Still fresh, damnit!
Looks grey in those pics, especially the first one!
I personally don't like having this strong advertising for the GPD WIN here until the Pyra is out there proving its worth, afterwards I wouldn't care.
Steam lets you pick a drive to install games to so you can use that to install games to sd card.I've my Pyra ordered and I do also own a GPD XD so when the WIN was announced I thought it looked very interesting. It does seem like they're making good progress with the prototype but I'm curious how it'll manage with storage issues? Modern Windows games are pretty huge storage wise and I'm pretty sure that it will run out on the device rather fast once a few games are installed! At least the PND/ Pyra DBP systems are much better adapted to the concept or interchangeable mobile storage. It'll be interesting to see what the final version from GPD turns out like and if the keyboard and gaming toggle switches are user friendly or not!

Not that much, I do that with an external harddrive all the time. It's a bit of a hassle if you do this while Steam is running, because you have to set up the external library again.How sad will steam become if you then unplug that SD card and put in another one, possibly to try installing some other games to?
It will throw an error asking you to relocate the files it cant find, whether that works or not, haven't tried.How sad will steam become if you then unplug that SD card and put in another one, possibly to try installing some other games to?
I used to have some steam games on an external eSATA drive. It won't really do much until you try and launch the game, then it will complain it's not present. If you plug it back in and it has the same path it will work again without problems. This is all experience with the Linux version of Steam, I haven't used the Windows version in a long time.It will throw an error asking you to relocate the files it cant find, whether that works or not, haven't tried.
Storage could be an issue, depending on games you want to play, yes.
Most games I'd play would probably be indie games with only a few MB or GB storage each, but I know some Windows games take up 40GB and more... even with a 256GB MicroSD Card, the storage would be full with 6 of these games.
That comparison is a bit unfair: Most of the Windows games that use 20GB+ of storage are Triple A games post 2010. These will probably never run on the WIN, no matter if you have the storage or not. But generally I agree, software on Windows rarely references third-party libraries to safe storage like Linux does with its dependency tree, so even a 200GB µSD can be filled up quite easily. But not as easily as you described it, (almost) no one will even try to run GTA V (65GB on my harddrive) or something similarly power-hungry it on the WIN.
Q:What kind of games can you play?
A: All of PC games and other kind of games that you can play with Windows 10 system,You can even use VMware Workstion install the Windows 98 or Windows XP play the retro game
There might be a small amount of people that do that. But there is always a small amount of people that do something stupid. I've seen a number of people who bought the pandora and had no idea about Linux and then decided to sell it because it was to complicated for them too work out.
