The GPD MicroPC 2, now available with a limited discount on Amazon Japan, combines a lightweight design with extensive connectivity and a high-resolution touchscreen, targeting mobile professionals and technicians seeking a compact yet versatile Windows device.
GPD’s MicroPC 2 is being sold on Amazon in Japan with a limited discount, bringing the price down to 120,700 yen from 128,000 yen, according to the listing cited by ASCII.jp. The appeal of the device is not raw performance alone, but the way it compresses a usable Windows PC into a body weighing 490g. It keeps a physical keyboard, a precise touchpad and even a three-button mouse layout on the chassis, which makes it easier to use without immediately reaching for an external accessory.
That design is aimed at users who value direct input and a broad set of built-in controls. The keyboard is backlit and arranged for two-handed typing, while the power button includes a fingerprint sensor. The machine also supports 10-point touch input, so it can switch between keyboard-driven work and tablet-style operation when needed. Notebookcheck notes that the MicroPC 2 is also offered globally through crowdfunding, where launch pricing for the 512GB model was listed at $495.
Connectivity is another central part of the pitch. The MicroPC 2 includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a 2.5G Ethernet port, HDMI 2.1, a microSDXC UHS-I slot and a combined microphone and headphone jack. Wireless support covers Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. For a device of this size, that set of ports is unusually complete, which helps explain why GPD continues to position the model as a field tool for technicians, network engineers and other mobile users rather than as a general consumer ultraportable.
The display specification is similarly ambitious for such a compact machine. The 7-inch panel has a 1,920 by 1,080 resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate and a claimed peak brightness of 500 nits, along with anti-reflective and anti-smudge coatings and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Related coverage shows that the model is being marketed in more than one configuration, with the Intel N250 version and a higher-spec Core i3-N300 variant appearing in different retail listings and pre-order pages. In practice, that suggests the MicroPC 2 is being sold as a niche productivity device whose value lies in its dense hardware package, not in mainstream laptop styling.
