Technically, the GPD WIN 4 2024 is equipped with the new #AMD Ryzen 7 8840U CPU, known for its robust performance in mobile processing. It features a dual refresh rate 6” H-IPS touchscreen display that supports both 40Hz and 60Hz, allowing users to optimize either battery life or visual performance. Another significant inclusion is the OcuLink port, which enhances its capability by allowing connections to external GPUs, thereby elevating the #handheld gaming performance and versatility beyond typical handhelds.

iv got the white win4 2023 edition capped at 7.5t tdp and getting 5 hours playing psx game emulation, if i didn't have the 23 one id be buying this one it is feeling a little soon for them to be bringing out the refresh as its the 3rd one for the win4. Overall I am very happy with my win4 and it has been my go to device for the work day transit and sneaky gaming when the office is quiet!!!
Yeah 5W for PS1 is awesome, also the same for a lot of lower demanding games. The 2024 model does have better battery life at higher TDP but I think at 5W it would be roughly the same. We will do low TDP battery life tests in our round up of best handhelds video in a few months time.
I'd love to see valve release a steam deck lite that is about this size, I've always wanted one but this just too expensive.
My favorite handheld 😊
Great Review, do you know which one have better performance between 7840u gpd win 4 model or the One x Fly 7840u, I'm seeking to buy one of those even the 8840u but it is a bit more expensive
Check our ONEXFLY review at czcams.com/video/bvAauBxNa4Q/video.html it includes benchmarks comparing it to the Win 4 7840U model.
If you have Gamepass, can you test Madden 24 on this? I think I get slowdowns on my Ally due to the lack of RAM. Curious to see if 32GB and the new APU makes a difference.
Madden requires 10gb ram on the cpu side and 4 gb on the gpu side. The allys has 16gb and it splits it so there's 8gb for gpu and 8gb for cpu. So 32gb would be enough
Awesome, thanks for the good unboxing and testing (would have liked to see Cyberpunk 2077), been waiting for something like the GPD Win 4 (2024) to upgrade from my Ayaneo 2 (AMD 6800u) . I really want the Oculink for my GPD G1 which doesn't work reliably with the Ayaneo 2 but I also want the additional A.I. processing as there are rumors that Microsoft will be adding built in upscaling to windows that utilize the NPU processor. Can't wait.
We have the black models in stock, only a few left until the next batch arrives. UK - go.droix.co.uk/UFofIp & Worldwide - go.droix.co.uk/VGO7sB OcuLink works very well with the 2024 model, some of the best scores we have seen so far!
It seems that it gives better FSR performance, but after spending 1800 at Droix for the 2023 version and the G1, I think I’ll hold off. Unless Droix will do a good trade in deal 😉
The 2023 is still a solid performer. Whilst we currently don't have a buy-back scheme, it is something we might look into in the future.
Nice. Whatever happened to the Steam OS for this that was promised some time ago? Is that dead in the water?
You can find them on their website, its on the "GPD OS Firmware" tab on the specific devices Download page. For example this is for the Win 4 2023 & 2024 www.gpd.hk/gpdwin42023firmwaredriver
You know, the steam deck screen is already small enough, in my opinion, I think I might try one of those tablet PCs coming out.
We should have the Minisforum V3 tablet soon for review. We can't wait to check that one out!
Which gaming tablets are coming out?
Can this be used as a PC if connected to a lapdock in a pinch?... I solely work on Samsung dex via a lapdock... rarely needing Windows... so if needed, can I use this?
If the lapdock has USB or HDMI input then you could use it like a portable monitor. I think these monitors only work wirelessly with Dex though?
@DroiX_Store actually they have HDMI input and wireless (for Dex)... might bite the bullet and get one for gaming and "lite" PC usage when needed... thnks alot for your kind reply...
