"Mobile gamers aren't real gamers!"
*whips this out*
"uhhh..."
Benedict Licup mobile is using your phone but now we have phones like the razor 2 and the asus rog
This is a minimini computer.
This is the REAL Mobile gaming,not phony
@MageBurger The contemporary colloquialism is referring to android and IOS, occasionally counting the likes of PlayStation or Nintendo handhelds but people will usually specify handheld consoles.
Benedict Licup shut up broke ngga
I've had my Win 2 for almost a month now, and I don't think you really understood the point or fully utilized the abilities of this device. It's actually terrific
Right? That’s what I thought when I saw this video
John Doe yup
John Doe Not really but i haven't actively sold mine. But once you have the win 2 the win 1 becomes obsolete. Except for maybbbeee weight and size (bc it is a tad bigger) and joystick placement it is significantly better than the Win 1 in every way
I’m waiting for my win 2 , I hope to get it next week
Roy Cuevas lol next Monday lolol. But seriously, this thing is just stupendous. Even for just the emulation quaility alone it's worth its proce. Linus doesn't know what he's talkkng about.
Aw.. It's adorable! I'll call it PC, short for Pocket Computer! :D
yes it looks really nice, thinking of buying one as well, i was a big fan of the psp and hopefully ill be a fan of this too
:D PC? Wow sounds fantastic and very fresh and new :))
so its ppc
#original
A Pocket Computer? Might you say: Pokécom?
crazy to think we've got these things with 8 cores and 1060 tier GPUs now
7 year old low end gpus not impressive
@14 in a little phone sized thing it's pretty damn impressive especially when compared to the gpu in the Win 2 being less than 1/10 as powerful and the cpu having 2 cores
"Speaking of things that..." *thinks of something to say other than "isn't exactly cheap"* "...there's definitely a market for"
Smooth Linus.
When a handheld game streaming device has better I/O than your $2,000 Macbook "Pro."
tru
Myrmidon ikr😂😂
How is that better then 4x USB-Type C gen 2 (and audio jack)??
A single USB-Type C (No mention of full gen 1 or 2 support), USB 3.0 type A and micro HDMI for this guy. I mean, you still need dongles/adapters/hubs for anything else then one USB-Type A connection.
Seriously? Macbook Pro's ports are all extremely fast, and this thing costs almost a thousand dollars, which is really expensive for so little on board performace.
Joshua "really expensive for so little on board performance". Oh the irony.
And still today the GPD Win 2 is my faithful companion.
Austin played on it gtva5 with 20 FPS, overwatch with 30+, rocket league as well... From your review it seemed like it cant handle games which are not 4+ years old...
This was a confusing and terrible review. He gave wrong info about CPU and price, and also now some people think this can't even run GTA3 and that it is only a streaming device... He didn't show any PC game that it can play well of all the tens of thousands of games released from 1980s to present day. He could at least show Skyrim, Doom, Cuphead...
+YesIWill... Why are you falsely trying to guess framerate based on specs when there are already two Overwatch GPD Win 2 videos on CZcams. It's around 30 FPS at 720p, but if you lower it a bit more you can get 40-60 FPS. People are perfectly fine playing new games at 600p or even below 500p on handhelds like the Switch.
AntonioR Software If a $650+ performance device such as GPD Win 2 can't run games at atleast 900P without serious visual downgrade or low fps, I would personally say its a piece of shit.
Yes I will I am can’t wait You've got to be kidding me. GPD Win2 has better specs than the Switch, how is it not even capable of what the Switch can do?
+White Knight 5 "$650+ performance device such as GPD Win 2"... performance device ? I can't believe what I'm reading, LOL. It's a small POCKET computer. You can't directly compare performance with Switch, because developers make special optimized games for the Switch which then they sell for a higher price, it is not running the same game. Also people completely ignore all the things you can do with this since it is a full PC. You can go so far and program your own Switch game on it if you wish, while Switch is limited to play a small number of games and that is it. You can't even browse the Internet and reply to this comment on the Switch.
Kind of looks like a combination between a DS and an old phone.
SylenDraws IT YOU!
That's what makes it cool
Try their Android version: the GPD XD or its follow up: the GPD XD+
I have one, its sooo worth the money, nah it doesn't replace a fully fledged gaming desktop or laptop but its good for road trips or if you need to do a tad more than what your smartphone cant, such as long emails or PDF files
PSP go :v

Vyrium he must press "B" a lot
Vyrium he dropped one of the Laptops at LTX. It was surely something.

