GPD Duo specs revealed with AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, up to 96 GB RAM, 80 Wh battery and OCuLink eGPU port
GPD has now shared full specifications for the Duo, a dual-screen laptop that it began teasing at the end of last month. To recap, the company showcased the GPD Duo's design and a few other details roughly a week ago. While GPD continues to drip feed information on X (formerly Twitter), it has provided a complete device rundown on WeChat. In summary, the GPD Duo will run on the following hardware:
- AMD Ryzen 7 8840U APU
- LPDDR5X RAM clocked at 7,500 MT/s
- PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD
- 80 Wh battery
Additionally, GPD reports that the Ryzen 7 8840U will run at 35 W by default with the option of increasing its TDP to 60 W on demand. Moreover, GPD appears to be planning at least four memory configurations ranging from 16 GB to 96 GB of RAM and 512 GB to 8 TB of storage. Incidentally, the latter is possible thanks to a pair of M.2 2280 slots; the Duo has soldered RAM, though.
Furthermore, GPD has clarified that the Duo's primary OLED display outputs at 2,880 x 1,800 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio with a 60 Hz refresh rate and 500 nits peak brightness. On top of that, the Duo has a plethora of ports across its rear, left and right-hand sides, including an RJ45 port, an SD card reader and a full-sized HDMI 1.4a port. Also, GPD has equipped the device with an OCuLink port for connecting external eGPUs like the GPD G1 and ONEXPLAYER ONEXGPU, all within a 209.65 x 297 mm housing.
Unsurprisingly, the GPD Duo is targeting the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED and the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (curr. $1,800 - used on Amazon). However, the inclusion of OCuLink and a video input put the GPD Duo in contention with the MINISFORUM V3, as does a Ryzen 7 8840U APU and its Radeon 780M iGPU. Although pricing and availability remain unknown for now, we imagine that GPD will not wait long before confirming both.
