I've had no complaints with performance or functionality out of this unit since it arrived.

Hi

Order Number : 1381

I bought GPD WIN MAX 2 2024 Handheld PC for Gaming
Configuration:64GB LPDDR5X / 4TB NVMe PCIE 4.0 2280
4G LTE:NO

I'm not satisfied, the Configuration is too high but the function is like a very weak laptop, the speed of the process of my current laptop with half of this configuration is much better than this.

Also, I paid 25% taxes for this which makes this product not reasonable to buy.

What should I do now?

Best regards,
Ahmad

This device tries to do it all, and it mostly pulls it off. Performance is great for both work and games. The screen is a good size, and the keyboard feels nice. But it's a bit too bulky for casual gaming on the go. It's pricey, but worth it if you're replacing a few devices. Battery life could be better, though, especially for its size.

Love the size, the power, the graphics, almost everything. The only problem I am having is that the keyboard fails to initiate when coming out of sleep mode or hibernate. I am looking into the cause as everything works in safe mode. I will update this if I find a solution.

I pre-ordered the 2024 iteration this spring, received my unit in June, and as of this writing have been using the device for a couple months now. My biggest complaint is damning on several levels—RAM speeds are advertised here and on GPD’s site as 7500 MT/s, but as anecdotally reported across several online forums and confirmed by DroiX support, some (perhaps many?) units can only achieve stability at 6400 MT/s speeds. I have been assured that a solution is in the works from the manufacturer, but given this issue reportedly exists across models (2023 models also seem to be limited as well, though those models were not advertised at the higher speed to my knowledge), I’m not confident that it will ever be resolved. There are no official reports that I can find to reflect the prevalence of this problem, so while your mileage may vary, it is important for all consumers to be informed of the potential lottery they play before they pay! Disappointed that both manufacturer and reseller alike do not amend advertising and spec sheets to reflect the discrepancy (in spite of DroiX support claiming changes would be made to the page). Though the device is impressive and performant as-is, greater care should be exercised on behalf of the consumer when advertising specs and setting performance expectations, especially when the issue is acknowledged by the seller and can be amended on-site accordingly to correct for the miscommunication, hence my 2-star review. Expectations set should never be left unmet, doesn’t exactly instill confidence in seller or manufacturer.

All in a class by itself.. Impressive device, sleek, bezel less, powerful, got all the ports you need..buy it period.. little expensive but you will not regret it.

Honestly the best handheld portable pc I’ve owned in a while. The sleek design (even tho it’s a bit chunky on the sides) is really easy to handle, powerful enough to open most of the things you need and with the gpd g1 egpu it is honestly a power house (if you can config the drivers right). Besides some heavy triple A games everything runs smooth and as advertised. The joystick and button config is comfortable enough and the touch screen helps even though mousepad is in an awkward place. I’d recommend this even if you have a pc or a gaming laptop. I just replaced my huge gaming pc with this because I travel a lot and I couldn’t be happier.

Fantastic little device. Droix shipping was super fast and it worked great right out of the box for me. I love how versatile this thing is. The keyboard is just at the small edge of what I'm comfortable typing with, but it works well and you get used to it quickly. The trackpad being at the top is kind of weird but you get used to it, or you use a mouse. I view it more as "it's there if you need it."

Some people have issue with the thumbsticks but I think they're perfect if what you want is a tiny gaming laptop that has a bonus gamepad built in. If you're looking for a gamepad-first gaming device that can also do some occasional laptop stuff you should probably look at one of the other GPD devices.

I really appreciate how easy it is to get inside the device and how it comes with a port for a 2230 m.2 drive - that makes it super easy to dual-boot for your different use cases. For me, I ended up installing Bazzite on the second drive and have been using that extensively for gaming and productivity.

I like the device so much I went and made a custom leather skin for it!

I really wish you could buy one pre-made, but the only place that sells them is on aliexpress and their "leather" is a lot more like felt.

1) The 4TB version SSD is not installed at the factory, but by DroiX. This is not stated anywhere on the website when purchasing. I like my product straight from the factory without additional tinkering by third parties...at least without my approval.

2) The factory installed 2TB version SSD is PCI Gen. 4 compared to the PCI Gen. 3 installed by DroiX. This fact is also not mentioned when purchasing and no option for a Gen. 4 PCI SSD is given tot the customer to choose.

3) In AMD software the ram memory has 6400mts instead of the advertised 7500mts...maybe an AMD sw issue.

I will keep the unit as I paid already a lot of VAT and import taxes, but I am disappointed by the shopping experience.

This thing is a power house with exceptionally solid construction. Using the OcuLink and USB4 ports you can get desktop like power/expansion, without sacrificing the insane portability. I only wish the display was a higher refresh rate, but if that lets it keep the amazing battery life it's a small price to pay.