this thing might be the best portable machine ever for retro gaming. Like emulation of old consoles and Dosbox etc.
GeoStreber it actually runs modern games, in this video they didn't optimize the settings
PSP/Vita takes that crown imho
Joseph Walker true, but this has a bit more power so it can emulate certain GameCube and Wii games.
It can even emulate 3ds games
True. I have one now and I couldn't be happier. For me personaly it's the best Handheld Gaming device in the world, you can just do EVERYTHING with it because it's basically a normal pc in a very small form factor.
I come back to this video once in awhile to see if it really is as terrible of a review as I thought. And it really is. No optomization and no gameplay of amazing games that actually run well.
This is the equivalent of someone reviewing a frozen personal pizza; critisizing its inability to feed an entire family and then saying it tastes terrible and is hard to eat even though he never cooked it..
I want pizza now
But he says he likes it...
You can tell at the end Linus wanted to say "Speaking of things that aren't cheap, TUNNELBEAR!" but then realized that he was supposed to say good about them, not bad. xD
How many barrels can you stack in Crysis with this one?
You made this joke in a recent video.. are you obsessed with crysis :p
a hole lot. it can run dead space 3 at 50s-70s
*can it even run Crysis*
PureRushPwneD Nah, actually I wish I had a PC powerful enough to play it back in 2007. Instead, I would read and watch videos about people benchmarking their PC's by stacking barrels in Crysis.
Eurotrash RC actually yes it can run the first crysis relatively okay
I really love watching GPD Win videos even if I probably couldn't have one. It just makes me amazed that someone can actually have a PC game from their pockets.
30 Years from now on, Your kids, or probably Grandkids will be playing HandHeld Gaming Computer with GTX1080Ti
@@dastimRETRO LMAO no it's not.
You probably should check Digital Foundry analysis for that.
On paper it might be equal to a GTX 1080 but only for few minutes before THERMAL THROTTLING.
Once it reach Thermal limit, it's barely equal to GTX 970.
So that's like 5 minutes of gameplay in terms of Rasterization performance, and RTX 2050 equivalent Ray Tracing before it thermal throttle to GTX 970 level.
Genshin Impact is still the go-to benchmark for iPhone and Android. The only phone that can match iPhone in Price-to-performance is ASUS ROG Phone series. Genshin Impact can run max settings & 120 FPS on iPhone before it thermal throttle and down to 60 FPS. ASUS ROG can do it all day without even throttling.
Yes I know about Metal API which means the Phone itself can run Shadow of Tomb Raider with atrocious performance. I know some PC games that already ported to Metal API, and there are very very few of it.
If you'd have told Linus even the concept of the Steam Deck at this time, he'd call you a dreamer
Why would you play GTA III emulated when you can play it natively?
It's one of the more demanding PS2 games, it was used to show the extent of PS2 emulation on the thing, not to showcase GTA 3 which I could play on my phone 6 years ago.
Rares Macovei he could have shown a number of different games. He just chose to use gta. As good à testbed as any.
They should at least run other games natively that likely will run decently on this device. Heck even Doom runs surprisingly well with this and yet they didn't show that. This needs a proper review, though I think it's because this is not yet a final production model.
KornKernel I recommend youtuber ThePhawx, he's played scores of games on gpd win 2. His videos are the reason I backed the project.
Good question lol GTA 3 natively would run perfect
600 for a device like this isn't even that bad, judging by it's specs.
EDIT: Just seen videos of people playing GTA 5, Witcher 3 (albeit at windowed mode) and Skyrim on this thing. 30FPS at low quality, but still. This thing is pretty damn impressive for it's size / price.
xorinzor it's a good start for sure. Excited to see them make it better.
Cody Bond cant wait for gtx 10x0 to be GPD size, even for a long time, I will still wait
Quality/price I guess it's not bad at all but i'd rather pay three times as much and have a sweet PC that can play all that and more, at a much, much better quality. I'm probably just not into handheld devices.
I've seen people comparing it to macbooks and that's just not fair, Apple products are infamous for their high prices.
+RiJMC17 seen people even comparing them to consoles lol.
It has INTEL graphics! Buy a fucking windows tablet and use a wireless controlled for fuck sake.
It’s 5 years old already?
FUCK! 👴🏼
The original GPD Win is now 7 years old. Feel old yet? 'Cause I sure do.
