BUYER BEWARE: RAM speeds not always as advertised!

I pre-ordered the 2024 iteration this spring, received my unit in June, and as of this writing have been using the device for a couple months now. My biggest complaint is damning on several levels—RAM speeds are advertised here and on GPD’s site as 7500 MT/s, but as anecdotally reported across several online forums and confirmed by DroiX support, some (perhaps many?) units can only achieve stability at 6400 MT/s speeds. I have been assured that a solution is in the works from the manufacturer, but given this issue reportedly exists across models (2023 models also seem to be limited as well, though those models were not advertised at the higher speed to my knowledge), I’m not confident that it will ever be resolved. There are no official reports that I can find to reflect the prevalence of this problem, so while your mileage may vary, it is important for all consumers to be informed of the potential lottery they play before they pay! Disappointed that both manufacturer and reseller alike do not amend advertising and spec sheets to reflect the discrepancy (in spite of DroiX support claiming changes would be made to the page). Though the device is impressive and performant as-is, greater care should be exercised on behalf of the consumer when advertising specs and setting performance expectations, especially when the issue is acknowledged by the seller and can be amended on-site accordingly to correct for the miscommunication, hence my 2-star review. Expectations set should never be left unmet, doesn’t exactly instill confidence in seller or manufacturer.

Bought this for my wife -she googles, emails, write letters and plays card games. It is a bargain at £180 and is perfect for the purpose and just as good as a much more expensive i5 she had before.

Best Mini PC and Wonderful Customer service!

I love everything from this little monster, the quality material, the graphic and cpu power and most importantly the portability. I've had only a small issue with the touchpad due to a faulty power adapter but the customer service was very helpful and without any hesitation they send me straight away a new one. It definitely replaced my main laptop and I'm now very happy with the purchase, 5 Stars rating for the device but definitely 10 stars rating for the customer service.

Thank you for sharing your experience in your recent review. We highly value your feedback as it helps us improve our products and services.

We understand and regret the difficulties you are facing with the touchpad on the GPD Win Mini 2024, and also the missing USB C to A Adapter from your package.

Please note that our support team has sent you an email with detailed troubleshooting steps aimed at resolving the touchpad issue. We assure you that if these steps do not result in a solution, we are prepared to arrange a return of your device for inspection and, if necessary, a replacement.

Regarding the missing adapter, we are currently looking into it and will provide an update via the same email thread as soon as we have more information.

We want to reassure you that we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction and resolving these issues in order for you to fully enjoy the GPD Win Mini 2024 that you purchased.

Thank you once again for your review and your patience.

GPD G1 (2024) eGPU Docking Station
BOCONCEPT BEGLES LAPRESLE GAUTHIER
Perfect !

I already own products from GPD and quality don't need to be prove anymore. The G1 is well constructed, with qusality materials. All is working like intended. Performance are good, even with the switch in quite mode.
Used the G1 with my Minisforum V3 and even on USB4 it's great. All games are playable at 2K resolution with almost 60 to 120 FPS.
Device is cool, never exceed 70 degrees Celsius, fans are audible but the sound is quiet. Not like some gaming laptop who are like rocket turbines.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our GPD G1 eGPU Docking Station! We are thrilled that you are satisfied with the quality and performance of our product. It is great to hear that you have also had a good experience with our other GPD products. We strive to provide high-quality materials and reliable performance for our customers.

Thank you again for your feedback and support. We greatly appreciate it!

GPD WIN MAX 2 Protective Case

perfect fit.

Does not power from laptop like others

The most disappointing part is that it has to be powered from socket not directly from laptop when it’s connected to laptop by usb-c. The other portable monitors do that.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding our 15.6 4K portable monitor with stylus support. We understand the convenience of powering the monitor directly through the laptop via a USB-C cable and we're sorry for any disappointment caused by this aspect.

To clarify, not all laptops may have the capacity to provide both the necessary power for the device to function properly and data transfer concurrently. This varied capacity largely depends on the specifications of the particular laptop in use.

In our testing, we have observed that our monitor does work through a single USB-C when connected to a MacBook. However, due to the varied technical specifications of different laptops, we do not widely advertise this capability in order to avoid confusion or false expectations. This is why we recommend powering the monitor through a power socket.

Once again, we apologize if this was not clarified at the point of purchase and caused any inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Good PC, fast

Seems quicker than my Minisforum UM690 which I also have, on emulation. Also keeps fairly cool when working under load, unlike the UM690 which gets hot and throttles as a result - I changed the base to incorporate a fan exhaust as the UM690 has heatsinks for the bottom of the board but no way to remove the heat normally (bad design from the manufacturers)! No such issues with this new PC - it doesn't run hot, seems quicker and worth the money. Pleased with my purchase. PC arrived next day from purchase, speedy service. Happy.

