So, I received an email from DragboxBox in the early hours of this morning (3:21 AM, UK time) asking me to complete my pre-order, which I just did. So that should seal the deal for a GPD-WIN making its way to me in the next 5 or so days (assuming the units pass ED's inspection). Exciting time.

Now the GPD carries some interest for me. I really hope the Pyra will be able to play MC well. I've heard lots of speculation but we just won't really know until we get one it seems.

It should work alright, seeing how with a little tweaks the 1Ghz Pandora can run it.

I now have my dispatch email from DragonBox - that was fast!

You'll likely get yours before I get my IGG one.

Hi ED,
I received a message yesterday that my GPD Win is on the way and that I should receive a further message including a UPS (in my case) tracking number later the same day. Do I have to be worried not having received a tracking number as of yet?
Thx

No Due to the massive amount of units I have to ship and the fact that DHL Express delievered it 1 hour before UPS picks my packages up, there have been "Shipped"-emails (which means I've printed the label and packaged it) but they have not all been picked up yet.
These will ship today, so you should receive your UPS mail later tonight.

Well my Review GPD WIN arrived today. Pic below
Here is everything in the box.
1) Pamphlet describing all the ports etc
2) Screen protector
3) Ear phones
4) US Plug with USB type A output. Output 5V at 2.5A
5) USB type C to USB type A cable, used to connect to the US plug above via the USB type A end. Connects to the WIN via the Type C end
6) The GPD WIN. Has a bit of removable sticky tape protecting the Logo. Why, who knows

Looks good (not Pyra good, but good!), but how does it feel/run/work in practice?

The feel and quality is really good. Feels a quality product. Controls and sticks feel comfortable to reach and use.
I'm glad they went with sticks rather than nubs, although that came at a price of them not being clickable
Keyboard keys are a lot easier to press than I thought, simply because of the rounded design of them. On a similar keyboard I have , the keys are roughly the same size but It's easy to hit neighbouring keys. On the WIN the curve of the keys make a big difference. Still takes focus not to hit neighbouring keys though.
The left indentation is as you'd expect, not good. It causes you to use a different grip with your right hand to type (ie to reach the centre of the letter keys). But once you get the hang of it, it's ok.
[doublepost=1477624569,1477618531][/doublepost]It's easily pocketable, which is good to see.
Weight is exactly 368 grams

Is that paint? Too shiny, make sure to give that bad boy lots of pocket time when not in use to tone it down a bit.
[doublepost=1477626981,1477626802][/doublepost]...I meant "to test how comfortable it is for carrying around in a pocket all the time". Since you keep calling it a review unit I am guessing they want it back undamaged.

It's pretty nice, and the inclusion of a screen protector is great, trough I'd have prefered to have it factory installed... there's always at least one random speck of dust under mine when done by myself... guess the win will not make exception there
