gpd GPD Win 2 Good for gaming and windows task?

[SnoopAkon]

Any 1 has experience with GPD win 1 version? Does it better for handheld gaming device?

[Hiya!]

I havent tried it but all i can say is that they are just too expensive for the performance u get.

Buy them only if u really need the portability.

totally overrated, literally just a windows phone with a keyboard. The only thing you'll be able to run are 2d games.

GPD Win 2 is not playable for anything modern, even at the lowest quality settings and 720p. Heck, even with that, it can only push Rocket League up to about 40 FPS. Most other titles don't even breach 20 FPS.

I have had the gpd win 2 for 4 days. Been playing saints row iv, wow and fortnite for a bit. They run anywhere from 30 to 60 fps. The little thingy has decent power, just dont expect to run newer AAA games like Far Cry 5 without any tweaking and at 720p. I might install gta v on it and give it a go later

Anytime a company uses the words "Atom" and "gaming" when speaking about the same device, I immediately write them off as either dishonest or morons.

As a WIN1 owner, I can say that while a good idea, the 1st gen device is completely unusable to me. The 5.5" screen is just too small for anything windows-related, and eye-fatigue sets in rather fast for me (in like 15mins).

 

I doubt the 6" screen of the WIN2 is any better in that regard, and at that price range I think people are better off buying a 7Y30 tablet/convertible to play games on.

 

Even better get a second-hand haswell laptop for the money. You might think that kind of defeats the purpose of the "handheld" gaming, but as I said the tiny screen is just to small to comfortably game on for a longer period.
