Sure thing, let’s dive in. So, GPD, you know, the guys famous for making those handheld gaming devices, just dropped a teaser for their latest, called the Win 5. Now, they’ve packed it with this beast called the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. I caught a snippet—barely anything honestly, but PhawxTV on YouTube, thankfully, spilled more beans. Spoiler: enormous 80Wh battery. Kinda like strapping a small power station to your back.
Pretty bold, right? They’re going against the “everything must be non-removable” trend. GPD’s like, “Nah, just switch out your battery when it’s toast.” So, your rig dies, and bam, fresh battery, back in action. Repair? A cinch. Just grab a new battery from them and swap it. Easy peasy.
Also, the battery mounting, right? No clue why this sticks in my head, but it’s like, you can slap it on the back or just sit it somewhere with a cable. Imagine balancing it on a teetering desk and, somehow, that takes the weight off your hands during marathons of games. Neat. Or distracting.
Oh, there’s a basic and fancy chip choice: Ryzen AI Max 385 if you don’t wanna splurge. It’s got like, half the power but should handle your average game-y stuff.
Storage and memory, now that’s crazy configurable. Blast it up to 128GB RAM if you wanna, though a standard 32GB seems plenty for most. Get this, only one M.2 NVMe slot but the choice is wild: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB – it’s geek heaven for hoarders of digital delights. Icing on the cake?
People were fussing over its tiny 6-inch screen legacy (ugh, tiny), but booyah! It’s beefed up to a 7-inch, 120 Hz, touchy-feely screen with 1080p reso. Side note: still rolling with Gorilla Glass, like from 2018. Outdated? Meh, maybe, but better than scratching it with keys, right?
And this gem is supposed to pop up at ChinaJoy in 2025. Get hyped, folks! Here’s hoping it doesn’t make us broke getting one. Fingers crossed for a price drop!
Anyway—Tom’s Hardware, for more of this jazz in your inbox. Sign up, why not?
Okay, backtracking… have I missed anything? Nope, all cool.
