The Handheld GAMING PC - GPD Win Max 

For real, I wanted to see the limit on this thing and was greeted with super meatboy.

i mean, it can play some triple a games, we actually had a video of it running gta 5 on medium/low at 60fps, but yeah rdr2 i wouldn't suggest without a dedicated gpu on the side.

i wanted to see some RDR2

It's a dubious claim to make, although I guess nobody is saying "it can all run ALL AAA titles at 60 fps!"... it might be able to run some AAA titles, sure. That Iris 950 will run RDR2 at maybe 20 fps average with all low settings, lowest resolution possible.

@@macstar95 assuming that will be in the LTT video

She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.

its not the size of the drill, its about the torque

its not the size of the boat, its the motion of the ocean

Why do I feel like this was a reference to what Trevor from gtav says in Floyd's apartment to Floyd.

*MGS 3 fanfare*

not my toaster on ddr2

When can I buy a fridge with an I5

Wait for his ltt video

Meat Boy is actually a good game to test this with, simply for the sake of seeing if the controls allow for precise platforming. If you can comfortably play a difficulty platformer on this, then I'm sure the controls will hold up just fine for other genres.

@@volauvent1505 The point was to flex the performance in addition to the controller.

I shuddered in horror....

Seems like a reasonable reaction

Airpods suck

J D probably not. Linus has never worked with apple, Mainly because he doesn’t really like their products and business model.

They're Apple products. I'd throw them as far as I could too.

Name checks out

He's experiencing it raw.

"It feels like it's getting bigger then more you play with it"

But it is an early one

Don’t forget he said : “It’s definitely heavier than...” 😂

He doesn’t have dog 😂

Tee airdrop style xD

I cried when I saw that.

Excellent

Linus the Minus strikes again.

He just smashes it on the table.

haha

I bet his wife never let him hold his children.

nocankillemi [LT] 😭😂

The fact that he mentions them probably made Apple give him more for free.

The Macbook Air is for journalism majors.

For real. You really felt that *_EH,_* eh?

He's not hiding his accent, most Canadians don't have strong "Canadian" accents, more of a standard North American English accent, the Canadian accent is usually only seen on specific words or phrases.

Rockin Robin , come on, you can do better, ya hoser.

@@robertt9342 Well... Aboat that..

you're the one with an accent

Doesn't have a 3D screen, or dual screens, but sure

Wait.. Still no. Windows DSi XXL

Looks like ome, but DS stands for dual screen in case anyone forgot.

m8 wheres the video of you playing it.

Lantern Gamer huh?

@@cjam777 dumb joke that i now realise wasnt funny, nothing important man.

Lantern Gamer Eh, I wouldn’t consider it not that funny, considering the whole point of this thing is that it’s being marketed as portable handheld GAMING PC for AAA games. So yeah, at least some Rocket League would have been nice, lol. Maybe something a little newer, but at the least...

@@ArtemisKitty your lucky i watch alot of youtube or i wouldn't have responded, but yes it would be cool to see games like that on this device.

He will do on LTT

Gaming

I wonder why no company has called their graphics card or CPU cooler this yet. It sounds like one of those absurdly over the top names that management seems to think will draw attention and therefore sell.

Oh boi

Or yeets his airpods

U sound like u never watch his channel

They have a main channel, called LinusTechTips. You should check it out!

He's Linus, the CEO of Linus Media Group with multiple popular RU-vid channels.

Guys he obviously knows who Linus is, and was most likely joking

next gen should use Ryzen 4800u or newer, I have a feeling that this might be the next big thing in gaming

Not a 1080p display apparently.

@@handlemonium who the fuck needs 1080p on a handheld

@@MrGodbodyNewday we have 1440+ screens on our mobile devices. We DO need a 1080p on a handheld

@@Altroante That would be bad for performance though. The integrated GPU would perform quite poorly at 1080p, so why spend budget on resolution you can't take advantage of rather than getting a higher quality lower resolution panel?

microcuts are you sure about that? Is more a computer than a phone and it has a higher ppi than a Full HD 12 inch display, so is quite crisp more than every 1080p laptop, and with an integrated gpu you were not going to play 1080p triple A as often, and if you really wanted to you can use supersampling or an external monitor PS. A user that had a 5,5 4K display in my phone (806 ppi) know I can know when is suficient, I would say yes to 1080p but this is perfectly Ok probably they’ll use 1080p panes in the next GPD Win with the very promising Xe iGPUs

Lmfaoooooo

Will it bottleneck?

Look for The Phawx.

It will run better since it can throttle the onboard gpu so the cpu can boost higher

this made me chuckle

@ weirdchamp, im going to be honest with you chief, i dont think he is trying to flex his tech on us

@ It's not even the new Elite controller though..

