GPD Duo
Dual-screen convertible with integrated gamepad controls · Active — relevant through 2026 as an OCuLink eGPU gaming-adjacent device
The Duo is GPD's dual-screen convertible laptop, not a traditional handheld — but its integrated gamepad controls, OCuLink port and up-to-HX 370 silicon make it relevant to the eGPU-gaming crowd, and GPD explicitly positions it as a portable display/dock for its own Win-series handhelds. Reviewers agree it's a niche pick for anyone shopping specifically for a gaming handheld.
Pros
- Dual 13.3" AMOLED "Aurora" screens with 100% DCI-P3 and stylus support
- OCuLink plus USB4 for serious eGPU flexibility
- Doubles as a portable secondary display/dock for GPD's own handhelds
Cons
- Not a true handheld — 2.2 kg convertible laptop shape
- OCuLink + G1 eGPU pairing has documented boot-freeze issues
- Reviewers explicitly flag it as the wrong pick for buyers wanting a dedicated gaming handheld

Recorded conflicts
- gaming classification: GPD markets the Duo as gaming-adjacent via its OCuLink port and secondary screen (usable as a portable display for other handhelds), but reviewers note it is not primarily a gaming handheld — one YouTube reviewer said "I don't think it falls into the category if you just wanted a handheld gaming PC." Included here as an OCuLink eGPU-relevant device, not a mainstream pick.
