Oh wow, so get this—GPD, you know, the people behind those nifty little handheld gaming PCs, are at it again. They’ve dropped a teaser for their new toy, the Win 5. I mean, I barely caught anything in the video, honestly, but this guy on YouTube, PhawxTV, filled in the blanks for me. Bless him. Apparently, this thing is rocking the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. I guess that’s impressive. Or maybe I’m just getting excited about everything these days—who knows!
Anyway, what blew my mind is the whole battery thing. So get this, you can actually swap the battery out yourself. Crazy, right? In a world where everything’s glued shut, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I always hated it when my devices turned into disposable junk just because the battery bit the dust. With this, you can just pop in a new one and keep going. Clever move, GPD. Plus, you can slap the battery onto your backpack or get all fancy with desk charging—sounds kinda like camper stuff for long gaming nights. Uh, I don’t know, am I rambling? Probably.
Oh, and there’s a cheaper version too. Bet you didn’t see that coming. It’s got the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, which, okay, is less beefy, but still decent if you’re just into casual gaming while ignoring chores—yeah, I’m guilty too.
Did I mention the storage? Yeah, it’s like you can soup it up with as much as 4TB. That’s like hoarder level, yet strangely appealing. And there’s dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and…well, a bunch of techy stuff that seemed way too serious for a handheld. But hey, gotta keep up with the big guys, right?
Some folks were all worked up about the screen being only 6 inches like the old one, but surprise! Now it’s 7 inches with 120 Hz and all that jazz. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 too, which I guess is sort of retro now but, honestly, just don’t toss it casually in your backpack and you’ll survive.
Oh, and mark this: August 1, ChinaJoy 2025—it’s supposed to drop then. Seems far, yet feels so close. Can’t wait to see how they price this thing. Hopefully not outrageously, so I might actually afford one after buying ramen for the month.
Alright, enough rambling. Go follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News or something if you want more of this. If they have a follow button—I think they do? Who knows anymore. Anyway, I’m out.