@@charcole92810Time sure does fly.. 😲💀
I remember in 1985 when i have my Handheld Casio Champion Derby videogame.. or friends has Nintendo handheld games.. was amazing era!!! but... this little console... WOW!!!! what nice looking thing!!
LinusTechTips still not giving tips
LugioX1 It’s more like LinusTechReviews.
That's a read.

it could be argued that by giving critiques on tech devices, they are therefore providing "tips" on what is or is not worth purchasing.
TUNNEL BEAR Tech Tips
IMHO it’s a very cool idea. I was dreaming about full fledged pocket PC when I was a kid, it can be very convenient as a school/traveling device etc. My perfect communicator would be something similar with windows 10 onboard and a phone function. May be we will see very powerful pocket size PCs what can run AAA games in next several years. Thanks for video, Linus! And hello from Russia, we all appreciate your work!
Same here. The GPD Win is the kind of thing I'd dream about as a kid!
same same just imagine if they put a ryzen mobile apu into those. It will be more better for gaming than the intel igpu.
Silviu Vulcan Absolutely agree. But everything gets smaller and smaller, you now can play on a laptop for instance instead of huge pc. But that you said is true though :(
ilovefunnyamv2nd That Pocket PC you mean the one runs Windows Mobile OS that is used on early smartphones and PDA's? Or you mean the UMPC that used to run Vista with specialized GUI for UMPC?
Also Windows 10 Mobile doesn't run any desktop apps on emulation at all even on Continuum (docked), it just run same UWP apps from Microsoft Store.
W10M though just recently got discontinued and left under maintenance state. They are focusing on making full Windows 10 to be modular and that will be eventually used on smartphone-like device instead. When this happens, then there will be a converge of this GPD Win device and a smartphone in the future, which is exciting if that happens.
Im selling a gpd win if anyone wants one
So glad the GPD is back for round 2, I bought the first one and it's a great little device for older games and emulators, just like this one. I don't think this is huge enough of an upgrade for me to get this one but maybe the win 3 if it is another noticeable step up. I think if you are satisfied with running last gen games on low settings, this new model should be able to handle it without too much issue.
this is an INSTANT buy for me when it enters production. I was so close to getting the GPD win, but it was just a little too weak for my liking. JUST. This thing though, is fucking PERFECT. Can't wait for it to start shipping already.
How is it did it use the fan speed switch from the first gpd win or does it control itself like the pocket I really wish someone told me years ago you could get a windows laptop the size of a 3ds
Linus and his tiny things
i agree!
Tiny Things?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Messy
Looks distinctly 2005
Sergeant Avakkado Excatly, wtf all about this hype for this plastic shit?
Sergeant Avakkado dudes this shit it's a mini laptop that can run many games. For ex gta 5:czcams.com/video/JMNWzd4mTcI/video.html
Because it's a full-fledged gaming PC the size of a DS. The fact that it also looks like a DS isn't enough to ruin it for some people.
Nidus: if u r that desperate to play gta 5 on low 15 fps looking like GTA SA with stuttering then go aheah... its not worth it dude. 500 dollars for a useless mini laptop. U can upgrade a pretty expensive component in ur pc for that price.
This is NOT a "gaming pc"
In my case an Ssd did increase my gaming experience. I haven't recorded myself back then to show you proof but believe me,an ssd does make your gaming exp better well better. The most comon and biggest improvement it's on the loading time of a game and textures loading.
Any chance you'll revisit this with updated settings and optimized configuration?
I want this for traveling, since I’m not going to keep dragging around a big ass laptop across the country.
Get a GPD Win 3
THIS IS BETTER THAN MY POTATO LAPTOP
potato potato potato potato potato potato potato hi, why you are in my laptop
Lol 😂 potato 🥔 laptop
Why would you run GTA on a PS2 emulator when the PC versions of the same games would run at 60fps?!?
Because fellas like myself would like to play PS2 emulated games like MGS2-3 in that little thingy. MGS isn't on PC the last time I checked.
Only Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance was released on Windows PC, at retail, I'm not aware of its presence in any online stores like Steam.
Gta 3 era games break and crash famously if running at 60fps
potato potato potato potato potato potato potato ironically it can run essentially every single Game of GamCube and Wii because Dolphin is better optimized even been the Wii more powerful than PS2
because this device is geared towards people who want to game on their workbreaks or on the bus, or something like that, wherever a Wifi connection exists, and yes City busses have wifi now, atleast in Dallas/Fort Worth they do
Why didn’t you test more reasonable modern games like Rocket League, Fortnite, Overwatch etc???
