GPD has revealed the MicroPC 2, six years after introducing its original model. Packing over twice as much performance and a 1-inch larger display, the GPD MicroPC 2 is still over 30% lighter than the GPD Pocket 4 with which it shares many design characteristics.

GPD has returned to another of its older products after refreshing the Pocket 3 in April (curr. $695.95 on Amazon). This time, the company has introduced a second-generation MicroPC, six years after it unveiled its original powered by an Intel Celeron N4100 processor.

In an unsurprising turn, GPD has included a significantly more powerful chipset this around. Specifically, the MicroPC 2 finds itself with a Processor N250 from Intel's Twin Lake family. Essentially a rebadged Alder Lake-N processor, the Processor N250 features four Gracemont E-cores clocked at 3.8 GHz without Hyper-Threading support.

According to our benchmarks, the 10 nm and 6 W chipset should be over twice as powerful as the Celeron N4100 that underpins the original MicroPC. Not only that, but the MicroPC 2 features 16 GB of LPDDR5-4800 RAM coupled with PCIe Gen 3 M.2 2280 storage. Although GPD has not yet revealed the device's battery capacity, it has confirmed that the MicroPC will feature a 7-inch display for its second-generation model, up from 6 inches.

As a result, the MicroPC 2 will weigh over 10% more than its predecessor. Nonetheless, the device will be about 36% lighter than the Pocket 4. Apparently, GPD will begin internal MicroPC 2 testing this week, which means that the device's release is a way off for now. To that end, the company has not disclosed availability or pricing yet.
