GPD Micro PC


I really like this small palm-sized laptop. The specs are great for the size : 1280x720 6" (not touch) Screen, quad core Intel processor, Intel GPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB M2 SSD Drive. Moreover it have all the ports you can dream for IT/SysAdmin usage : Ethernet, HDMI, USB C, 3xUSB A, and even the good old RS232 serial port ? You also have a microSD slot, Bluetooth and WiFi. The Keyboard is small, but fit great for typing with your thumbs, and have backlight, you also have a pad with 3 buttons. It come with Windows 10 Pro installed, but it’s compatible enough to run Linux (they have an ubuntu ready to install). The case can take some abuse : it’s made of anti-shock aviation level ABS synthetic resin.

Of course I done more than adding some stickers on it. I dismounted it to replace the M2 SSD with a bigger one (512GB), and Installed BlackArch Linux + Windows 10 in dual boot. Installing Linux needed some customization to have the screen oriented in the right side and all the devices working fine ... but at the end all is working great. I found lot of useful informations on this site.

running BlackArch Linux, with my favorite window manager : ratpoison

great for hardware hacking ...