Peep Austin Evan's video. He covers Overwatch. RL should be fine if I can run that shit on a 2012 i3 3110.
Yes I will I am can’t wait I'll just tell you to look up a channel called "The Phawx" and that test will prove you wrong all on its own lol
It can easily run fortnite
he didnt use config tweeks. and listen idiot have you every owned a gpd product before? due to the screen size running a game at even 360p looks like 720p. litterally everyone at my work thinks my gpd win 1 is running borderlands the presequal at 1080p
zZBuild ProneZz there are phones that are better than this just consider its size and weight. It has to be FullHD 60FPS IPS
This is one of those things that I might pick up after one more iteration is released. Though I would like to see something like this breed a new standard of mini handheld computers.
I think you did a better job on this review than on the XD+ one but if you check out the other people who've tested native gaming on the Win 2 prototype I think some would be surprised at what it is capable of. Doom for example performs really well using the Vulkan API. Would love to see you do a deeper dive on these types of devices.
Still faster than my core 2 duo system :D
Socket 775, grab yourself a q6600 and follow your dreams.
Throw a used gtx 750 ti or 760 and you are good,
ehmc130 I have it. But not all mobos support it. Had the good motherboard that supported the Q6700 but it died. Have to live on with dat cursed core 2 duo E4400 but at least I could OC it to 3GHz.
Anderson Perez it bottlenecks even GTX560... wut to speak of better cards, especially 2GB ones
I know the pain, bro
I have the previous GPD WIN running an Atari emulator with all my childhood games. It's what I always wanted.
speaking of things... I just love the smoothness of your commercials. (not sarcasm(not sarcasm either))
Just got the win 1 for Christmas and I love it I can play all my favourite titles on the go without having to wait for them to be ported such as you would on the switch 3ds or vita awesome!!
Can it run roblox
Ayy Lmao ofcourse xD
Ayy Lmao can it run Halo with General Heed
Can he do this???
ez
How are you verified?
I'm actually pretty tempted by this device....I've got a decent gaming PC for the Witcher 3s and D:OS 2s of the world, but I've also a ton of cool indie titles in my Steam/GOG accounts that I don't get around to and would be perfect for this...Hollow Knight, Hard West, Wasteland 2, UnEpic, La Mulana...now I have really improved my chances of making it through these great titles by having greater access to them. Throw in that it looks to handle almost any PC port from X360 era and back AND emulation up to GC/PS2 pretty well? I'm in.
jay wozny yeah that's what has me interested too
seems like a major waste of money for emulators and indie games unless you somehow get it really cheap
7:55
I was expecting ~400 dollars at maximum with crowdfunded stuff being overpriced..
But 600 is just too frigging much
정지호 I think you can get the original GPD WIN for around 400 bucks. I'm really contemplating getting it.
Just the cpu is $281.
DONT GET A CHUWI. i have had 3 fail. i bought one for myself and loved it, so i bought my brother one. Then i bought the hibook. within MONTHS they all failed in the same way. they stopped charging. DO NOT GET A CHUWI.
Indeed. And here we are in August 2018 when it now costs $900. Strange.
r>g
fuck economics
But can it play with my feelings?
Girls not included
Of course! Pay ~600 for it and then accidentally drop it from a window. Your feelings will be unexpectedly changing quickly.
your icon is a major blast from the past that i'm sure half of this channels viewers dont remember seeing, holy shit i havnt seen that logo in years
Kiboe I have a sudden, implacable urge to replace all the letters in my name with obscure unicode glyphs..
I have always wanted a super small Windows 10 computer. Especially one capable of playing games. That is awesome
The I/O photo shown at 2:37 says "Micro HDMI", yet has "Micro USB" printed RIGHT below the actual port in the photo?.... Sooo, is is both? If it's some weird dual-purpose port that does HDMI and USB, can it charge the device?
Isn't it 4.5W with a TDP-up option to 7W, not 15W? The silicon is the same as the 15W parts but it runs at either of the former wattages
It can go up to 15W if unlocked. thanks to the active cooling it still stays at acceptable temperaturs at over 10W but which makes obviously the battery die faster
Ah I see, wasn't aware it was actively cooled.
omg the guys at gpd are going to a good way dude that shit is just cool
Imagine this running on those Intel/ RX Vega chips in the Future 😍 1060 Performance
Tim Bauer I will buy an good performing Laptop with this Ship.
