GPD Unveils Affordable 32 GB RAM Option and Release Date for Groundbreaking AMD Convertible Laptop

GPD’s latest innovation, the Duo, is poised to hit the market in just two weeks. This cutting-edge device, announced earlier this year, promises to push the boundaries of what we consider a laptop, and now we finally have a release date. Initially scheduled for an August release, the company remained tight-lipped about the reasons behind the delay. But the wait is over, as GPD has confirmed that the dual OLED-based Duo will officially launch on October 8.

GPD’s release plan involves rolling out the Duo through Indiegogo, where it will be available starting at 02:00 UTC. However, given the chosen platform, the device is unlikely to ship until late autumn or early winter. Alongside the official release date, GPD has unveiled a new memory configuration for the Duo, providing more versatile options for consumers.

Previously, opting for a 32 GB RAM configuration required pairing it with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. This is no longer the case. Customers can now configure the Duo with a Ryzen 7 8840U, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD for $1,380 on Indiegogo. This new option is only $100 more than the entry-level SKU, making it an enticing upgrade for those seeking more power without a significant price increase.

Here is the complete pricing breakdown:

– AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD: $1,270 early bird ($1,425 MSRP)
– AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD: $1,380 early bird ($1,516 MSRP)
– AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD: $1,650 early bird ($1,790 MSRP)
– AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD: $1,860 early bird ($1,971 MSRP)

With its sleek design and powerful specs, the GPD Duo is set to make a significant splash in the tech world. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or someone looking for a versatile and powerful laptop, the upcoming GPD Duo offers something exciting for everyone. People interested in snagging this innovative device should keep an eye on Indiegogo come October 8.