@@ASB1401 If it has HDMI then you can use USB-C to HDMI from one of our hubs of docks at droix.net/product-category/accessories/
Nice review. The only thing holding me back is 60hz. We need 120 at this price
You may be interested in the GPD WIN Mini 2024 which has VRR and 120Hz. czcams.com/video/l7VrnGGMYkI/video.html
At 6 tflops, Xbox One X, GPD Win 4 at 8.9 tflops, and PS5 at 10 tflops, wonder how the GPD compares
Have they finally put hall effect joy sticks on it?
Nope. Still alps 3d but there are hall effect sticks (apparrently the rog ally / win 4 are the same in terms of the replacement thats for sale)
Lend me it bro !
The BIOS update changes everything. IPU is enabled.
What is IPU?
Heard to not update bios unless you have issues..
Is it possible for someone to swap the 7840u with the 8840 motherboard instead of buying a new device?
We haven't had the time to do a teardown of the 2024 model. But I have a feeling that it could be possible.
@@DroiX_Store have you been able to confirm this?
@@Rashimotosan We haven't had any time to check this, sorry. It means we have to disassemble both models which can take some time.
Im wondering about your 2 year warranty.. ? 1200 dollar cart needs some reassuring lol
All GPD products we sell have a two year warranty. If there are any issues then we deal with it, return to us for repair or replacement as needed.
Nice idea to list display specs in overview (not)
It is the fastest 8840u device for its size it's even better than the win mini which got a restricted tdp on the 8840u because of the poor cooling so the win 4 is definitely the best choice
Yeah the Win 4 24 is the best option in terms of performance. We still have the MAX 2 24 to test which I think might be the fastest or as good as the Win 4.
It looks just like a PSP.
If Sony was to make a new (proper) gaming handheld, it would be this :)
That's the point
@DroiX_Store instead, they making a handheld that requires PS5 and really good internet
need hall sticks
Can this run Steam and get all my Android games?
You can run any Windows software just like a desktop, laptop etc PC. You can run compatible Android through googles new " Google Play Games" software as well, details at play.google.com/googleplaygames
@@DroiX_Store is this the same for the WIN mini. Thank you for the reply
@@WitchDoctor87 Yeah its the same for all of these, as long as they run Windows you can run any software like a desktop PC. But please do check performance compatibility with games. For example you wont be playing the latest AAA game at Ultra graphics quality.
The big problem it's the screen size and HZ ...
No Vrr and No 120Hz ...
Battery life costs something. Even if there was 120Hz - it can barely use it in indie and oldest games hitting around 120 fps. If you wish to use it with G1 you will probably use monitor better than native screen anyway. And the screen size... It's just 1 inch away of giant ahh steam deck which is not pocketable in the way GPD WIN 4 is.
I wish there was an OLED screen tho!
OLED 90hz is better than IPS 120hz.
Such a child,...no vrr no this no that.
I don't mind the lack of 120hz but VRR would have incredible. VRR is a game changer for underpowered devices that can't hit 60 fps consistently. Hopefully the 40hz mode will be an ok compromise.
You're a baby 😂
looks like the sony psp
Nice device but the screen size 🤦🏼 too small
размер как у телефона,так как все им часто пользуются то все будет нормально- если сравнить все с геймплеем каких либо игр в ютубе и сопоставить все с gpd win 4 то...
Its just a rebranding with an AI feature that will improve a limited set if games with a few extra FPS nothing more nothing less.
I would be surprised if any games take advantage of the AI features but we will see. There's some nice performance increases in some games and emulators but yes it wont be for every game due to the same 780M GPU.
Maybe a new fsr with ai
8840u +\- =7840u
As mentioned in the review, there are improvements in some games as you can see from the benchmarks. But if a game is GPU hungry then you are not going to see a big difference, its the same GPU as 7xxx series. You will see improved eGPU performance over the 7xxx series though
Damn...63db is LOUD.
This is around the lower average end of the fan noise on handhelds. There are other handhelds at around 67 dB and even as high as 74.
The CPU is as fast as a ryzen 7 5800X3D lol. Next gen will be faster than a 14900ks.
