GPD’s powerful dual-OLED laptop is now available to order

It’s now easy enough to find a laptop with a spiffy, super-vibrant OLED screen. But two OLED screens at once? That’s the stuff of science fiction — and, well, Lenovo’s weird Yoga Book 9i. But if you’re looking for a more conventional laptop design with a keyboard that just happens to go double-barrel on the screens, then GPD’s Duo is just that. And right now, you can place an order for the GPD Duo on Indiegogo, with a starting price tag of $1,275. (GPD is a Chinese hardware company that’s best known for its handheld gaming gadgets, but it’s been branching out into standard laptops over the last few years.) Related: Are OLED laptops worth the extra price? The Duo is actually GPD’s biggest device yet, with dual 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen panels running at 2880×1800 resolution each. Those screens can fold in on each other to show only one interior display (like a standard laptop), one interior and one exterior (good for presentations, I suppose), or flip up to show both screens at once in a stacked array. (I hope the dual hinge is sturdy, but you can also back it up with a fold-out kickstand in its stacked configuration.) GPD GPD GPD Inside the laptop is a familiar set of full-power specs, including an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage on the base model. The top-end version ($1,867) has a newer Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and an impressive 64GB of RAM and 2TB of... Continue reading at 'PC World'
