The Powerful AMD Radeon 680M’s Graphic Capacity Allows A Great Amount Of Games To Run Around 45~60FPS With 1920×1200 Resolution
Thanks to the significantly improved performance, the AMD Radeon 680M’s graphic capacity can allows a great amount of AAA titles from the past two years run around 45~60fps with 1920×1200 resolution.
In addition, RDNA2 also supports AMD’s latest FSR 2.0 and RSR 2.0, which can generally increase the game running frame rate by 50% (even 100% for certain titles) without increasing power consumption by much.
The Intel version of WIN Max 2 comes with the1260P processor featuring 10nm process technology, 18MB L3 cache, 4 PerTest benchmark: AMD Ryzen 7 7840U / 16GB LPDDR5x-7500 MT/s / 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD / 1920×1200 / Windows 11 Home 64bit

Equipped With The Exclusive Oculink (SFF-8612) Female Port And Supporting The “GPD G1” eGPU, The Performance Exceed That Of The RTX 3070s
The
Perf
The GPD G1 eGPU is based on the mobile version of AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT with RDNA 3.0 architecture design, 13.3 billion transistors, 32 compute units, 2048 shader units, and 2 shader units per unit, actually totaling to 4096 shader units. The RX 7600M XT has 32MB Infinity Cache, 8GB GDDR6 VRAM, a base frequency of 1500 MHz, game frequency of 2300 MHz, and acceleration frequency of 2615 MHz, with TGP power consumption ranging between 75 – 120W.
The GPD G1 has a compact appearance, with dimensions of 225 × 111 × 29.8 mm and a weight of only 0.92 kg. It features a built-in 240W small gallium nitride power supply and air-cooled heat dissipation.
The device has a rich interface, with Oculink and USB4 for connecting to the host device, one HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort for display output. In addition, it also provides three USB 3.2 and one SD card reader:
- When using an Oculink (SFF-8611) cable to connect the GPD G1 and the host device, the HDMI and DisplayPort can be used for external displays, but the USB A and SD card reader will not work.
- When using a USB4 cable to connect the GPD G1 and the host device, the HDMI and DisplayPort can be used for external displays, and the USB A and SD card reader will work.
- When using both an Oculink (SFF-8611) and USB4 cable to connect the GPD G1 and the host device, the HDMI and DisplayPort can be used for external displays, and the USB A and SD card reader will work.
According to 3DMark tests, the GPD G1 scored higher in Fire Strike than the RTX 4070 PC version, and scored higher in Time Spy than the RTX 4060 Mobile version.
We tested the above games on WIN Max 2 2023 + GPD G1 and compared them with a PC configured with Ryzen 5 5600x + RTX 3070, both at a resolution of 2560×1440. It can be seen that the FPS of most games tested on WIN Max 2 2023 + GPD G1 are higher than those of the latter.
Highly Efficient Intelligent Cooling Solution With A Large Turbo Fan And Dual Heat Pipe Design
WIN Max 2 comes with an improved PC-grade cooling system with a large turbo fan + dual heat pipes, which boasts high volume side air blow and highly intelligent speed control. When the internal temperature is lower than 40°C, the fan speed will not exceed 20% of its maximum capacity. When the internal temperature reaches higher than 40°C, the fan speed goes up in 2% PWM increments until reaching its maximum threshold (100%).
Hall Sensor Sticks (First Time In Our Devices), Stepless, Great Linearity, No Dead Zone Neither Stick Drift
The traditional potentiometer stick that relies on the resistance brush to generate the voltage signal is prone to “drift” issues caused by wear and tear in long-term use. With WIN Max 2, we’ve introduced for the first time Hall Sensor sticks with built-in inductance coils. The working principle of magnetic induction (different magnetic fluxes are generated when the stick rotates to different positions, which in turn generates different voltage signals) determines that Hall Sensor sticks have no wear and tear, and therefore won’t have the issue of stick drift! The sticks also adopt a stepless design for achieving 360° super-linear signal output without any dead zone.
Built-in Magnetic Controller Cover To Switch Instantaneously Between A Gaming Handheld And A Business Laptop Modes At Any Moment
The game controller built into the handheld gaming PC can make it unsuitable for the workplace! To solve this problem, we added two stick covers for WIN Max 2. The magnetic design ensures that the two covers won’t fall off when using the device. When playing games, you can also stow the covers in the rear compartment, which helps prevent accidental loss!
With A Full-Speed USB4 Interface Providing Up To 40Gbps Of Bandwidth, It Supports External eGPU For Smooth Gameplay Of AAA Games
AMD users, behold! The AMD version of WIN Max 2 has a USB4 port supporting up to 40Gbps transfer rate. The USB4 interface natively supports the Thunderbolt 3 protocol, so now you can play games with the AMD version of WIN Max 2 connected to a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU!
The Intel version of WIN Max 2 has a built-in Thunderbolt 4 port which can be used to connect to a more efficient Thunderbolt 4 eGPU!
