GPD Win 2 Handheld Gaming Laptop Features and Specs

Overview

GPD has another smallest handheld laptop to release, but this time it focused on gaming. It has built-in xbox style controller just right above the keyboard. The specs are much more beefier compared to the other small portable laptops made by GDP, although don't expect high end gaming on this tiny device. It is rather focused on mid spec gaming and can handle the old CS:Go with ease but it will lag on PUBG. Because of its small screen gaming and video playback appears to be HD and in high detail and it doesn't lag at all even on HD playback. Overall this handheld laptop is good for gamers on the go who are happy with mid spec year old games. Oh you can code on the go with this laptop too.

Tech Features

Smallest Handheld Gaming Laptop with Gaming Controls

It is almost the complete package for gamers but rather in a small level and mid spec hardware. But nothing can beat its portability. I would say the size is the highlight and the eye candy for this laptop for sure.

Intel Core m3-7Y30

This has the same processor as the Microsoft Surface pro and GPD claimed this processor can run GTA V but i doubt it will be only in medium settings. But it is still a feat for its size. The CPU is known for performance and at the same time achieving efficiency for longer battery life.

Intel Graphics 615

As mentioned above this video card is claimed to handle GTA V. Its an impressive feat considering how they manage to fit all those tech in a tiny package.

8GB Memory

Impressive enough that can do gaming in this RAM. Multitasking can be a breeze too. So you can expect this laptop will not experience any slowdowns or lags or even crash.

128GB SSD

Easily understandable for its size. Never expect a 1 Terabyte on this one. But with the SSD drive expect fast OS loading times compared to a HDD.

6 Inch Screen

It has a resolution of 1280 by 720p, it may not be a full HD resolution but for its size the picture quality is excellent already that is comparable to smartphones of today.

Would I recommend you to buy the GPD Win 2?

The product as of the moment is still in the pre order stage. But when it comes out to the market I will break down 2 options. The first one is you would buy this because of its portability and size. If you are a on the go gamer that only needs a gamepad to play your favorite games like for example nba 2k series games this is the one for you. Although dont expect too much from this, as it may not run all the games you like on high settings. This laptop is expected to priced around $650 dollars, with that amount you can buy a decent gaming laptop with a bigger screen. Overall this laptop selling point is the size and portability and if your that type of guy who likes small things then this is the one for you.
