GPD WIN MAX 2 φορητός υπολογιστής τυχερών παιχνιδιών

Exactly everything that I wanted. I had the GPD Win 4 and while it is a great device, I found myself carrying around a 10" portable monitor, compact keyboard, mouse, dock, and all its cables and connecting all that up fairly often. I guess I'm not too much of a handheld gamer and more of a productivity person. It was then that I decided that the Max 2 was going to be more suitable for my needs. It is so nice to finally have everything that I was carrying around all in one machine. Having magnetic controller covers is just icing on the cake, especially since they can be stored in the machine itself!

Despite the pictures, the machine is purple. This is easier to see in videos. Think iPhone 14 Pro Deep Purple, but maybe less saturated?

The performance is great and is what I expected. Games like Valorant can get 60fps a good chunk of the time. The screen is very nice since it's slightly taller than 1080p.

Also, don't be alarmed, but the ports are upside down: HDMI, SD Card Reader, USB-A (and honestly, probably the USB-C ports as well).

Overall, I am very happy with this device. I'll still use the Win 4, but this is going to be my main go to.

I’ve owned several GPD devices (Win Max, Pocket, Pocket 3, Win 4, and Win Max 2) and the Win Max 2 is definitely a great hybrid device! If you like gaming primarily using mouse and keyboard with occasional controller use, this is the best device.

Everything was as expected and shipping only took a few days from GB to US.

Interesting system but hangs sometimes.
Dont know if it is linked to GPU driver but sometimes it will reboot the pc while changing ingame resolution when in fullscreen. No probem in windowed fullscreen.

Also had green screen hard hangs After gaming for some time. Had to set ram frequency to 6400 MHz...

Sometimes the system will freeze for some seconds. Need to reboot ... Maybe bound to motion assistant... Will try without it.

Also had green flicker when watching Netflix in edge browser. Will try in the ms store app or in another browser.

Last when plugged to external monitor and the gpd is closed then the mouse will sometimes move alone... Had to disable the touch screen in device mgr.

Lots of problems for an expansive device that is in its 4th version...

GPD WIN MAX 2 2023

I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best laptop that I have ever owned. The form factor is perfect, it's small enough to be ultra-portable but not too small as to not be able to work comfortably with it. I had a GPD Pocket 2 before this and while I enjoyed the portability of it, I always felt that it was a tad too small.

The build quality of the Win Max 2 is exceptional. You can really see and feel the quality, with the all metal construction. The keyboard is great to type on and the trackpad is quite good for it's size (supports multi-touch gestures).

The built in game controls are amazing. The only things I would personally like to see changed with them for the next generation is that I would prefer the left thumbstick to be on the right of the directional pad instead of the left. It's awkward to work the left triggers with the position that it's in.

The mouse control mode for the game controls is also not as flexible as it should be in the sense that the triggers can't be remapped at all, and the a, b, x, y buttons can't be mapped to click or scroll (which would be great). It should also be possible to set the cursor sensitivity and acceleration.

I personally don't use the built in mouse mode at all, I instead use the Handheld Companion software which is amazing. I have it so when I long press the start button it switches between game control and desktop control modes in the software. I have the x, b buttons mapped as left and right click, and the a, y buttons mapped as scroll down, scroll up.

I find this extremely comfortable to use and I have been using the joystick to control the mouse almost all the time as I find it more comfortable to use than the trackpad. It reminds me of using the mouse control knub on my old IBM Thinkpad, only it's more comfortable and precise. It's really cool to be able to use a combination of the joystick, the trackpad, and the touchscreen to control the mouse. Sometimes I switch it up a bit to help with fatigue.

I have the model with the AMD 8840U CPU, 64GB of RAM, 2TB OS drive, I have added a 2TB M.2 SSD in the expansion port and a 1.5TB SD card in the Micro-SD slot. This thing is powerful enough to play even recent games at reasonable settings. It's also nice to be able to control the TDP via Handheld Companion to reduce battery drain. I have it use the full 28W TDP when plugged in but it scales down to 15W TDP automaatically when on battery. The CPU has 8 cores, 16 threads, boosting to as high as 5ghz.

If you're looking for an ultra compact powerhouse this is it. I highly highly recommend it.

There's nothing like opening up a Beautiful computer and putting it the test,Does great and would recommend if your a gamer and travel.

I upgraded from the OneXPlayer 2 to the Win Max 2 (2023). This loads games like Starfield much faster. Having the keyboard built in means I don't have to carry one with me. Battery life is good and already added a 2TB 2230 drive. Great all around device.

GPD WIN MAX 2 2024

I still have the 2022 model. It serves me perfectly. Of course, some of the latest games are difficult to play without an additional external GPU, but games up to 20-21 can be played quite solidly, if not perfectly. The controller is fantastic, a much better experience than the Xbox controller, or any other.
I notice in the comments that people are complaining about the bad battery. I don't know where this experience comes from, but my battery lasts two, up to two and a half hours and that's still the case after three years! And that's quite enough for me, because I don't play all day, but an hour and a half is quite enough for me. After all, this is just a casual gaming device and not some hardcore gaming machine. And while I'm at it, I also own a RAzerBlade laptop, year 2020, with geforce 2070 graphics... Wow, this otherwise beautiful machine, even if I just leave it on and just look at it, dies in half an hour! And that's from the moment I bought it. No settings help. That's why I find the WIN Max 2 incomparably more useful, and the controllers are built in. Priceless! On top of that, I have all the possible inputs for disks and cards filled! I currently have 5TB disks in this device. I can run games, and newer ones, without any problems both from SD and from microSD cards! Crazy... The fan volume has been the biggest problem I've had so far, but I discovered quite by accident that I can "mute" it even for the most demanding gaming or work by pressing alt-shift (I think, no) and for this purpose the light on the left shift button, where there is also a small fan symbol, lights up. Great feature! The Razer doesn't have this, but it's even louder and hotter than this little thing from GPD. As for the battery, I should tell all the naysayers to just plug in a 100w powerbank and they'll be able to burn their brains long into the night ;)
