GPD DUO Application Scenarios!

Created on:2024-08-09 10:51

 

In the previous section, the DP IN interface of the secondary screen can be connected to a third-party device, which can be regarded as a type of scenario experience. You can regard the secondary screen as a separate portable screen.

This section will talk about other application scenarios. First, let's take a look at a 1:1 effect picture of GPD DUO. 

 

Multi-screen, multi-system, a favorite of developers

 

Developers are not limited to using only two monitors. When the project requires it, it can be multiple screens. In the early days of the PC, those who could afford three screens, like the one in the picture below: 

 

Later, laptops became popular and could drag multiple screens. However, such laptops usually weigh 3~4kg and are not convenient to carry around.

 

 

Now there are more and more platforms, and the development environment is becoming more and more complex. Developers are no longer limited to a certain operating system, because cross-platform development involves testing on multiple operating systems, and also involves cross-platform programming languages. For example, a certain application has both a PC version, an Android version, a Mac version, and a Linux version. It not only involves multiple operating systems, but also involves the compatibility of these applications on different versions of these operating systems.

However, does each operating system, or even each different version of an operating system, require a host? That would be too costly! So the virtual machine system came into being. Virtualization tools can be used in the cloud or locally. Virtual machine systems are all-encompassing, compatible with various system versions, provide dedicated drivers, can be opened multiple times, share physical hardware, and ensure a stable system running environment, which also facilitates testing by developers. But at the same time, it also relies on larger memory, more powerful processors, and graphics cards.

 

 

The combination of GPD DUO + GPD G1 achieves a total computing power of 108 TOPS. Combined with 64GB + 4TB, it ensures that multiple virtual machines can be opened without stuttering, and the system runs smoothly. Each screen corresponds to a virtual machine, just like an independent computer. Multi-screen multi-system has become a developer's dream stage, opening multiple IDEs to easily build cross-platform applications.

The combination of GPD DUO + GPD G1 supports up to 7 displays. 

 

 

Please note:

 

1. Not limited to the above operating systems.

2. The virtual machine mentioned on this page is VMware Workstation Pro v17.5.1. Other similar virtual machines include Oracle VM VirtualBox, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Kernel-based Virtual Machine, with largely similar functions.
3. Running multiple virtual machine systems requires at least 64GB or more of memory. To enhance the smoothness of virtual machine systems under VMware Workstation Pro, select "Exclusive Mode" in full-screen status, allowing shared physical hardware.

5. To use multiple monitors for multiple virtual machines, refer to: vmware Docs

 

4-screen collaboration, a powerful tool for financial investors

 

In the financial field, most professional investors use multiple displays to monitor stock market trends while also paying attention to sector changes and overall market trends. If it is a commodity, you also need to pay attention to overseas market fluctuations. GPD DUO supports up to 4 displays, and 4-screen collaboration is a powerful tool for investors. Real-time stock market conditions, real-time data, and financial news are all clear at a glance, giving you a comprehensive view of the overall situation. Seize every investment opportunity and maximize your returns.

 

 

The secondary screen can be rotated 360 degrees to become a tablet

In tablet mode, you can control any system, an experience you've never had before

 

If you've never experienced a Linux tablet or a MacOS tablet, GPD DUO is for you. The secondary screen can be rotated 360 degrees, instantly transforming into a tablet. Open any system under the virtual machine, full-screen "exclusive mode", share physical hardware, and experience the most powerful tablet in history.

 

 

Mac OS 13.6 tablet mode usage scenarios                        Ubuntu 23.10 tablet mode usage scenarios

 

 

 

Supports 4096-level pressure-sensitive stylus

writing and drawing in tablet mode, unlimited creativity

 

Supports dual-screen handwriting, supports active stylus, based on Microsoft MPP protocol, compatible with Surface Pen stylus, 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, original handwriting, inspiration, reading and recording, creative painting achieves artistic-level precision, annotation, and signing in one step.

 

 

 

 

So far, the introduction of the GPD DUO product is over! Many people ask if it can be equipped with AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 300 series processor. Here is a unified reply: Yes. The maximum turbo frequency power consumption required by the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 300 series processor is 54W. The TDP of GPD DUO can be suppressed to 60W, ensuring that the performance of AI 9 HX 300 is fully released!
