BEASTLY 'Vita' that plays AAA Games - GPD Win 4 Review

[@retrohandhelds]

What's YOUR favorite Windows handheld? Stayed tuned for our Deep Dive on the Win 4 from Aish! Update: price has been dropped to $639 USD.

[@leelee7334]

this one so far. I have tried the Win 600, GPD Win 1& 3, Aya Neo Air. It does have issues like the touch screen stops working and I do hit the back buttons. I haven"t noticed the screen flicking issue.

[@quadzilla3326]

I have a OneX player mini pro 6800u. I had planned on the Ally but the performance didn't really impress over the 6800u not to mention all the current issues. I think I'll wait till the 8000 series comes along for an upgrade

[@retrohandhelds]

@@quadzilla3326 Yeah good call, 8000 series is probably my next Windows handheld purchase. Not a big fan of the 7840U over 6800U so far.

[@quadzilla3326]

​@@retrohandheldsI use my G-cloud to stream from my PC and PlayStation probably more then anything I own because I don't have to constantly tinker with tdps and micromanage everything. It just works and has forever battery. I'm getting tired of having to mess with stuff so much I've done it for far to many years on laptops before handheld PCs came along. I know Aish has been pushing the G cloud in conversations lately but it's impossible to recommend for the price so I don't bother. I bought mine used on the cheap and it's worth every damn penny. ❤

[@retrohandhelds]

@@quadzilla3326 Very much agreed here, he's really changed my mind on the G Cloud, i've started using it a lot more.

[@RetroGameCorps]

Great video, Stubbs!

[@retrohandhelds]

Ah dang, thanks man!!

[@guangsihan]

I didn't know Nicolas Cage was also into retro handhelds.

[@retrohandhelds]

He insisted on being included; I didn't want to fight him on it.

[@clausjahnel5379]

Wow,... I also never knew there's a RP2+XXL in existence. But obviously you need to be a top tier celebrity to get hold of such very special editions.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

So happy it runs Solitaire, I was worried for a minute

[@retrohandhelds]

You better believe it!

[@Elcoyote_13]

can it play tetris nd pingball tho if not this might negate my purchase.🤣

[@KyleRuggles]

Great review, Stubbs! This is impressive given the price, the size, battery life and low tdp performance! It really seems like a great deal if you were to compare the 7840u version to the Ally. Really impressed by how many games you could run at 5w tdp! But not for me, too expensive and since I play AAA games at home, streaming w/moonlight is good enough for me, but I'm really loving all the diversity! Just imagine what we had just 2 years ago.

[@retrohandhelds]

Thanks Kyle man! Yeah, I hear you on the price, it is truly amazing how far we've come.

[@shrippie-4214]

10:34 what the actual fook +Respect for playing Sherk though -Respect for no Dead or Alive

[@mythrid12]

My favorite x86 handheld for sure. I really underestimated how useful the keyboard and mouse would be. Love the size as well.

[@retrohandhelds]

Seriously! Just so very useable.

[@scotrick333]

I want one. I really really really want one. It's my favorite Windows handheld so far. Granted, I haven't used a single Windows handheld yet. Still.

[@sgtoster]

My favorite handheld at the moment by a mile

[@retrotechdad]

I have a sudden urge to buy Power Wash Simulator.

[@retrohandhelds]

Clean ALL your decks!

[@FrugalShave]

I put it on the Switch for the kids

[@tomoprime217]

I am on the fence with these X86 handhelds, been waiting for a Gamevice Flex for my S23 Ultra as my phone is 6.8" and it looks good while streaming games in full screen mode using Parsec or XBPlay. The thing is I feel like I wish my screen was just a bit bigger, especially when trying to read inventory items in Diablo 4. How do you like using a 6" screen on the Win4? I don't own a steamdeck or an ally yet but worry about eye strain. I own a gaming laptop and desktop but want something chill for when laying on your back.

[@leeharris5135]

It looks more like a PSP than a Vita to me. I’d love one though.

[@jungshooking]

THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES WITH ME!!! I keep seeing people compare it to the Vita and it just irks me cause it's literally a copy paste of the PSP form-wise

[@pironiero]

​@@jungshookingKZbinrs 😂😂😂😂

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

@@jungshookingPSP and Vita look mostly the same, dude. PSP has the angular corners that this Win 4 has. But the Vita has the two analog sticks while PSP only had that nipple thumb stick. Win 4 has elements of both since PSP and Vita look mostly the same.

[@KennyKquackster]

@@jungshooking Lol same. Guess it's just us four, not the "PSP and Vita look mostly the same" guy.

[@pransis.d]

Awesome review Stubbs!

[@retrohandhelds]

Thanks Archi!

