6” high definition (HD) wide color gamut (WCG) screen, with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 has a vividly colorful, natural, smooth and visible effect.
With the 178 degree view, users can obtain an excellent visual experience at any angle.
With 1280×720 resolution and 3000: 1 static contrast, it displays dedicate and bright colors.
The rotatable axis supports stepless adjustment for the maximum stretch of 150.
3. Integrated Qwerty Keyboard, Touch pad and 3D mouse
A qwerty keyboard, touchpad, and 3D mouse are integrated into the C face, which is only 15×9cm in size. The metallic film button is wedge-shaped designed, which is more ergonomic and provides an excellent experience for finger pressing.
The qwerty keyboard is backlit to meet the emergency needs at night, or in no light or dim light.
The keyboard layout is more reasonable. You may complete all operations with your left thumb in case of only number inputs.
MicroPC has a built-in touchpad with a larger operable area, while also supporting the left and right buttons of the touchpad. In this way, the cursor is slide more accurately through right thumb.
The upper left corner of the C face is the left, middle, and right mouse buttons, with an appropriate width to assure an unfettered operation.
The power key is recessed to avoid accidental touch. It is extremely convenient to turn on or off the machine by holding it in the left hand.
The fan switch is centered, and the Off and On states are clearly identifiable.
4. Two Cooper Nuts Embedded On The Back
Two copper nuts (suitable for 2.5mm-diameter screws) are embedded on the back for fixing the machine in various complex environments. You can attach it to any rotatable hanger, stand, lift, tray, bracket, etc.

Two copper nuts (suitable for 2.5mm-diameter screws) are embedded on the back for fixing the machine in various complex environments. You can attach it to any rotatable hanger, stand, lift, tray, bracket, etc.
6. RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 serial port is widely used in industrial instrumentation, mouse, keyboard, printer, etc. Or go to RS-485 from RS-232 to achieve the data communication at 1200m and 100Kbps.
7. RJ45 Wired Network Access
MicroPC has built-in Gigabit NIC, and it supports wired network access through RJ45 interface for the maximum download speed of 125MB/s.
8. Wireless 2.4G/5G Dual band Wifi And Bluetooth 4.2
Similarly, in response to Internet of things applications, MicroPC also has a built-in Bluetooth 4.2 module that supports IPv6 connectivity options to make data transfer faster.
9. CPU Inter Celeron N4120
GPD MicroPC use Intel 8th Gemini Laks N4100 Embedded processer, reduced package size.
TDP of CPU raise to 10W, compare with 4415y(Microsoft Surface Go), a few advantage in single-core test but a number of advantage in multi core test.
Description:
CPU Mark Rating: As of 18th of December 2018 – Higher results represent better performance.
CPU Single Thread Rating: As of 18th of December 2018-Higher results represent better performance.
CPU Value (CPU Mark/$Price): As of 18th of December 2018-Higher results represent better value.
The N4120 processor has a reference frequency of 1.10 GHz and a pulse frequency of 2.4 GHz, while 4415Y only supports a reference frequency of 1.6 GHz and no turbo frequency acceleration. In terms of overall performance, N4100 is better than 4415Y.
MicroPC uses 9.5-generation Intel UHD Graphics 600, supports operating frequency up to 700MHz, and increases the bandwidth by 33% over the previous generation. It supports 10-bit 4K VP9 film decoding, while the thermally-designed power consumption is only 10W, which can be called as a low-power decoder, and ideal for home theater personal computer (HTPC) and game console. The output of 4K×2K/60p HD video is available via HDMI 2.0 interface.
10. Active Cooling Design
It applies the PC-level cooling solution with the active cooling design and high-power turbofan. MicroPC demonstrates better overall performance than the passively cooled Microsoft Surface Go.
11. Extensible For More Peripheral
Three USB 3.0 interfaces and one Micro SD slot support up to 4 external storage devices and infinite storage. It is possible to extend more peripherals through the Hub.
12. Support Mobile Power Charging
MicroPC supports PD 2.0-based fast charging, which can fill half the battery in 30 minutes. It also supports all 5V/3A-based mobile phone chargers and portable power source. Therefore, a charger can be shared between the MicroPC and the mobile phone. You can easily find the charging source at the airport or coffee shop (5V/3A charging output standard is available in most places).
13. Built In Windows 10 Pro, Support Ubuntu
The much-maligned Windows 10 Home is abandoned, and instead, MicroPC will have Windows 10 Pro to give users a new experience.
Furthermore, under the strategic cooperation with Ubuntu MATE, MicroPC will support Ubuntu MATE 18.10.
At that time, you may download the Ubuntu MATE 18.10 firmware on the GPD official website and crowdfunding update area. The shipped machine defaults to Windows 10 Pro.