Comes With One Large Capacity M.2 2280 SSD And One M.2 2230 Slot For Easy Capacity Expansion
For the unlimited expansion of storage space, in addition to an M.2 2280 slot already occupied by the machine’s own nvme ssd, there is also an M.2 2230 slot on the back of the Max 2’s motherboard. Both slots are based on the PCIe 4.0 × 4 bus, with a theoretical throughput of up to 7.877GB/s. Due to restraints in terms of body thickness, both M.2 slots only support single-sided SSDs. The machine comes with a PCIe 3.0 SSD. If you want faster read and write speeds, you can replace it with a PCIe 4.0 SSD.
Optional 4G LTE Module With Full Operator Support For Gaming Anytime, Anywhere
After the launch of the first-generation GPD WIN handheld, some users suggested we should add a 4G LTE module to the follow-up products, so that they can play online games anytime, anywhere. However, due to various constraints (internal space, heat generation, cost, etc.), we had been unable to add this feature in the past. This time, we finally did it, adding a 4G LTE module that supports 4G TD-LTE, FDD-LTE and 3G CDMA in WIN Max 2, which is comparable in performance to mainstream laptops and can be used in more complex scenarios.
Considering that some users may not need 4G capabilities, we have adopted a detachable module design, allowing anyone who needs a 4G connection to put the module into the slot on the back of the machine. The operation is very easy, just remove the cover and slot in the module and you are done!
High-speed SD And MicroSD Slots Added For Photographers/Players
Backlit Keyboard With 2-level Brightness Adjustment And Precision Touchpad With Gesture Customization Support, All For Higher Input Comfort
To improve the typing experience, we’ve added a backlit keyboard that has 2 brightness levels to Max 2, allowing you to always see legends comfortably regardless of the ambient brightness. In addition, to address concerns about touch accuracy and improve touch input comfort, we’ve also added the Precision Touchpad driver for Max 2, which supports touch gesture customization with the Touchpad configuration tool that comes with Windows.
First Of Our Device To Introduce Side Mounted Power Button With A Fingerprint Sensor
Built-in 4-channel Intelligent Amplifier And 4 Super Linear Surround Sound Speakers
Thanks to its 2 AAC Super Linear Speakers with Double Amplitude Boost, WIN 3’s sound performance is very well received by users! This time, WIN Max 2 is further upgraded with 4 super-linear speakers to achieve surround sound. And it also uses a high PSRR intelligent 4-channel amplifier with higher energy efficiency and lower noise. Whether watching videos or playing games, Max 2 can always bring you immersive and cinematic 3D surround sound!
Built-in 2 Million Pixel Camera With Ultra-wide Viewing Angle And High Refresh Rate
WIN Max 2 has a built-in 2-megapixel camera with a maximum resolution of 1612×1212. It boasts an ultra-wide viewing angle and a high refresh rate for a better live video conferencing experience.

After more than a month with the product, I can say that it is an amazing piece of technology. I have been following GPD for years with their first models. I had the opportunity to purchase this product and I can say that it is a real wonder! Construction quality is quite good, and the materials are quality quality. It seems that they have improved the audio with respect to the model of the 6800u generation. My experience with the seller has been good, I have had some delay due to customs but everything is correct.
Good computer, very compact very easy to carry Positive: powerful, i can play most of my online games at 60fps low. screen is very sharp and perfect to do work or watch videos. keyboard is easy to type as on big laptops and also easy to type with thumbs, love the keyboard Negative: sound quality is bad but can be partially fixed by equalizer software. microphone quality is very bad Conclusion: i watched a lot of video reviews before buying so i know what this device can do and i know exactly why i need it, this is the best 10inch compact laptop on the market right now
Amazing Fast delivery thumbs up~!
Very nice laptop, got it on sales. Highly recommended and they very nice
I am so happy that finally, my GPD win max 2 2024 arrived. I am highly satisfied with the product. This product is powerful, and playing games on it feels the best. The product was packed nicely and contains charger and manual as well But it was missing the cover plates for the controller. I talked with the GPD team and they said they will ship them soon. The product took about 18 days to reach but was still under the estimated time. The GPD team is highly cooperative and will help you whenever you need. I highly recommend this to everyone
everything is ok
I love the form factor of this little handheld/mini laptop, it is a fun little piece of kit. Please keep coming up with such fun designs to keep things interesting. They are specced well, with fast CPU/iGPU and great options for RAM and storage (1 internal SSD, 1 additional SSD via trap door and SD/microSD slots), touchpad, controllers and lots of ports (USB-C x2, Oculink, HDMI, USB-A x2, etc). I wish there was an option for a discrete notebook but I'm not sure that's possible in this size. Shipping was fast too, 5 days from China to Singapore inclusive of weekend. Overall very happy with this piece of kit!
Very nice little laptop/handheld, it is my daily driver now.
