Pocket-sized Windows Gaming PC

[@LazerLord10]

I just hope they don't cram a 4k display or something stupid like that into these things. The only reason it can play games locally at a decent framerate is because of the 720p screen, which is FINE.

[@NightSyndicate]

They wont anytime soon, don't worry.

[@Exarian]

Never thought THIS is gonna be the Switch's competitor

[@Bobbylim323]

Exarian its not advertised to be. It's simply what users of their gpd xd wanted, the feedback was taken in and placed into the gpd win

[@AnTran147]

It was never meant to be a Switch competitor. This was just a device that GPD wanted to make after the XD and after taking feedback from their fans with planning starting around October last year. Aside from being handheld gaming machines, they won't be interfering with each other's market with maybe only a few people deciding to get one over the other. Basically it's nothing like competition between DS and PSP or 3DS and Vita. More like 3DS/Vita vs iPhone/NVIDIA Shield.

[@andreas4010]

to be honest, this for me is a bit better as i have a bunch of steam ndie games that i don't play very often but that would be great to play during commute + emulators

[@DrathVader]

Steve Jobs Sorry, Steve Jobs, didn't notice your post. I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with Intel Pentium T2390 2x1.86GHz, 2GB of DDR2 ram and GMA X3100 graphics. CPU is okay-ish for light use, but the GPU is complete crap. 2GB of memory doesn't cut it anymore either, and I can't even upgrade because second SODIMM slot is dead. And don't even get me started on the display, wireless stuff or IO ports. As I said, I need a new laptop.

[@shubtakesdubs5395]

Man i feel bad for you, i just picked up a killer Asus GL502 with an I7-6700, 16 gigs of RAM, a GTX 1070 with 8 Gigs of GDDR5 and a 1 TB hard drive with a 128 gig SSD all for 1400 bucks on Black Friday.

[@GoofTroop101]

Dude I want one too.

Its the kind of thing where the only justification to get it is because its really cool. I also want one just for the novelty factor and to play around with. It will not solve any big issue or have a really productive use case but it will probably be pretty fun.

[@GoofTroop101]

César Clavería I'd say it's worth around $250. I'd love a higher spec for $300.

[@JohnMcCfatty]

why do people ask questions like that to make them sound smarter? yes are they actually just douchebags? hell yeah

[@GoofTroop101]

***** Projecting much.

[@archechme]

It has an Intel quad core CPU, 4GB RAM, a 64GB storage solution and micro-SD expansion... that's damn impressive.

[@billcosbyeatsbabies9947]

[@georgesfredericgubert3236]

nothing to do with a smartphone, actually you can plug your smartphone into this thing to flash its firmware really really cool

[@Agtsmirnoff]

It has the same specs (slightly more RAM) that Intel's computesticks have, but those are like 1/3 of the size of this.

[@CariHere]

Well Linus, it's been 5 years. And I think we can say that handheld gaming PCs have come pretty far!

[@alumlovescake]

A month or 2 after this video becomes exactly 5 years the Steamdeck will ship

[@stratta_yt]

Would have been impressive if that USB-C port was TB3 for E-GPU use

[@stratta_yt]

And at least a 1080p screen Though thinking about it now, text would be minute on that...

[@Novashadow115]

Darrin Ramlochan The cpu would bottleneck almosy any modern gpu

[@andiCNH]

true novashadow, but for just higher res gaming on an external monitor on older games where its not a bottleneck (cs:s, cs:go maybe, dota, etc) you could have a tower-less setup and just plug this in at home to game on a proper screen.

[@stratta_yt]

Thinking about it now, E-GPU would be kind of a far reach for this processor.

[@andiCNH]

***** for recent AAA titles sure, but think CS:S at super high res on an external display, or even cs:go, dota, older AAA titles... scaling resolution doesn't impact CPU too much

[@lucius_caecillius]

[@jashelps]

The atom will handle some games but about 3/4 won't run at the original fps on the gamecube due to the lackluster single core performance.

[@TechWizTime]

My GPD Win is probably my favourite gaming device of 2017. I've been able to complete some of my back catalogue of 1700 Steam games :) I'm working on getting more FPS and other tweaks to the GPD Win. I've even been able to get nintendo wii games working as well which is great!

