Owning the Celeron Version of the Pocket 2 I have to say your video is a bit misleading. The gaming performance is quite good due to the dual channel RAM. Playing Oblivion in medium to high settings while maintaining 30fps most of the time. SSD speed is really good as well. I think price-performance-ratio is very good with the amber black model.
Great video. Thinking of getting one of these. One question which wasn't highlighted, what is the screen resolution and is windows desktop as easy to see as on a large mobile phone? Thanks
Not interested in gaming and torn between the celeron and the m3-7Y30, confusing as m3-7Y30 model I'm looking at now claims 8GB ram. Would the Celeron give longer battery life? EDIT: presumably not as it draws more power?
Hey there, so as far as power draw, you're probably going to be looking at relatively the same between the 7y30 and Celeron models. If battery life is a major concern for you, you could always underclock which I (kind of) explain in the video. If I wasn't planning to play games, personally it would be a close call but I think the Celeron model might be the best pick solely because the drive speed and size.
Both the Celeron and the m3-7y30 in the GPD Pocket 2 has a set TDP of 4.5w, so battery life would not differ much. However, the turbo boost will really improve performance. Even if you weren't gaming, it'll still help with productivity tasks like processing a lot of data in Excel, or doing conference calls in Zoom where someone is screen sharing (it taxes the CPU of my GPD Pocket 1 to a point that I always need to reboot, sometimes mid-call. But my m3-6y30 Intel CS325 and GPD Win 2 can handle those tasks just fine). Only purchase the Celeron model if you are after media consumption, light web browsing, etc. But if you can afford it, always go for the m3. As to between the 7y30 or 8100, if there's a big difference in price, go for the 7y30. The Pocket 2 can't take advantage of the additional turbo boost frequency of the 8100y anyway.
You know that the celeron is not much worse than M3 CPUs only without HT and is stuck at 1.5ghz instead of 900mhz that boost to 2.2ghz (one core). So for some apps that use 2 cores the performance is not that much different. But games that need 4 cores or more can be affected by this but those don't run that well anyway of these machines.

@@trevor99z Thanks, and thanks for the video!

Whats that one button with chinese wording on the keyboard?
By default it will be the ~/` key
Celeron was the second version.

9:16 you said 7y30 instead of 8100y
You're totally right that's my bad
Great video
