GPD P2 Max is the world's smallest Ultrabook

The world aspires to compactness and personal electronics, especially when you have to travel and spend hours on end traveling with a full laptop too inconveniently. It is bulky, heavy, takes up too much space in the luggage. Often we need a physical keyboard because the tablet sensor is not enough. Today we head to Shenzhen (China), where GPD HK introduced the world's smallest Ultrabook - GPD P2 Max, with a screen diagonal of just 8.9 inches, weighing 650g, an eighth-generation Intel processor, a fingerprint scanner, QWERTY- keyboard, touch screen, combined cooling system and up to 8 hours autonomy.

Features of the novelty

Many people often have to move from place to place - business trips, meetings with international partners, training, and business trips. All this puts a mark on life - when you are constantly on the move, you want to provide yourself with maximum comfort and always stay in touch. For this purpose, various gadgets were devised - smartphones, tablets and small laptops. If the former help you stay in touch, check your mail, and keep business conversations, the latter help you work with documents, spreadsheets, graphics programs directly at the airport, hotel, or on board the plane.

Previously, we talked about the previous creation of GPD HK - a powerful, portable 6 "GPD Win 2 gaming console, a seventh-generation Intel Kaby Lake Core m3-7Y30 processor, an Intel HD Graphics 615 GPU, 128-bit bandwidth, 8GB permanent, 128GB expandable, 1MB physical QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, multiple connectors, and supporting over 1,000,000 different games - both online and offline (you can read more about it at the link).

Today's novelty will appeal to anyone who lacked compactness on the trip. The manufacturer has offered its vision of an Ultrabook - it should not have a diagonal of more than 10 inches and weight - more than 700 g. However, its basic parameters should in no way be inferior to larger models. Looks like they got it. The GPD P2 Max screen supports 10-point touch control and stylus input. Its diagonal was 8.9 inches, resolution - 2560 * 1600 (WQXGA), point density - 340 ppi, aspect ratio - 16:10, viewing angles - 178 °. It is essentially a tablet with an integrated keyboard. The material used to make the novelty was magnesium alloy.

The device has received a new dual-core Intel Core m3-8100Y 8th generation with a maximum clock speed of 3.4 GHz. The GPU for the new products is the same as the game console - Intel HD Graphics 615. The amount of RAM varies depending on the model chosen and can range from eight to sixteen GB. Built-in memory uses SSD type, its capacity also differs in higher and lower variations - 256 GB or 512 GB. In this case, it is unlocked using a fingerprint scanner. Wireless is represented by Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 4.2. The novelty is equipped with a sufficient number of connectors for connecting external devices: USB Type A (two pcs.), USB Type C (one pc.), HDMI (one pc.), Microphone and mini-jack 3.5 mm for headphone.

As with any laptop, it has a touchpad. It also has a physical on / off button, a built-in video camera for making video calls and communicating on social networks. Brightness, contrast and volume control are controlled by using the keyboard shortcuts on the QWERTY keyboard. Like the game console, active cooling technology is used here. It uses not only several fans but also a liquid cooling tube. The original built-in camcorder has an image resolution of 1600 * 1200 pixels, while the matrix resolution is 2MP. With these parameters, the manufacturer promises a very clear detail of the picture.

The manufacturer also declares high data rates thanks to its 2.4 / 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi chip. With a maximum transfer speed of 867 Mbps, downloading a 1GB movie takes only 10 seconds. The novelty has dimensions - 14.95 * 21.3 * 1.42 cm (width * length * height folded). Its weight was only 650 g. Ultrabook has a very powerful built-in lithium-polymer battery, whose capacity was 9200 mAh. Its power is 35 W / h and its energy density is 600 W / h / l. This means you can watch 1080p videos continuously for up to 8 hours. As for such dimensions of the device - the autonomy is simply stunning.

The novelty also received a standard fast charge with a 30W power adapter. In addition to the standard power supply, the Ultrabook can be recharged from a regular external mobile battery. The main thing is that its capacity is sufficient for full charge. The device is based on Windows 10 Home 64 Bit. The manufacturer recommends it for travel, design, office work with graphic or text documents, reading e-books, communicating with friends through social networks, monitoring stock market trends, watching 4K movies, listening to music.
