Buying a computer that fits your work needs can be difficult, but I can assure you that the GPD WIN Max 2, released in March 2022, isn’t that kind of computer unless you plan on getting fired.
The GPD WIN Max 2 is a game console with a joystick and action buttons on the front and back for handheld gaming. However, it comes with a hefty price tag compared to a casual handheld game system like the Nintendo Switch.
This handheld gaming PC with 16GB/32GB RAM will set you back $899 USD (about $1,171 CAD), a price worth it if you want to make those slow workdays a little more enjoyable.
Another set of key features is the 10-inch borderless touchscreen display with a resolution of 2560×1600 and two different processor versions of the handheld system – one with an AMD Ryzen 6000 and another with an Intel Core i7-1260P.
Other notable features include two USB-C ports, three USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an HDMI jack, a headphone jack, speakers, a 2MP webcam for video calls, motion detection for gaming, a fingerprint reader for biometric security, both microSD and regular. SD memory card slots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optional 4G connectivity (with an add-on module), vibrating force feedback and a 67 Wh battery that lasts for three hours playing intensive AAA games and up to eight hours when not pushes the processor.
However, this is not the first model of a handheld gaming device from GPD as it carries the GPD XP Plus, WIN 3 and WIN Max 2021.
GPD is known for having issues with quality, shipping hardware, and customer support, but keep in mind that it’s a crowdfunded company through Indigogo.
If that’s the least of your troubles, you can order this for the cheapest price of $899 USD (about $1,171 CAD) with only 5o available, which will include 16GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage.
A whopping $1,299 USD (about $1,692 CAD) gets you 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of SSD storage via pre-order.
All orders are expected to be ready for shipment by the end of 2022.
