(I have 3 questions so hopefully you can answer all of them, and have a summary of why I am asking these questions.)

Question 1. "Is the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 performing a little bit worse than the other 2024 models or is it the best performing out of all the 2024 models?"

Question 2. "Is the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 Battery better than all the other 2024 models"

Question 3. "I was considering the GPD WIN 4 2024 because of how portable it is but I don't know if this small screen is capable of having good viewing angles so that's why I'm choosing the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024. But if I didn't and I wanted the GPD WIN 4 2024, does the screen have great viewing angles and does it have a great battery along with cooling?"

Explanation
-I like the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 and I'm considering buying it so I watch some videos of people testing it and comparing it to the other GPD WIN (2024) models. In the comparison between the GPD WIN MAX 2 (2024) and the GPD WIN (2024) models, it seems like the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 was behind most of these 2024 version models, and they are small devices. I'm like there's no way the GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 is performing worse than the other 2024 models, even tho it has the biggest battery and great cooling.

After receiving my GPD Micro PC, and getting it up and running - I could not be more impressed. I am not a Windows user, typically. But in this day and age you have to have something running Windows. GPD MPC is the best solution ever. And this is the best version of Windows 10 Pro I have ever used. I was a little concerned about the 256 GB storage. Until I popped my 1TB MicroSDX card into the onboard slot. Problem solved.

I'm a developer/researcher and wanted the most regular PC available in the smallest form factor. In conjunction with a feature phone that serves as a wifi hotspot, the device enables full productivity simply anywhere. Standby time is several days. The battery, storage, and screen are user-replaceable (with a screwdriver/suction cup). The RS232 is extremely useful when debugging on laboratory devices. Everything works just as described. The keyboard and mouse work excellently even though the small size does have a learning curve. Single-handed operation is possible for some in-field operations.

Processor speed and GPU performance are exceptional for the low energy consumption.

Gaming/leisure/social media users will probably not be happy with the device: No camera, no touch-screen. But that's not the intended use case anyway. I dislike touchscreens anyway and have used it for videoconferencing with a USB webcam without problem.

I hope GPD will continue making these devices. A must for lovers of QWERTY devices, PSION fans, and those who miss the ATARI Portfolio, RacePen, or eeePC.

it's very good

Probably the most comfortable handheld from Anbernic at this price range. Can be used for hours on end. D-pad is great and for the kind of systems that this processor can handle the overall experience is unbeatable.

Over the last few years Type C connections have become the ‘standard’, so in theory you only need one type of cable. However, whilst all the connections may be the same, not all Type C cables are equal. I have numerous cables that all look similar but have different ratings in their ability to transfer of power and data, and I have to guess their ratings based on how thick the cable is.
However the DroiX USB 4.0 Type-C Cable helpfully has this stamped on the connector at one end so it’s clear it’s a power and data cable. In addition, the other end displays as an illuminated number showing the amount of power (in watts) going through the cable. I can’t verify how accurate this is, but I have no reason to believe it’s not.
At first I thought the cable was quite expensive, but it’s not when compared with say thin cables by the likes of apple. The cable is quite stiff but then it is a premium power/data cable for use with say thunderbolt 3 - 4 and not a simply travel cable for charging a mobile (where a cheap (or not so cheap) cable will do). Plus, that it shows the amount of power going through it is both helpful and very cool.
This is by far the best cable I own. I thought myself rather ‘sad’ to write a review about a cable, but I can’t be alone in having favourite cables, and you have just spent time to read this review to the end! Hopefully I’ve been helpful.

Just the right size for me. Excellent for the 3DS/GC/PSP era that I am interested in playing again. Slightly fiddly if you are new to emulation and/or Android but plenty of excellent guides available to help you through.

Easily one of the best Android handheld system on the market to date. Very easy to setup, build quality is superb and being able to play ps2 flawlessly a must have for any retro gamer. You pay the extra with DroiX but with next day free delivery instead of waiting 4 weeks direct and extra charges on top. Also was very surprised to receive a free official hard carry case and screen protector. Thank you

Many improvements over the pocket 2, although lack of SD slot to add memory not so good. Keyboard swapped symbols issues, as before with pocket 2 hasnt been resolved.

Great value for money brought back many childhood memories

Legit. New sealed and fresh.
Many thanks.
Quick delivery.

