GPD Win 2 - Pocket Gaming Laptop


Today I am sharing about a great product for gamers who are busy with their day to day lives.It is GPD Win 2.Here GPD stands for GamePad Digital.So some of you may have heard about GPD Win.Actually this is the second edition of GPD Win.Actually this is a Handheld Gaming Console which supports most of the newely released games which require a better VGA and RAM capacity.When reading this post you will get a thought that this is similar to PSP (PlayStation Portable).Yeah that is true when you are gaming.But GPD Win 2 gives many more than gaming.Let us see all the details about GPD Win 2.




The handheld devices like PSP struggled to run AAA games like GTA V.What is the reason for that?To play AAA games you need a great processor and a better battery to supply sufficient power to the device.When you are trying to fulfill both conditions,the device becomes larger in size.So it is no more a hand held device.But this company gave a solution for that.It is GPD Win hand held consoles.



Actually you can consider this as a mini laptop.This device has a Intel Core m3-7Y30 processor same as the Microsoft Surface Pro and Huawei Matebook E.It is powered by Windows 10 Home 64 bit edition.Internal storage is a 128 GB Solid-State Drive (SSD).Random Access Memory (RAM) capacity is 8 GB(DDR3).The screen size is 6 inches and the whole device including in built keyboard weighs 0.46 kilograms.





In built Video Graphics Array Card (VGA) is a Intel HD Graphics 650 one.Screen is a touch sensitive display with corning gorilla glass 4.You can see a micro SD slot,one USB type C port,one USB type A port,Micro HDMI port and a 3.5 mm Headphone jack in this device.The important fact is SSD card is user replaceable.That means if you have a bigger SSD you can put it into your GPD Win 2.The display is not at it's best according to these days standards.But you can play most of the online streaming games pretty well with device.And also most of the AAA category games are playable.But not with the highest graphical settings.Here are the games can be played according to indiegogo.com