Actually arent much out there.. 😕
And watch the price skyrocket because of it.
Tim Bauer no mobile apu will run like a gtx 1060 if at all, ever.
lol, if u think that will happen then u also believe in the toothfairy.
First: it will get way to hot,
second: it does not got enough PSU power,
third: Its not big enough.
Das wird nichts :/
Basically tablet specs in a small form factor with controls and better peripheral connections than both iPad and MS Surface Pro
Insane to watch this now on my win max 2
Great unboxing Linus.👏
They took constfuctive feedback to heart. Way nicer and a lot closer to being a full fledged gaming machine. I had a dell inspiron 3000 with a previous gen core m3 with 900mhz baseclock and that turbo boost makes it pretty snappy. Played games like skyrim and beamn drive at lowest settings (and resolution and 30fps framelimit in beamng) and thats prolly why it died out on me.
it runs games insainly well but idk what the heck it wrong with linus. go to ThePhawx and watch his videos.
10 years later: the GPD win 8 with cherry mx blue switches on the keyboard, quad core
I hope they keep making sequels to this on and on, imagine what we might have on our hands in 5 or 10 years.
they're ps vitas now and sometimes just 10 inch laptops
It tilts me every time I see this guy handling electronics like freaking garbage.
It's okay, you're garbage too
Bandit Leader My dick cries because of your comment
It upsets you. Spend less time on the Internet.
If you handled as much electronics as he does, you'd probably throw them around too.
That's just normal human behavior.
Ironically, this gadget is freaking garbage.
Couldn't find an ad for this one???
It is not being sold yet, only pre-orders are available on Indiegogo.
anyone have the sp00ky music used at the beginning?
Linus should of shown more games on his GPD Win 2 video. If he showed Crysis or Skyrim running at 30+ fps people would have a better impression of this little device instead of criticising it for being "underpowered" when it actually isn't
hey it will still run Doom, Doom 2, or Super Noahs Ark 3d just fine
knightmarex13 It runs DOOM 4 at 40 FPS, so running DOOM 2 is not a problem...
yeah as the other guy said it runs doom 2016 at high 30s-mid 40s sooooooo yeah it will have no problem with most modern games all as shown by the phawx.
zZBuild ProneZz pretty much! Buying one after a price cut
We can run the original doom the first one when a looooooong time ago that was considered violent if we could run it on this we would be set for retro gaming
I have the Win 1. I love it since the games I play are mostly indies and old school JRPGs.
PS. The first one was cheap if you deal hunt. I got it for under 300
that segue lol. with that stall i was half expecting to say "speaking of things that aren't cheap"
I've been waiting for this thing !!!
Got the original GPD Win due to your video on it and I love it. Plan on backing the Indiegogo campaign for GPD Win 2 once I have enough money for it since it is double the price of the original.
It will be well worth it!
Only if you are in the more money than brains club and are okay with Surface Pro hardware in a netbook form factor and console like performance at best.
Lol someone didn't do their research. The Win 2 can play tons of newer games Linus just failed to show its potential. I suggest checking out gameplay videos on youtube from The Phawx, Mobimaniak3000, and Deenox Don. And yes it's easy comparing Win 2 to laptops but it's inconvenient to take a bag with you every time you want to take a laptop somewhere. The two aren't comparable at all. And even if you did have to lower graphics a bit it won't matter because the screen size scales with it
i don't know why some are actually comparing this to the switch. obviously must have never owned a real windows computer before
You kidding
Kenward Evan
Fuck your Tegra lol. Do you have any idea how many great PC titles you have access to with this? Like, I can finally play StarFleet Command on the move. Fuck Android POS.
JAnx01 I'll buy one when its not $650 lmao
Surface Pro also doesn't fit in your pocket and is stuck with passive cooling. With a proper cooling system, you'd be surprised how much you can do with hardware that's supposed to be low-end. The integrated GPU in the Win 2 easily beats a handheld Switch and almost beats a docked Switch at max performance, which is impressive for a handheld PC made by a small Chinese company.
czcams.com/video/P2pUSKYBQk4/video.html
Several facts about this:
- The Win 2 in this video is being limited to 7 watts. If it were using higher wattage, it would perform a lot better.