I love it. Perfect for travel. Battery is decent and screen is great. Can't get HDMI in to work.

The product works well. Ordering and shipping was smooth. I am really satisfied with this purchase.

Had the item about 4 days. All working fine on arrival - added SSD - no problem. Loading up software OK. Quiet beast - so looks that its going to be fine for my use.

So much power in such a tiny device. Loved to small form factor. Can’t wait to get more games installed.

GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 Handheld PC for Gaming

ANBERNIC RG CUBE

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Very easy to setup following the onscreen windows 11 prompts. Once this is done and all updates applied it has a very fast response time when in use. This will be ideal for what i need it for. Especially with the dual HDMI and 4 usb slots. All at a very good price too.

Great gaming laptop, don’t let the size fool you, threw a few aaa titles at this laptop plays with ease. Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, GTAIV, Ghost of Tsushima. Games with controller support work best due to the controllers built in to the laptop, Games recognise these controls as a Xbox controller so no need to bind keys. Battery as with other gaming laptops is subject to what game you play something like cyberpunk 2077 was 2-3 hours. Battery power vs direct power in gaming performance is not noticeable at this early stage time will tell how the battery performs. It feels well built so should withstand the test of time. There are lots of little touches that are useful like a switch to toggle from game pads to mouse, The keys light up, some users have reported the Touch pad is awkward but I’ve found it to be in a useful position. If you’re looking for the best of the best for handhelds look no further.

Shipping was fast from Droix, It was well packaged. The free case was a nice and welcome touch.

Fantastic bit of kit and even cheaper than ordering from China,I'm well happy with the product

I've been on the search for a retro game console for a while now. I loved the concept of being able to play old games that i had already played as a kid, but most of them were discontinued and/or i lost them. So, while i was looking i came across the Odin2 in a few videos and reviews.
I was impressed. It had the ability and capacity to play all those old games, and some more recent games, which i thought was amazing! After careful research and comparing it to other handheld devices, i choose the Odin2 for its continuous display for improvement as well as its high performance. I've had it for a vew weeks now and i'm very please! True the price was a bit of a push, and i wont bother with the postal issues from my country, but for me it was worth it.
Thank you Ayn for building such a great device.

Both cases are great fits for the rg35xx/plus and rg35xxh I feel a lot more secure with them in my pocket knowing there protected from bumps of change in my pocket scratching thr screens

It is a bit tight for the first few uses, but after a while it has loosened up so the Win Max 2 fits into it snugly without having to use too much force. Will offer decent knock protection but I'm less certain about a drop - something with more padding might be useful, but at least the case doesn't add any bulk to the device. There is no carry handle but there is a side pocket and an elastic loop you could slip a pen or stylus into. Recommended if it suits what you need. I really like the blue colour too 🙂

The screen is very reflective, however so is the screen on my laptop. I haven't found it a problem and on the plus side the text is extremely crisp and sharp.
Another potential downside is that the monitor doesn't charge the laptop through the USB-C connection and the laptop doesn't charge it, so potentially you need to have bothe plugged ito the mains separatly as well as linked. However I knew this before I purchased it so can't deduct a star. On the plus side I used the monitor for 7hrs straight on battery and the battery symbol only dropped from 3 to 2bars after over 5 hrs, so I can get a full days work without plugging it in.
I also like the widescreen format which is good for having two documents or explorer windows side by side, and the quality of the 4K screen makes this very workable. In MS Windows you just need to go into 'Display Settings' and change the Display Scale to optimise the text size.
Finally I would mention that I needed to contact DroiX on a different product I purchased, and their customer service was excellent.
I am very impressed with the monitor and really pleased with my purchase. I would recomend the monitor and DroiX. 5 Stars.

I purchased the Retroid Pocket 3+ a month ago in 'Refurbished (Class A)' condition, and it arrived looking like new with no signs of wear. Everything worked perfectly out of the box, and after using it almost daily since delivery, I've experienced zero issues! The RP3+ excels at emulating retro consoles up to PS1, N64, and PSP, with many GameCube and 3DS titles running smoothly with a bit of tweaking. Personally, I've been playing through the Ace Attorney Trilogy on 3DS via Lime3DS, and it runs flawlessly. Highly recommend purchasing this product through DroiX!
