My Expectations were SHATTERED!

A Windows 10 Switch knockoff.

It even looks like the Switch inside.

Yay.

 

EDIT:
It has a separate keyboard, but it looks just as bad as the Switch's keyboard - keys too small, too hard to press the wrong one.

 

EDIT #2:

It has a fingerprint sensor.

I'll give it points for that.

I'd give this a solid "alright-ish", maybe?

I mean, yay, cause it's sorta cool and I like companies doing new things, but eh, who really wants or needs this?

I feel like if I actually bought a product like this I would end up just opting to bring my switch or 3DS as a handheld. They have games that are actually suited for that format and I feel like PC games are never designed with that in mind. Especially UI wise.

This would be cool as an emulation solution but there are already handheld emulation products that do this way better, have a UI system thats actually designed for a screen that small, and have far superior battery life.

IIRC that was an in-house DIY solution. But my memory chips need replacing really, so... ;)

That thing looked real neat. Ergonomics do, indeed, need some work and I also agree on using a higher-resolution display, but if I had lots of disposable income, I'd buy one myself after those two things were fixed.

This managed to use all available space in the the case, that's amazing. This is gonna be expensive as a high-end ultrabook though.

Did he run cinebench on it?

Would be nice to know if 15W makes a big difference compared to 28W.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Reminds me of that Sony Vaio UX handheld from 2007. UMPC's pretty much died when the netbook and tablet came on the scene and even outfits like Viliv went under.

 

What's funny is that after 14 years GPD still cannot copy match what Sony was able to cram into that small handheld. The UX had a removable battery with an extended battery option that doubled as a grip. You even got a flip up antenna for the wireless and built in cellular. Sony was also first to market with a SSD inside - the first Macbook Air with SSD came over a year later.

 

I get the appeal of a UMPC handheld for gaming on the go, but you've gotta be a real desperado to buy into a form factor that's now over a decade old and has since flopped. GPD as a brand also isn't exactly confidence inspiring given it's home base (China) and the fact that it leans almost exclusively on crowdfunding to get it's products off the ground. A company that unstable will have questionable support.

 

Then again I never expected Sony to dump the Vaio brand either given it's popularity. The UX and the P clamshell were probably their most iconic compact PC designs, well ahead of what anybody else at the time could produce. When innovation like that goes missing you really notice it.

Only one comment/question:

How do I obtain that sweater? It is not on lttstore.com...

The second I started the video I said "Wow! I love that Sweater... Is it an LTT branded one?"

Then at the end of the video you ask for reviews on it: I WANT ONE! 

If it has been done before, I can do it...

If it has never been done, just leave me some time to find a way!

I would love to see something in this form factor with an AMD APU rather than Intel XE GPU. Maybe something like a 4500U or 4800U since both are similar 15W platforms.

 

Nice thing about intel is that you get to use Thunderbolt 4. You could probably use it as a serious grab-n-go PC with the right docking station.

If Intel i5-1135G7 has a setting for the TDP in the bios like Linus said, I cannot find it on my laptop. Can someone please help?

It is not available in every laptop, each manufacturer makes, uses and modified different BIOS'es to suit their needs, it may be that your laptop does not have the cooling capacity for such thing, or that the manufacturer didn't see that as a feature they needed to include. But if it's not in the BIOS, then there isn't really anything you can do about it.

I'm curious if its possible to boot it with something else, like a Linux distro. That way it could be customized more for special use cases.

It's not a switch knockoff.

You haven't heard of the GPD Win 2 or the GPD Win max?

This is something people have wanted for awhile.  Something to play platformers on while also being a good arcade/console emulation device.

You can't deny it looks like it.

But you are correct - it is not.
I had just not heard of anything else like it.

I want one of these, but the AYA NEO seems to be a better choice. Less overpriced + no mobile screen to fail + 5-6h of gameplay.

What do you plan on playing on it? Emulators?

Hmm I hope  its Water Resistant?

That could be nice for SDR Stuff for example.

But I would never change for my Dell Tablet.
