The modular I/O port design allows a tiny PC like Pocket 3 to adapt well in different use cases (by swapping between different expansion modules). The serial port expansion module of Pocket 3 uses the standard EIA RS-232 communication protocol and can connect to various 9-pin serial devices.
Besides that, the single KVM port control module for Pocket 3 can be used to access and control another computer for system and network device management. It integrates HDMI IN and USB IN ports, so you only need an HDMI cable or HDMI to VGA cable to connect Pocket 3 to the targeted server and fully control the server through the Pocket 3’s own keyboard and mouse.
Unlike “remote desktop”, the KVM control module is used for hardware-level access control covering the entire use process of the targeted server, from booting, BIOS settings to operations within the OS. It is hot-swappable but has no IP KVM, so it does not support remote management and is suitable for managing local network equipment that has no keyboard, mouse and display.
Key features:
- The GPD Pocket 3 is GPDs latest and best UMPC so far.
- It features a screen that can be rotated by 180° and flipped on the backside so you can comfortably use it similar to a tablet.
Thanks to the 4096-level pressure stylus support (Surface Pen (using Microsoft MPP 2.0 protocol), stylus is not included), you can use it to naturally draw or write on it. - The 8″ H-IPS screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 has a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, up to 500nit bightness and supports exclusive ICC color calibration, so it’s also suitable for professional use cases.
- Even though the device is pretty small, it has three USB-A 3.2 Gen2 ports, one HDMI2.0b port, one Thunderbolt 4 port and a 2.5Gbps RJ45 Network port.
- There’s also a slot where you can connect a RS232/KVM module (sold seperately) which is ideal for professional hardware debugging or server administration.
- The fast 1TB PCie Gen 4 M.2-2280 SSD comes preinstalled with Windows 10, however, as the device supports TPM2.0, you can easily upgrade to Windows 11.
- The High-End version uses the latest Tigerlake Intel Core™ i7-1195G7 featuring the lntel Iris Xe Graphics 96eu GPU.
- The widely acclaimed chiclet chocolate style “QWERTY” keyboard, which has won the German Red Dot Award, is optimized for typing with both hands by concentrating the most important keys on the center, making it very comfortable to play keyboard and mouse-controlled games on this device! And it’s backlit!
- Included is also a 1600×1200 webcam, a fingerprint reader and very good speakers.
With WiFi-6E, you can connect with up to 3600Mbps - The GPD Pocket 3 is really a huge step forward compared to the previous UMPCs.
