    I loved my win 2 before I sold it. This thing looks like such a beast compared to the win 2 too! I’d recommend one of these. I love the 3DS clamshell form factor over the steam deck’s switch style form factor.

    This is the device I’ve been waiting for GPD to make, I never thought they could compete with the steam deck so I was annoyed they were going after that style of device

    Explain to me the appeal…it’s a mini laptop that has game controls built into it? So you can play controller fighting games like Dragonball, but can also play keyboard-mouse games, like Dwarf Fortress?

      It’s a small gaming device that also doubles as a tiny laptop. The specs and price are really good for its form factor. Even though the handheld market is getting way bigger with things like the Steam Deck, the vast majority of them are way bigger while this looks like it could be carried around very easily. Honestly if I had the money for it, I would totally buy this thing.