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

This is basically like if Sony would just let you use your Vita/PSP how you want instead of locking it down. I remember using my PSP to run emulators, browse the web, VNC into my server at home, use SSH to connect to school servers when doing homework back in 2007. Was awesome. Vita had a chance too, until Sony locked it down. Meanwhile, you can pretty much use a Windows device in any way you want. Wish I could just have a gaming handheld-form factor device as my phone/mobile device. This GPD is honestly a step in the right direction. I've always hated how mobile hardware companies made every single device in the last 8 years a brick with a big screen and 1-4 other buttons, no other input. The Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS PSP, Vita, they were all good user experiences. Even the Nokia N-Gage, as limited as it was, was a step in the right direction for cell phones imo. I would kill for a PS Vita-shaped Android/Win10 device with full touch screen mobile experience, traditional gaming inputs (which work fine for mouse/scrolling input and basic navigation functions), that can make outgoing calls with 4G LTE and built in mic/speakers.

[@Axel230]

Joseph DiSalvo Amen to all of this brother!!! Companies seem to think it's touchscreen or nothing, when a joystick and buttons can work as well after a little getting used to (And a physical keyboard like the one here doesn't hurt either)

[@Macintosh007]

Joseph DiSalvo I seriously regret selling my psp 3000 to get a ps vita. I will never forget the emails I got from Sony every few weeks saying in the next update they are removing functionality for more and more apps. Also the proprietary charger and "sd" card was such a horrible move by sony. There are sooo many other things I can criticise much more about the vita, like its UI. Man that thing was a disaster.

[@Xacris]

you might want to keep an eye on this then, see if it comes to fruition- www.indiegogo.com/projects/smach-z-the-handheld-gaming-pc-games#/

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

Xacris Hm. A good effort, and a decent device. Not quite as pocket sized as any of the aforementioned devices. You don't need a PC that can "play new AAA titles." You just need one that has a snappy UI that can play games 3+ years old and can emulate.

But this should work no ? www.anandtech.com/show/9963/asus-booth-tour-at-ces-2016-10g-switches-external-gpu-dock-usb-c/2

[@andiCNH]

the USB C doesn't carry thunderbolt, unfortunately, so thats not possible. maybe in the future if it was included that would be kinda dope if you wanted a mid level gaming experience at home without having a desktop at all, just plug this into the gpu via the type c cable (not sure if it could charge at the same time or not, might need to sacrifice usb a for that) and run a larger display

[@thanos5171]

Jakob Alexandersen yeah the cpu should be swapped with an i7-6700HQ with watercooling dock (like that asus laptop) the watercooling dock should have a GPU in it (probably the gtx 1050Ti for it's low power usage) it could be an awesome device. docked in - gaming mode docked out - productivity / web browsing mode.

[@Kniffel101]

*My suggestions to improve it:* - Switch the not-quite-powerful Intel chip with a *Kaby-Lake M CPU* and a *dedicated low-energy GPU* - 1080p screen - bigger screen - Take the keyboard off and put another USB-port into it instead. - Use the additional space to improve the button layout - improve the shoulder-buttons / add a trigger for L2/R2 *Everything else looks nice!* - *Runs x86_64 Windows 10 natively* so virtually *any PC* game can be played on it one way or another - Has a Touchscreen - Has controller-buttons built-in *All in all:* This device (with the mentioned improvements) is what I wanted the Nvidia Shield to be in the first place. I hope that more manufacturers hop on board with making better versions of these! :D

[@CalaTec]

Agreed on most, but the bigger screen.

[@andiCNH]

but then it wouldn't be that usable as a mobile general windows platform for browsing, etc. youd end up needing to carry around a laptop for any convenience in web browsing. onscreen keyboard would be hell on a screen that small

[@John-shreds]

1080p screen is a bit too much for 5 inches. 720p is fine. To up the res means more power consumption. No built in keyboard? Then it would only pushed for gaming. As linus said, remoting into your workstation seems a bit dope.

People have been waiting for console quality games on mobile devices for a long time. The reason it will never happen is because our definition of console quality games is changing faster than mobile processors and batteries can handle. By the time a game like FF15 is playable on mobile, everybody will be like "I can't wait until we can play games like FF20 on mobile!!!"

[@MrLaeddis1]

Streaming, of course, is a different story. When Internet speeds can handle it, that may be the best way to go.

[@MrLaeddis1]

***** Batterry life makes gaming laptops pretty much desktops. Also, laptop without a mouse or controller is not a good gaming laptop, and you can plug in a mouse or controller but is it really portable at that point if you're carrying around a mouse and plugging into an outlet.

