GPD WIN MAX ANNOUNCED


Hmmm, i did a quick search on ebay and the gpd site and replacement win and pocket batteries are readily available.Not really sure you should be slagging them off as the official German distributor.
 
GPD WIN MAX is going to be amazing :)

Win 1 could be, as they produced a final batch and I don't know if that one has sold out yet, but it would puzzle me if GPD Pocket 1 batteries are available. As I have multiple customers worldwide who asked for GPD Pocket 1 batteries and I've addressed GPD because of that and they told me there aren't any available anymore.
Where did you find these batteries?
 
Looks pretty cool, and lots of Ports, more than my Thinkpad from 2011, and this was a Business Notebook sort of..
this PJ45 Port , is this Ethernet ? I mean this „Wlan Cable“??
But I will be strong, my next Computer is a Pyra ^^


Whit best regards, Matthias

Do you know any other shop? I am desperately looking for a battery, but droix doesn't ship to Germany
 
Droix probably has some remaining leftover stock from the last batch - probably because of their insane price (twice as high as the normal price for the battery).

The link to AliExpress didn't work for me - and searching on the official AliExpress site didn't show any Pocket 1 batteries for me as well.

Still, GPD doesn't have any, so it seems only Droix has a little stock left.
 
I love(d) my Win 1. I've played many games with it. It didn't have the battery life of my Pandora, but it could play games the Pandora couldn't (and still can't).
But then I had the impression that the back cover had a slight bump. After reading many posts about bulging battery I got scared, stopped using it and tried to find a replacement battery. It took me some time (and quite a lot of money for a battery).

In the meantime, I returned to my Pandora (which has its own share of problems with drifting nub and a broken shoulder button).

And when I received the battery, I disassembled my Win, and saw nothing wrong with the battery. I don't know if it's because it has problem or if it's because it's not very noticeable. So I re-assembled it and put it back in the storage since I had plenty of games in progress on my Pandora.

And now I still have many games in progress on my Pandora (and with box86 I might have a lot more to look forward to) so I have no major reason to return to the Win.

So yeah, these technical issues are a bit frustrating. I can live with, for example a broken button or a faulty USB port, but a battery that might or might not burst in fire or a hinge that might break every time you open/close it is something I'm less comfortable with.
 
I enjoyed my GPD Win 1 for quite some time, until I sold it and bought a used Asus Zenbook. When I got it I played some games like Rayman Origins, Olli Olli 2 or Steamworld. those worked quite well. What bummed me was that more demanding titles would make the unit go so hot it got really uncomfortable (e.g. Mirror's Edge). One other big downside were the forced updates on Win 10. Many times it took them a long time to get processed and then eventually fail anyways, so this was a real bummer. After switching over to Linux I could at least use it for watching Netflix and playing some Linux games, however some of these didn't work properly because of the screen rotation. So finally I sold it to get some mone for a used ultrabook. Since GPDs products tend to become more and more expensive with each iteration I guess I'll stay away. When my Zenbook's battery dies it's very likely I can buy a new one off the shelf. With a GPD product, as ED said, not so much.

Seems like my GPD Win 1 also got this Bend Issue: The Bottom of the Case is a bit bulky
So I decide to use my Thinkpad on Desktop instead of the GPD ..

Whiteout this Issue, I think this tiny PC was quite cool

Circa ~1997... IBM PC110. I had thought about buying one back when they were still new, but back then $1000 was a -lot- of money. Not to mention I would have to buy it on the grey market from Japan and the original OS was in Japanese. Some day I would like to actually be able to see one of these in person.

Note the central track pad between the top controls. 7 row keyboard (tiny keys, not touchtype) - I wonder if it has the IBM Thinkpad scissoring mechanisms. Huge PCMCIA slots and more.

I am not sure why the image link is failing.