[@cho-v4n]

Yes! Thanks Stubbs!

[@retrohandhelds]

Ayyyee there he is!

[@ninjason57]

Buying these used is the only way to justify a lower price but this one almost got me bc of its smaller size.

[@retrohandhelds]

Yeah, its become my favorite windows handheld so far, and yeah if you can get this used around $600 - $700, perfect.

[@wakeupzzz9110]

Hey man love the video I was wondering if you knew a safe place to buy this, I’ve seen them on amazon but they are all 1400-1800$ and I can’t find very many

[@retrohandhelds]

Thank you! I've put the best links in the description, 6800u version may become harder to find now, but the campaign for the new model is our now. Also in our video description. 🏆

[@corsinivideos]

Looks great. Whats switch emulation like?

[@retrohandhelds]

So far very impressive, we'll have a follow-up video showing this off next week on the Win 4 🙂

[@BrokenOpus]

I like your gnome collection.

[@retrohandhelds]

😂🥰

[@secros]

I love this PC, BUT It's very dense/heavy and the controls feel a bit cramped. I love it, though. I just find myself grabbing the Steam Deck first every time.

[@retrohandhelds]

Yeah for ergonomics alone, Steam Deck all day!

[@zinesis]

They should have put another screen under it and went with virtual keyboard. So it could or would have the option on making it play ds and 3ds with dual screen.

[@retrohandhelds]

Ok THAT would be cool

[@camerontrue]

Is it compatable with rog ally portable dock

[@retrohandhelds]

I haven't tested that one personally, but it should be compatible as far as specs go, just not sure on the fit

[@camerontrue]

Can you please check cause I wanna make sure before I buy one for it

[@ljdanas]

GPD products are too expensive but always interesting.

[@retrohandhelds]

The ROG Ally helped set a new market standard, glad to see GPD is dropping prices a bit, but I agree they could come down further.

[@MarkGibbons]

It's almost as if talking about fan noise is actively avoided, not any hate to this specific video, but every single video either mutes gameplay, refuses to mention the fans, or plays music over the gameplay. With sensitivity to high pitched noises it's almost impossible to find a review that goes into this. :(

[@retrohandhelds]

We have a full review on the channel if you want to check that one out, I briefly mentioned the fan at 7:26 but didn't go into it much because once you adjust the fan curves it's extremely quiet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnLcqmqZZ6llkM0si=Oq1jBb7DRRYvc63O

[@LuisPerez-5]

Too expensive given an upgraded version came out for about the same as this

[@zu_perler3011]

First! 🎉

[@BruceLee-kf7rl]

Wear gloves

[@retrohandhelds]

Why ?

[@djkidsolo]

Also my fav handheld. I love it for playing retro psp all the way up to my pc games. I stay plugged in for those long gaming sessions but it’s so comfortable and has great weight to it. And the wrist strap is a game changer.

[@retrohandhelds]

Yeah super helpful! What version do you have?

[@MobileTechGaming]

I’m waiting for the gpdwin mini. Love my win max 2, would have got this if I didn’t upgrade earlier to the winmax 2

[@vincenzopromedia]

I think when you say sony you should be referring to the ux not the ps vita.

[@gunpowder1002]

And where do they depreciate???

[@steveybiggunzgaming8118]

Deck has 7 not 8 inch.

Definitely the handheld i wish i had the most, but wayyyy too expensive even with the $340 off

[@scarletfokx1449]

Where can I buy one for $600+-?

[@ParanoidThalyyMVS]

You can find a Win 3 for that price

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

Thanks for this great job

[@Sugusteras]

Nice video man!

[@TeamRetrogue]

Very good video bud. I enjoyed every second of it. Great production quality.

[@retrohandhelds]

Thanks sir, spent about 3 weeks on this one 😂🫂

[@emerald85]

I had it and eventually returned it . Super noisy and getting hot on right part of device and very heavy in hands . The keyboard and mouse sensor are great features though. Bought an ally instead 😊

[@retrohandhelds]

Excellent replacement!

[@usafballer79]

Are there any haptics/rumble at all with the GPD Win 4?

[@retrohandhelds]

Sorry I should have covered this more, yes full rumble and haptics, and they work very well. 🫡

[@champsammy13]

For that price? No thanks. Call me broke, IDC.

Will wait for the gpd win 4 PRO with 8in screen, hal effect sticks, bigger buttons, bigger battery, thinner bezels

There's no such thing but let's hope they'll implement some of these features next year on the gpd win 5 or....gpd win 4 2024

man, i shope that someone like xiaomi or poco would make something like the ktr1 but with a better soc that can do at least ps2 2x res, would be great, something around 250 dollars.