[@dannyonthewallyt]

The thing is, speed is not the only thing keeping game streaming from being more prolific. Until Internet access can be gotten ANYWHERE in the world, no matter where you are, with no interruptions, no downtime, and no throttling whatsoever AND can be gotten for cheap so anyone and everyone can afford it, streaming will just be a cute little extra functionality.

[@dougculley6066]

nah thank you for the benchmark results. I plan on buying one since it's cheaper than a laptop and frankly cooler. I'm a truck driver and would like to play games like civ on the go. plugging my mouse into it will help a ton.

[@TyBraek]

When you take in to account the price of windows 10 $100-$130 this is a pretty good deal. Its better than my old netbook.

[@jensdanbolt6953]

100+ is for the consumer version where you get a license and can install and move from device to device as you like. They are getting the OEM version which is locked to the motherboard from the factory, but a lot cheaper. Actually, I think Microsoft gives away OEM licenses for free to devices below 8 inches screen size, as part of their strategy of building up mobile market share. That's why there's a lot of 8-inch Windows tablets around and almost no 9-inch or 10-inch ones.

[@Kletterhaus]

Ty_Braek i bought a windows 10pro key for 40bucks

[@jensdanbolt6953]

matemana No, it is shipped with Windows included, and even if you could then the price difference would be much less than 100$ because OEM's like the producers of this thing get an OEM license, which is a lot cheaper. If I remember correctly, they actually get it for free because the device screen is less than 8' diagonally. So no, there's no reason why you should get a 100$ discount for dropping Windows even if you could do that.

[@mwbgaming28]

This device also impressed me, it is perfect for retro gaming. Older PC games, or other games running with emulators. Sure the battery life is bad, but just use a external battery pack to charge it and you can play for a long time. Plus this is such a great portable win10 device if you need to use it for that as well. It would have been nice if they had a more expensive version that was a bit bigger and thicker so they could squeeze more power into the device. As long as you can put it in a normal or large coat pocket.

Now I know what you're thinking, why bring up the second option if you meant the first one? Because it's been shown that it can easily get around the problem of not be powerful enough

[@empresslithia]

I would buy that as a pure emulation device.

[@blainechandler1551]

Luciana Turner-Howard Fruin a decent smart phone can run any emulator up to psx very well.

it's a nice gadget to be honest. The price is..ehm.. a little high for now, but the idea is amazing. I hate playing emulators on my smart phone (I own a razr D3 that has a tiny display) so being able to use them with an actual controller included in the device is a plus It's a cool thing, but I would wait at least a year to see if it evolves into something better I'd buy it if I had the cash tho

[@absurddive]

oh and i almost forgot, changing my smart phone is out of the question. I like the size and it's comfortable to use.

[@DarknessBunny]

N1nj4 How about Sony Xperia Z5 Compact?

[@ColasTeam]

Probably won't evolve much since Intel is bailing out and AMD low-power APUs are too hot for this size.

[@asingleverse]

Check out the clip-on controllers from MOGA. They're designed specifically to use with phones. I love to use emulators on my phone when I'm travelling so I bought one a few years ago. Mine is the base model one so it runs on AAA batteries but they make much higher quality versions than the one I have that don't require batteries.

[@Reegareth]

Agreed... Its pretty good as an idea but it needs more power for it to be a true solution to mobile windows gaming

***** I got mine running kingdom hearts 1 perfect and kingdom hearts II nearly perfect (A bit slow on the crazy bosses). Most of the games I tried are playable. It is kind of funny though since most of the games I thought weren't going to work worked and a lot of the games I thought were going to work didn't work. Like the ratchet and clank games don't work at all.

[@MikeTV52]

it can play ps2 games for 350 dollars Terrible . get a Nintendo switch and play modern games on the go

Regarding the battery life, if you charge it fully it can play games for around 4 hours, if watching the video it can last for 8-10 hours.

[@ashoif77]

Ok... I'm *Genuenly* impressed with the concept of this thing. Considering how powerful it is for the size Some ideas for the next generation: > *DON'T* and mean *DON'T* give this thing a QHD display or something. The resolution its at is fine! Be realistic, it's what allows it to game so well in the 1st place, and its small enough for the resolution to not be a big deal anyway! _(If they _*_are_*_ going to increase it at all it should be 768p at MOST)_ > A better way to improve the display is in colors, brightness, etc... > Make the screen a little larger overall, maybe by reducing the bezels a bit (6-6.5" would ve nice) > improve the build quality. Plastic is fine but *Cheap* plastic isn't > Change the 16:9 aspect ratio to something taller like 16:10, it adds some screen real-estate

[@christhepocketmasterr]

I bought one, and have had it for a while. It is an impressive device!! It is better than all of the computers I have owned (my computers were from 2013, and 2015 btw). I could do video editing, play kick ass games, read books, connect my wacom tablet to draw on photoshop, and even do work. It is a PC in your pocket. It could do pretty much anything a regular laptop can do. However, it does have cons - but the pros definitely outweigh them. I highly recommend getting one. They're hard to find though...

