Review on 💻 GPD Pocket 2: Intel m3-8100Y CPU Update | 7" Touch Screen Windows 10 Mini Laptop UMPC Tablet PC by Michael Welborn

If the battery level falls below 15%, the device will not turn on until it is charged to 15%, which takes about an hour. So if you leave it in sleep mode for a few hours and come back, you'll have to plug it in and wait a full hour before you can use it. And the battery drains while you use your computer with the charger attached. Therefore, after a few minutes of use, the computer turns itself off again. making it completely useless. And if you leave the charger connected while the battery is fully charged, the charger will turn off and the battery will discharge. This is a comedy of mistakes. Everyday Use Device: This reduces the device's status to that of a "useless toy". I will return this device. Edit 9/15/17: I found a BIOS update on a third-party file host that allows the device to boot at any battery percentage. You can also solve the problem of battery drain when connected to a charger by replacing the thermal grease on the processor with a well-known brand of thermal grease. Factory paste looks like sawdust mixed with crushed gray plastic. It also solved the CPU throttling issue caused by thermal throttling. Edit 11/15/17: After replacing the thermal paste and updating the BIOS, this little laptop is very usable. Now it's my daily companion and I carry it with me everywhere, replacing my 2013 Macbook Pro. After testing it more extensively after the repair, I'm increasing my rating to 4 stars.
