GPD announced their new GPD WIN Max over
in China. The company stated that the WIN Max is an all-in-one, full-featured
and the world’s smallest handheld gaming laptop. Placed on a desk, the GPD WIN
Max is indeed the world’s smallest gaming laptop; while if you hold it with
both hands, it basically becomes a handheld console. Thus it’s probably the
best device to bring around if you’re an avid gamer.
According to GPD, the WIN Max can run the
latest AAA games, even with full graphics, at 60 frames per second. Games will
then be displayed on an 8-inch H-IPS screen, with fifth-generation Corning
Gorilla glass external coating and a viewing area increased by 133%. The display
also has 90% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, DC dimming without flash screen and
500nits maximum brightness.
The WIN Max is powered by an Intel’s 10th
generation 10nm Core ™ i5-1035G7 processor; which surpasses the 4th generation
i7-4790K as far as performance is concerned. The CPU is then paired with an
11th-generation Iris Plus Graphics 940 core display; which according to GPD
will perform as good as an NVIDIA GeForce MX250.