[@sotya7097]

Did you here about the SMACH Z? It's also a portable PC, but it runs SteamOS.

it would be sick running kali linux on that thing

[@andresotondo1045]

yeah i was thinking the same. it could be really useful for networking, sysadmins and security experts.

[@zalyster]

Look up the Pandora (and its upcoming successor the Pyra). Same thing but uses ARM and runs Linux. Doesn't have the wealth of software Windows does, but its completely open so you can run whatever OS you want, compile existing software for it, and games/emulators are actually optimized for it (rather than using existing emulators that don't optimize for the low power).

[@thedigitalrealm7155]

zalyster Does the Pandora have a 64 bit arm processor? sounds like it wouldn't be nearly as capable at gaming running Linux and not being 64 bit...I'll take the windows machine.

[@zalyster]

TheDigitalRealm well the Pyra is what you'd want to look into (Pandora is out of production now) but it's got a 32-bit OMAP 5 SoC. HOWEVER it does have a replaceable cpu board so it would be possible to upgrade the cpu/gpu/ram if they ever make new cpu boards in the future. You could always use Moonlight to stream pc games that it can't run. It's not really intended to run recent pc games given the specs/ARM/Linux.

My first thought was "this could work awesome with Steam in-home streaming" so it as cool to see him show that off. Although I don't know if I'd pay more that about $250 for it.. I have an Asus Transformer T100 tablet that streams games and plays older ones natively already, but it doesn't have the cool form factor this thing has.

actually Microsoft claiming that ARM cpus will run Windows 10 by next year.

[@njsullyalex2744]

Lol. Also, why not just have x86 running windows like normal? I get that x86 cpus run hotter than ARM cpus, which is why they are used in phones with no cooling systems, but as we have seen, the Intel Compute Stick is able to fit a small enough cooling system into a device the size of a Fire TV stick to cool an x86 CPU. Why not include such a cooling system on a phone? Is that really too big?

[@gettingbett]

Thats because Intel decided to discontinue the Intel Atom series for mainstream products.

[@Verpal]

Ok, it might suprise you, but actually Intel did made CPU for android phone, and I happen to have it. It is called ASUS zenfone series, and yes, I have rooted my phone, and installed an auxiliary windows 10 system (The license come from a ancient windows Vista) on external chips.

In case you have not noticed yet, you might need to replace the Battery. Thinking due to the Heat this thing puts out with the Battery close to the Heating areas, the Battery most likely is about to burst. Unfortunately, GOD claims they can not Ship replacements for some reason, but if you pay $60 for it, and $30 for Freight Shipping........ . Only way to possibly get a Replacement from Ebay, is to do a 3D Scan of the Bottom Shell Housing and Modify it so you can get a new on to fit in it. Suggest increasing the Size to the Right of the Keyboard, and also push out the Housing below the Fan Switch, but also move the Switch up just a little. This way, you can get a battery if it is Wider, Longer and Thicker. Battery currently is 9.8*6.2*0.5 (cm) . Few replacements I found are slightly Thicker which would not be a problem if the Shell is pushed out enough. But what I found are generally Wider and Longer.

[@Mineav]

$249.99 for a pair of earbuds? Jesus. I find anything over $40 is bloody expensive. But I'm not too fussy when it comes to audio quality; it just needs to sound like FM stereo quality to me (or another example: 128kbps mp3 files sound great to me, though 160 or 192 is probably the sweet spot).

My primary usage scenario is as pocketable laptop for techinal support in the field and I am using it also as a backup pc ( I am running many apps like 3d applications, Cad, Game Engines, Office apps. Cad with that tiny screen is for simple tasks on the road with an external monitor works fluently). It can replace even a full size laptop in many usage scenarios by using an external HDMI monitor at home / office for someone that wants to travel ultra light. The only drawback that annoys me alot is that they could fit a 6" screen in the chassi that could change completly the experience especially on the road.
