GPD Micro PC 2 GPD 2025, Intel N300, 16GB, 512GB SSD, Black

The GPD MicroPC 2 is a 490g pocketable Windows 11 Pro machine with a 98th percentile compact score and a port selection that puts most full-size laptops to shame. But the Intel N300 CPU lands at the 18th percentile and reliability sits at the 4th percentile, so this is a niche tool for field work and industrial use, not a general-purpose laptop. At EUR 873 to EUR 1,123, you're paying for the form factor and connectivity, not performance.

The Intel Processor N300 is a 4-core, 4-thread chip with a max turbo of 3.8 GHz and a TDP range of 6W to 15W. In our database, that lands at the 18th percentile for CPU performance, which is rough. It's fine for light productivity, terminal work, and web browsing, but don't expect to run anything demanding. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 32 EUs at 1.25 GHz sits at the 36th percentile, so even light gaming is basically off the table. The gaming score of 12.1 out of 100 confirms that. This is not a machine for fun, it's a machine for work.

Where the MicroPC 2 does shine is in the details. The 16GB of LPDDR5 at 4800 MT/s is solid, landing at the 56th percentile. The 512GB NVMe SSD is rated for up to 3.94 GB/s, which is genuinely fast for a device this size. The display is a 7-inch LTPS panel with 314 PPI, 500 nits, and 97% DCI-P3 coverage. That's a 62nd percentile screen score, which is impressive for a device this tiny. The port situation is the real standout: 2.5Gbps Ethernet, HDMI 2.1, and support for three 4K external displays means this little box can anchor a serious workstation setup.

Stacked against the competition, the MicroPC 2 is playing a completely different game. The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro and Lenovo Legion 5i will absolutely crush it in CPU and GPU performance, but they're also several times the size and weight. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is the closest conceptual competitor, a compact 2-in-1 with real gaming chops, but it's still much larger and pricier. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition offers better build quality and battery life, but lacks the industrial port selection and pocketability. If you need a tiny machine with Ethernet, multiple USB ports, and triple display output, none of these mainstream options come close. If you need performance, all of them beat the MicroPC 2 handily.

Pricing is a bit of a mess across vendors. In EUR, you're looking at a range from EUR 873 to EUR 1,123 depending on where you shop. That's a EUR 250 spread, which is significant. The DE and ES listings are where you'll find the lower end of that range, so if you're in Europe, shop around before committing. At EUR 873, this is a reasonable price for a niche industrial tool with this port selection and build quality. At EUR 1,123, it's a harder sell, especially when you factor in the weak CPU performance and the 4th percentile reliability score. You're paying for the form factor and connectivity, not raw power.

The GPD MicroPC 2 lands in our database with a compact score of 61.9 out of 100, which puts it in the 98th percentile for portability. That's the headline here. This thing is 171.2 x 110.8 x 23.5mm and weighs 490g, so it's genuinely pocketable in a way most laptops can only dream about. But that size comes with serious trade-offs, and the numbers tell the story. The CPU sits at the 18th percentile, the GPU at the 36th, and reliability is down at the 4th percentile. This is a niche tool, not a daily driver for most people.

What you're getting is a 7-inch 1080P display with 500 nits brightness and 97% DCI-P3 coverage, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 4800 MT/s, and a 512GB NVMe SSD that can hit 3.94 GB/s. The port selection is honestly ridiculous for something this size: 2x USB-C, 2x USB-A, HDMI 2.1, 2.5Gbps Ethernet, and a microSD slot. It runs Windows 11 Pro and supports three 4K external displays simultaneously. For field technicians, network engineers, or anyone who needs a tiny machine with real connectivity, this is a compelling package. For everyone else, keep reading.

If you need raw performance, look elsewhere. The CPU at the 18th percentile and GPU at the 36th percentile mean this thing will choke on anything beyond light productivity. Gamers should absolutely skip it, the 12.1 out of 100 gaming score is one of the worst we've seen for that use case. Students and business users should also think twice, with scores of 44 and 41.2 respectively. And if reliability is a top priority, the 4th percentile score combined with reports of a flimsy power button should give you serious pause. This is a tool for a specific job, not a general-purpose machine.

The GPD MicroPC 2 is a specialist's tool. The 98th percentile compact score and the port selection are the reasons to buy. The 18th percentile CPU and 4th percentile reliability are the reasons to hesitate. If you're a field technician, network engineer, or someone who needs a pocketable Windows machine with real connectivity, this is one of the best options on the market right now. If you're a student or business user looking for a general-purpose laptop, the scores tell the story: 44 out of 100 for students, 41.2 for business. There are better options for those use cases at this price point.
