GPD has been creating portable gaming PCs and miniature mobile PCs for years, but is now turning its attention to full-size laptops. After launching a dual-screen laptop last week, GPD has now published an image of its upcoming GPD Duo – complete with two 13.3-inch OLED displays, an array of ports and stylus support.
While we’ve seen the emergence of new dual-screen laptops over the past year, the GPD Duo appears to be the most practical yet. GPD is stacking the two 13.3-inch OLED panels so you have an extra screen on top. This is similar to Asus’ new Zenbook Duo, but GPD aims to do it without a detachable keyboard and kickstand, so the second screen can be folded behind the main one in what appears to be a normal laptop form factor.
The GPD Duo’s second screen can also be folded into a tablet format with support for pen input. “When folded, the device is the size of an A4 sheet of paper and, when the two screens are fully extended, it measures 18 inches,” says GPD in a statement. post on X. The screens support 10-point touch, 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity for a stylus, and the Microsoft Pen protocol for compatibility with the Surface Pen.
While GPD doesn’t list ports on the Duo, it looks like there will be an Ethernet port on the back, along with an OcuLink port for eGPU connectivity. There are at least two USB ports on the side and what appears to be some kind of card reader on the left side of the laptop. There are several other ports visible in the image, but determining exactly which ports are included is challenging due to their low resolution.
The GPD Duo will have a full-size keyboard and a regular trackpad, which sets it apart from Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i, which comes with a separate Bluetooth keyboard that you place on top of your second monitor.
It’s also unclear which processor will power GPD’s Duo laptop. There’s a vague mention of a 35-watt TDP and that this will be an “AI PC,” but nothing indicates that this could be a new Copilot Plus PC with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon chips. Given that Computex is less than a week away, I expect to hear a lot more about the GPD Duo soon.
