GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 ゲーミングハンドヘルドPC

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 ;)

I was searching for a portable solution for music production at home and live on stage as my intel I5 8gb was not powerfull enough to handle large libraries and many tracks. Also gaming was not really possible.

But now (as expected) with this machine everything is blazing fast!! I installed WIN 11 Pro and added a 1TB of extra storage (2230 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 1 TB, 4750 MB/s) for prodution files and backup and now have 3TB of storage. You need a really small screw driver for that by the way. The included 2TB is not really fast. Only 3500 during a read speed test. This was already confirmed in several articles online. but a copy of a 6GB file took only a few seconds.

Today I used the 'laptop' the whole day and its a real eye opener between all those MAC and boring Dell and HP laptops :) I used it on public transport too and its so small you have enough room for typing and handling.

Cons: the trackpad is far away and its great it has a touch screen as an extra option not navigate. Pro: a great machine, I hope for a long time as I do not need the latest AAA games. Delivery was really fast and instructions for installation and downloads were clear.

Again, my advise. Do a clean install and check for latest BIOS and drivers.

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.

excellent mini laptop !! Droix send me in 3 days in France great experience

Very compact and surprisingly powerful device. With twin usb c connections it is very easy to use with HMD’s such as XReal Airs or Goovis.

Had a faulty track pad on my first purchase but droix handled the exchange fast. Yes I was sad it had to go back but was confident I would get a perfect one as an exchange. It did come fairly fast after they had checked it over and confirmed the fault. Replacement had a keyboard issue where it will stop after it comes out of hibernation or when it's shut down and started up again. Same as another reviewer explained. Few back and forth and diagnosing, reinstalling windows twice etc droix customer service told me to downgrade the bios which I did and it fixed the issue..so thought I would install the latest bios update v0.38 from droix and glad to say it is running fine like it should and realised it runs waaay better and smoother than the v0. 36 which is buggy and laggy. Even on stuff like installing games etc. Droix customer service is excellent, respond fast and do all they can to help. Even reassure you a replacement is ready to be sent out if it can't be fixed(hardware issue). Win max 2 is built like the big boys... solid and premium!

Really good all-rounder. Works well as a laptop, as well as a handheld. Much better size than the original win max

First impression of the GPD win max 2 is great, it’s feels well built and premium with the aluminium shell. I purchased the 7840u variant, running windows 11 and for general use it feels smooth and responsive. It has a fantastic screen, the resolution can be changed to your liking, by default it’s at 2.5k res and it’s really crisp. Sound is surprisingly loud for a small device. I tried connecting to 4K tv at 60hz, it runs okay. Depending on what you’re running the 7840u can handle a lot, but at 4K 60hz obviously there are limits and performance dips the harder you push it, also fan will kick in. With the 780m integrated graphics it is surprisingly good, and testing with several games I am utterly surprised the performance it gives. Overwatch 2 runs no problems, sorry not much of a gamer but have tried some others like it takes 2, these run smooth. The battery does take a hit with the games, averaging about 2 hours game play, however if not gaming can last 6 hours or more with light tasks. It is convenient and I carry it everywhere I go, great item and worth the price. DROIX.co.uk is fantastic also, I put them amongst the best company to buy from.