RAY NL watch ricescum and then come back

@@elliottR2 your profile pic is amazing.

Knowing Linus, you mean "let's watercool it"?

"Nah let's just drop it instead"...

lets open this thing up *immediately closes it*

Right? My phone can handle that

Super Meat Boy is an AAA game

I'm guessing with a ~2070ti via the Thunderbolt 3 connector it can? Well okay the CPU isn't going to be doing too hot either but it's a shame they didn't test it out with an eGPU.

@@dialectish it is a shame they put thunderbolt in the first place.

@@dialectish that kills the reason you should buy one then, the main reason I would buy one is to play on a flight or some place I can't put a eGPU

😂

But has a great horsepower as well like Win Max 😂

Hey it got the job done. Also remember when linus made a passing comment about his vasectomy in a video? That still surprises me to this day.

@@AscendedBeyond What video? I'm surprised that wouldn't be edited out.

​@Tesla I already have a desktop for 1080p 60+ FPS. This one would be used to complete my backlog of less demanding RPG titles or for some grinding in FF XIV because everytime I'm on my Desktop, I can't help but to play FPS games with friends instead of finishing those RPG. And if you take a look at it, the specs are pretty decent for the price compared to for exemple, the Surface laptop 3 (Same CPU, 8Gb of ram and 128Gb SSD vs the 16Gb Ram and 500 Gb SSD of the Win Max for 100 USD more), sure the package is different but I do like the design of the Win Max. They also does not have any competition so there is that too ... And don't forget that the resolution is 800p (which is enough for the size) which makes it easier to run games at a decent framerate and if you look at "The Phawx" channel, you can see that it is actually quite powerful for what it is.

@Tesla Well I get that you don't feel like it is worth it but that is because you see the product for what it is not, a gaming laptop. What I am looking for is a handheld console like experience, something like a switch but for PC gaming where I could play anywhere at the cost of graphic fidelity but then hop on my Desktop and play the games from where I left them. I used to travel a lot and not being able to play my PC games on the go (in the airport or in the hotel) was always a downer. I also like to play my RPGs on the couch or in bed and full on gaming laptop are not ideal for these experience (trust me, my balls did not like the heat coming out of my previous gaming laptop) Even when I had my Razer blade, it was not as if I could play it in the plane, too loud, too hot and very unwieldy (trust me I tried). And I already have a switch but it does not have all the game I would like to play. I also disagree with the fact that the switch and the Win max are similar in performance, the switch could barely run Doom 2016 at 30 FPS without some severe visual downgrade (and resolution scaling), while the Win Max can deal with the game at 800p 35-60 FPS on ultra. Now I get it, the switch is definitely the better buy when it comes to price-to-performance and I would advice someone to buy a switch over the Win Max. But as I said earlier, I do have a switch and no laptops. So why not buy the Max ? I mean it can also serve as a laptop in a pinch.

​@Tesla First of all the price is NOT 1000 USD, it is 799 USD plus toll fees which might depend on your area or so on. But you would not be giving GPD 1000 USD ... You gotta take into consideration that the size limits both, cooling capability and Battery size. Both of those makes it that it is extremely difficult to add a dedicated GPU which are both hot or power hungry (except maybe the mx250 but this iGPU is about the level of the MX250 in most games apparently so that would not change much) Keeping the TDP of the SOC to 25W is an efficient way to get you 2-3 hours of battery life, my Blade 14 would give me 1 hour to 1hour and a half with a game like Tales of Berseria meaning I would HAVE to get it plugged in to game for longer session. Additionally, the specs are on par or even better than ultrabooks in the 800-1000 USD price and this is ultrabook class device. The switch has 4 Gb rams, 32 Gb emmc, an ARM SOC that dates from January 2015 with a TDP of 7 W (while the X1 was planned at 10-15W initially). Plus Nintendo does not make a lot of money on the console (most previous consoles were even sold at a loss) but on the game licensing, meaning the margin on the hardware is low which lowers the price. The GPD win comes with a newer x64 CPU, 500Gb of SSD, 16 Gb of faster Ram and a larger battery, AND GPD only makes money on the device so the margin should be much higher for it to make business sense. You cannot expect it to be priced competitively with the switch dude, it is not realistic. Unless you would decrease drastically the performance but then you would also decrease the value of the device. And I don't know what planes or train you are using but from my experience, even my 14 inch Blade 2016 was a hassle to set up on a plane or train table. And using a gaming laptop on your lap is a no go if you value the quality of your balls and what they contain, so playing it on the couch or bed while the wife watches a series is a no go. Now I fully get why you don't feel like it's worth it for you and that is fine. But for the rest, I think we can agree to disagree.

Lol, I was so scared that it was gonna break
