After a lengthy and slightly worrisome stint at the sorting office in Heathrow, my GPD XD+ finally arrived earlier this week. I haven’t really had time to get to know it yet, but I have had a good look at the hardware and tested a few bits and pieces from the Play Store.

GPD did say it’d be available in the new year, but I wasn’t expecting it to arrive as quickly as this. The GPD XD+ can now be ordered at Fasttech for $198 shipped. I’ve decided I’m going to get one this time around, though I may wait until I can find a decent discount code. […]

GPD Smashes Targets Again With Their Metal Body UMPC
GPD’s new Indiegogo campaign has been open only a few hours and they’ve almost reached their $200k target already.

GPD Are Back With Something A Little Different, The GPD WIN // UPDATE: Target Smashed!
It started in December 2015 as a bit of back and forth between GPD staff and the community of the Dingoonity boards – talk of the possibility in them building a Windows 10 handheld.
