GPD WIN MAX ANNOUNCED


I'm happy with my Nokia 6310i, beats every modern Phone-device in Battery time easily. :cool:

There was a little article on notebookcheck about the GPD Win MAX, they say it could include a Vega 8 graphics chip which would beat the usualy used Intel integrated GFX unit almost towards the 4x, nice.
I'm also very curious about the final case design, we only have teasers yet but I'm sure GPD will not disappoint. :)

The real pity is that the consumer electronics industry is so good at making people afraid of missing out. I've read journalistic articles claiming that it is impossible to survive in modern society without Google maps, Whatsagram instachatbook, and an "up-to-date" smartphone.

Unpicking that a little more, I think what's happened is that the natural instinct to follow the herd has been hijacked by advertising. The general population assumes that whatever works for everyone else will probably work for them - and that there's safety in numbers. The only problem is that the course the herd takes, led by puppets, is worse than random!

This gives anyone willing to live without approval from the masses a rarely-mentioned advantage - since even a randomly chosen direction is likely to have better outcomes for the individual than following the puppets. The same thinking leads to the conclusion that a considered choice of values can significantly outperform the herd, and that, therefore, popularity is a pretty useless indicator of anything else. (but so is unpopularity!)

Thank the FSM that online communities such as this make it possible for choice of social group to follow from choice of interest, where geography tends to force the opposite.

Looooool !! That's exactly what my friends constantly asks to me !! "How can you do without a smartphone ?!" "How can you possibly watch pictures and videos ?!" ...and the best of all... "How can you reach the restaurant ?!" (When it's also in my city...)

EDIT:
I also found a strange behavior that wasn't directly understandable to me... they put all the pictures on facebook (and I really mean ALL OF THEM), and then change the visibility to NONE...
So I asked "Why to put them in FB when you don't want to show them ?" and they replied "Because FB manages them for me, with date/location/people" ...
 
What's the batter life on your Nokia 6310i?
No clue actualy. The Phone itself obviously is stone old and still has it's orignal Battery pack. It was unused for years until I revived it 2017 with the usage of a prepaid card as emergency phone. I usualy switch it completely off and I maybe have charged it 2x since then. If you have it stand-by, the battery time still should be many weeks.

Also, it's gonna be a massive case!
I was able to handle the original first Atary Lynx, nothing can scare me anymore! :cool:
 
The product they teased is the Pocket 2 Max . A new product they will launch this year. They will also launch the WIN Max this year as well . Two different products

Details of the Pocket 2 Max are on the gpd_devices discord. in the new gpdpocket_2_max section
 
The pocket was never really pocketable in any of my pockets except maybe the seat pockets in the back of my car, and maybe the pockets in my cargo pants. Certainly none of my commonly worn clothing would allow me to carry it without taking a bag.
