Shenzhen-based gaming handheld startup GPD announced the upcoming Win MAX 2 handheld gaming PC in March this year. The company has now showcased the design of the portable PC via a couple of images and a short video.
The GPD Win Max 2 handheld gaming PC will be powered by either an Intel Core i7-1280P Alder Lake CPU or an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor. It also offers the Intel Iris Xe or Radeon 680M graphics to go with the processor options.
The Win Max 2 supports up to 32GB of RAM and has a refined QWERTY keyboard, game controllers, and two SSDs. It was first announced in March 2022 and its availability will be via a crowdfunding campaign later this year.
The GPD Win Max 2, going by recent real images and videos, sports a refreshingly new design. It has dimensions of 8.9 x 5.7 x 1 inches and has slimmer bezels around the screen. The Win Max 2 offers RAM/storage configurations between 16GB/1TB and 32GB/2TB.
Gaming performance is enhanced with the Win Max 2’s 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution. This resolution is, however, adjustable to suit the user’s preferences. The lower display resolution could be further enhanced with integrated graphics. The new Intel/ AMD chips will deliver significant improvements and allow up to 60fps resolutions.
The GPD Win Max 2 has a 10-point capacitive touch with stylus support compatible with Microsoft Surface Pen Protocol. The Intel chip models have two Thunderbolt ports, while the AMD chip models have two USB4 ports with lower power consumption. The USB4 ports are not Thunderbolt-capable but the AMD models offer better memory speeds. An optional 4G LTE network module is present in the GPD Win Max 2.
The GPD Win Max 2 has a built-in camera, a backlit keyboard, a cooling fan, and quad speakers. Its aluminum-magnesium alloy chassis provides some degree of ruggedness. The power button sits at the side of the device and it lacks a fingerprint sensor. There are also covers for the joysticks which offer design versatility. This gives the device a traditional laptop looks. The Win Max 2, given its specs, is expected to be priced on a premium scale. Its monster capabilities could however justify the expected high pricing of the GPD Win Max 2.