- According to Digital Foundry, the Switch version uses adaptive resolution scaling, which is active in both handheld mode and docked mode. Handheld mode can dip down to 768 x 432 resolution at times according to their video. In this video, as far as I'm aware, it's locked at 720p with no drops from that resolution.
I own both an original Win and a Switch, and I think they're both great machines for what they are. Comparing them is a bit difficult, though, outside of performance, since they're both made for completely different markets.
Holy fuck, it's like the Open Pandora, but running windows, and not terrible!! -- I love it.
open pandora was good~ish
ok it wasnt the best but hey that was like 8 years ago and they did their darndest
Nice that you made a review, but very bad game examples. This thing is up to 2-3 faster than the GPD Win 1 (which was the fastest micro-size laptop/gaming system with win10 at this time), and can handle all ps3/360 era pc games, some of the newer games (depending on the engine) and even more with modding.
To get a full picture of what this machine is capable of check out The Phawx's channel. He demos games from multiple generations on the machine (including current gen games) although this is clearly meant for retro gaming and smaller indie titles on the go.
czcams.com/users/ThePhawxplaylists
Well, this one czcams.com/channels/pnDsmgMnCn0XZvGIM9yrXg.htmlvideos also have GPD Win 2 under testing. More games tested than ThePhawx.
Would love this but too expensive
Tech Thusiast it’s not even that expensive tho...
600-700? What are you talking about? I could build a full gaming pc for that!
Luis XX dude what are you talking about I play the latest games quite smoothly with a graphics card I bought for $300 2 years ago. I'm at 1080p mind you. I'm not playing at 4K or anything.
i play fallout 4 nicely 50-60. battlefeild 1 at 60. black ops 3 at 60. witcher 3 actually hits 60 most of the time. all on high or ultra. what more could you want?
Luis, that is so ridiculous. I've used a GTX 960 since it came out and I've never had a game struggle to run, at the lowest, 30fps. It's such a silly misconception that you have to have the latest and best possible GPU in order to even run games.
did they change the angle the GPD win 2 screen locks at? The original had straight up and then an angle that was too steep.
What about uploading the 2nd part of the one year PC case air pressure Investigation?
You have to consider the use-case for something like this. No one should look at this tiny device, then bitch and moan about how it can't play Crysis at FullHD 60 fps. Temper your expectations.
Problem is, Linus regularly reviews "high-end" computer gear, as in "95% of America and/or Canada will never be able to afford it" high-end. So, when he says it fails as a gaming machine and is only really good for Steam in-home streaming, I have to wonder exactly how he perceives the experience it provides against the performance he's expecting.
Hey, anyone know the possibilities of something like an Atom or even an m3 or something with a mx 150 fitting into a package like this? I would love to have something like that, but I could see battery and definitely thermal limitations being a huge issue. If something like that exists, I would appreciate a link or name, if not, maybe I could manufacture a small batch....
Anonymous Person That’s exactly what I’m looking for too but I think it could definitely be done
Fuck no, I don't even think the mx150 would fit
how does this stack up against the slate go (US$450ish) running windows (with windows emulation/software/games - and a sega controller with usb connector)? considering I'm not interested in paying twice as much for native control buttons (which means that when they break the whole thing needs a fix/refurb/replace)
Can the 6 inch screen still fit into your pocket? Does it feels heavy when playing?
*Yeah Baby, touch my joysticks*
At this point you'd think they'd be owned TunnelBear considering how long they've been sponsored by them. xD
I'm interested in the GPD 2 but I want to know if it will work with RPG Maker MV and the RPG Maker MZ (Which hasn't come out yet until AUG 20th 2020). or will it lag and/or freeze the GPD 2? or just wait till the newest model comes out?
Damn, this review was thorough, entertaining, and concise. Nice job!
You're never going to get expected performance in PCSX2. It's almost as bad as most N64 emulators.
No. This thing runs PCSX2 just fine. The original one ran almost every game in PCSX2 fine. This one is 200-300% more powerful.
Neopolitan I am saying the emulator is not well made, not talking about the hardware. Up until I believe two years ago, they couldn’t get the Ace Combat series running with proper collision detection, and those games still have trouble running in anything but software mode.
i was hoping you would talk about that fact that the bios has a lot of settings that you can change, including overclocking the CPU and GPU.
i don't think you deserve to have the Tech Tips name.
here is a more in depth review czcams.com/video/VGq9gSymxrE/video.html by The Phawx the video is 12:17 long
All of my yes
Would it be possible to cram a coffee lake cpu with the I tegrated and Vega apu on it but underclock them to reduce heat in a gdp win 3?