Thank you for your positive review of the GMKTec NucBox K6! We are glad to hear that it is performing well for you, especially in terms of speed and heat management. We strive to provide high-quality products and are happy to know that you are satisfied with your purchase. We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue providing excellent service to you in the future. Thank you for choosing DroiX!

Gpd win max 2 2024

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...

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with the system hanging and rebooting. We suggest checking for any GPU driver updates to see if that resolves the issue. We also recommend trying to use the system without the motion assistant. Please let us know if these solutions work for you. We appreciate your feedback and would request you to contact us at support for assistance and we hope to get the issues resolved for you.

Trudy and engineering marvels if it’s such amount of features facilities in parents are such a small form factor very impressive I would love it if the 4G module fitted as well as just works from the Win 4 if it had its own 4G or even 5G module and an oled and that would be my dream Machine

Blew away my expectations

Got the 7640u version and I've been blown away with the performance especially since my last handheld was the very first gpd win 1!

I thought I'd stress it out and loaded up fallout 76 at low settings and 1080p and got 30 fps lows but usually 40+ fps at 15 watts!

I've been playing more games on this over my full blown desktop and messing a vr headset and while not perfect it's way better than I was expecting!

Build is pretty good just have to get used to the analog sticks compared to my full sized controllers.

Battery life has been decent where I'm usually getting 2 hours at worse on more graphically intense games and 7 hours on ps1 emulation!

It's a little bit bigger than the first gpd win handheld but I'd say it's for the better and it's cargo pant pocketable still!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the GPD WIN Mini 2024. We are thrilled to hear that it exceeded your expectations, especially compared to your previous handheld device. We understand that getting used to the analog sticks may take some time, but we're glad to hear that overall, the build is satisfactory. As for battery life, we're happy to know that it is performing well for you. Thank you for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy your GPD WIN Mini 2024. Have a great day!

GPD WIN Mini Case
Jacob Long
Must have, but could use a v2.

Would love to see it either a bit slimmer or have a bit more storage/protection. It isn’t quite slim enough to fit in my hip pocket, but it also doesn’t fit the grips or provide any water resistance.

Thank you for providing constructive feedback on our GPD WIN Mini Case. We greatly value your thoughts and suggestions, specifically about considering a slimmer design and added storage/protection for the case.

We wanted to let you know that the case is an official product from GPD, the manufacturer. However, we certainly acknowledge the importance of your feedback and we will make it a point to share your suggestions with them.

Your ideas will be taken into serious consideration when discussing potential improvements or planning for a version 2 of the case, should it become available from the manufacturer in the future.

Thank you once again for choosing DroiX and contributing to our continuous improvement.

Great little handheld from 8bit - PS1 (with a side of psp and dreamcast)

SIZE:
Comfortable unit but in a more compact size, I feel like even a switch and switch lite are far too big to be considered fully portable system, size is very important and the RG35XXH is a perfect size its around the same height and width as my 6inch phone. Had a few sessions on that were over an hour or two and did not feel any sort strain on my hands (but depending on what game you are playing, i have found something like MONSTER HUNTER which it can play very well on the PSP emulator to be quite uncomfortable after a while as your hands are cramped using the controls)

POWER:

The trade-off for having a smaller more compact system is it's not going to be as powerful as say a retriod pocket 3 or 4, will be very clear and say this is a system for playing pretty much any retro system from 8bit days up to PS1/GBA all these systems run flawlessly there might be the odd dropped frame or what on ps1 in very demanding games but 99% of the time ps1 will run good. So if that sounds like the majority of games you would like to play then i highly recommend the RG35XXH. The icing on the cake is that it can also play dreamcast and psp but this is where you get into the limits of the system, its really game by game basis on these systems some games run fine for example PERSONA 2 on psp runs very well and has no issues, i played MONSTER HUNTER PORTABLE 3rd and that also ran great. TEKKEN 5 has some drops but its like 95% of the time its full speed and 60fps where TEKKEN 6 just flat out is not playable very low frame rate and speed. There might be other games that have some dropped FPS and sound glitches here and there its really just a play and see , and the same can be said from dreamcast but id say that has even less compatibility. I played CRAZY TAXI 2 and it ran around 40fps which i could accept and it was a fun experience but others might not. If you really want to play these systems id advise going for a different retro handheld but if you are like me and mainly want it for GBA, PS1, NES ect its like a little added bonus it can also play psp and dreamcast games.

OVERALL:
Great little retro handheld, love the form factor - screen is good, its comfortable, size is perfect for me as i want a smaller system that i can take anywhere and not have to worry. The range of games it can play are perfect for me and exactly what i wanted it for, the fact it can also play some psp and dreamcast is an added bonus. I think i would give it 4.5 stars , if it just could play psp a bit better it would be perfect but then you are always going to be searching for more power and you just have to accept the limits of whatever system you get.
