GPD WIN MAX 2 pihuarvuti

I have previously spent ages looking for small yet powerful devices, and even made my own laptop with a desktop 1080 inside! I had been considering doing another build like this when I found the GPD Win Max 2 2023.i wanted something to replace my desktop and laptop, that could hook up to a gpu for high performance VR. This ticked all the boxes, and my only concern was using it for work with the game pad showing, until I saw it has covers! CPU performance is about the same for gaming as my desktop CPU was (10600k),but with faster ram, a faster SSD and the option to be portable or connect to my GPU this has become my everything device. There are a few tools to get used to on it/figure out, however this has been great in the office with additional monitors, great for gaming and all in such a tiny device. The keyboard is excellent to type on, the track pad is usable when really needed but I only really ever use/used a mouse so it's a nice to have backup. The gaming pad isn't as good as a normal controller, but is another nice to have. Cooling and performance is good, although using Ptm is seen as a good mod to do so I plan to do that at some point. This is expensive, but when you add up the cost of a motherboard, cpu, ram, cooler, screen, ssd, etc in a desktop this is not too bad for such a small device. If you use the vr app immersed then this is even better for a day in the office! Highly recommend to others, it has its quirks, but so far I have sorted or got around most of them, one I haven't though is that the keyboard reflects light too much, so if you have a light above you, you might not be able to see the letters on the keyboard too well. Otherwise very happy, thanks GPD/Droix

This little laptop is amazing, it can do everything like a desktop computer. I bought it as a very powerful handheld tablet and after a week of use it became my only and main device. In my opinion it is a computer for everything on which you can play in a very comfortable way, of course for photo editing, video etc. I connect an external monitor and you can connect up to three of them without any adapters.
I love it

Really good unit . Great form
Factor. Just be aware you can’t use both sd card slots at the same time on the 2023 model.

I am truly impressed by the performance of this tiny machine. It can run act 3 in Baldurs Gate 3, which is knows to stress GPUs, with no issues. Also running Lies of P with maxed out graphics and resolution! Wow. Some people complain about the comfort but works very well for me, especially when laying down. I think my steam deck will retire soon…Thanks Droix!