Linus : It's got an headphone jack.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Me : *_*confused confusion in french*_*
It's a job at Apple and their refusal to put the headphone jack back on iPhones
WOW! That is amazing! I NEED ITTTTTTTT!
I saw Doom installed.
Runs Doom so well!

dont think so, prob streamed with steam, no way an integrated intel chip can do better than an APU
The Phawx is a frequent user on the discord and users like him test out various games to test the capabilities. The Phawx, Deenox Don, and Mobimaniak3000 all got prototypes. It wasn't streamed and you can see all the FPS details in the video itself
Lassi Kinnunen it is, but the apus are still better than most integrated graphics from Intel.
what was that small brown colored 1tb external storage? where I may be able to buy it from?
Where can I find the tiny 1tb external drive ?
But can it do this????
yes it can bend
Only 399
Very nice
Itz_Ya_Boi Siq_Lad51 naha it's still young and even mkbhd used it!
Yes. Yes it can
2:28 Linus woah tips...
I reckon razer should do a Sony vaio mini pocket laptop that would be awesome
I request that you review the smach z
I LOOOOOOOVE BITCONNECT!!!
is this a meme already?
It's a windows 3DS version
Luis Except you may get your money's worth.
NathanBrutal and how old are you again
Real Funny Bears Honest truth my friend, steam sales etc. And you'll probably make your money back faster than a 3DS. Linus didn't give this device enough credit with its ability to play esports titles etc. On the go CSGO vs Mario which do you choose? As for age I'm however old you'd like to perceive me as. Because this is LinusTechTips that makes my age 12 I guess -(;
except a secondary screen
Abdul Muhaimin A better screen on this one and you don't have to bend your neck to look at one screen or sacrifice the ergonomics of your controls. Personally like one screen better.
Your amazon link is wrong, you say the second one and it links to the first one
Linus, please help me out. How come Rise of the Tomb Raider is slow on 6th gen core i3 processor with intel hd 520 graphics, while smooth on m3-7y30? I really don't understand and confused...
For a computer guy, you don’t seem really aware of how to maximize performance on lower powered hardware and what this thing can actually do. I guess that’s what happens if you play with $4000,- GPU’s on a daily basis...-
Lesley Harrys r/iamverysmart
Everen r/neckbeard
Timmy Turner how does that make any sense?
Linus isn't really a "computer guy" as much as he is a charismatic entrepreneurial marketer of "tech stuff"
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but he's no Louis Rossmann
You can only maximize performance on the expense of visual quality. That was not the goal. It is overpriced for its intended purpose and adequately priced for a pocket PC with Surface Pro specs.
I am actually really impressed with its specs probably more powerful than the switch
and how many times has linus Advertised for "Tunnel Bear"
Biotob it couldn’t handle gta sa xd, Nintendo Switch is getting dark souls on a constant 30fps xd , GPD Costa much more too
Toshimo, you're wrong, it can handle quite a lot of games and even GTA V at a playable framerate, (above 20)
Daniel Zucker lol u called 20 playable? Lol
jorec flores decent like how much? 60? Don't tell me 20 lol
At this price if it's not powerful than switch I will laugh lol
Can it play ps4 games and obviously I know it doesn't have a disc insert, but is there a website where you can sign into pen and download all your ps4 games, something like that.
I would love to see the "Trackpad" technology from Blackberry into this GPD Keyboard. That would be awesome!
use the USB C for an external gpu!
Brandon M has to be lightning supported. But even if it was, a cpu with that low wattage is not going to do well with an eGPU
USB-C is only USB 3.0 on this device and as such can only do 5gbps ... not fast enough for egpu and to be honest absolutely pointless in this form factor
Only if it has Thunderbolt 3...
You mean Thunderbolt 3.... Lightning is a different cable.
Tylo
"lightning supported", this isn't Apple.
can it run tunnel bear ?
Rayu Fullbuster with an internal resolution of 1x1 at around 1 frame per decade. Roughly
We're on NordVPN now.
screen hinge looks flimsy can it hold up if someone bumps into you or you run into something while gaming prob not lol.
Also, can you do some review like how it will do if you do on-the-go stuff with it? I assume Office will work pretty good on it and maybe even some CAD software can run on it.
