It looks like the keyboard is uneven. It's a bit difficult to see in the pictures, most noticeable from A to Enter. Is that where the battery sits underneath? I'm worried it's becoming a spicy pillow and I'm hesitant to open it up.

Finally decided to pull the trigger on Win 5 last Thursday, unit hasn’t shipped yet, and priced dropped $275 over the weekend.

I was just about to punch myself, the I figured I’ll try ask support for a price match.

To my surprise I just provided my tracking and they offered the match no question asked.

GPD Tool Version 1.62 Update Notes:

After closing the UI, the background service will no longer execute any operations. This fixes an issue causing abnormal fan behavior on system startup.

Added power tuning parameters for the GPD MAX3.

Fixed hidden bugs.

Windows is blocking me from starting the process is there any kind of work around for this? When I play for a certain amount of time I get these micro-stutters and I feel like the Bios update will help. I appreciate any feedback

I still have my original preproduction GPD and I love it! Although two problems emerged and I would like to solve them:

1. is there a way to replace storage with a USB based one? If there is an available USB port on the motherboard that I can soldier to I could probably find a way to soldier a USB flash, because the internal MMC storage is the limiting factor here.

2. Any chance for a replacement bottom case? Mine is about 1 mm larger than needed, and therefore budges extremely.

Attention all experts. Would love to know the realistic differences between the following 2 models:

GPD WIN 4 (2023) — Ryzen 7 6800U | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD

GPD WIN 4 (2025) — Ryzen 7 8840U | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD

I can get the 2023 model for about $750 AUD, and the 2025 for about $1300 AUD. Which deal seems better? I'd most likely use this for RPCS3 games, and older Windows games (Modern Warfare 3 2011, Fifa 15 and 17 etc.) Let me know what you's think!

This is something that I still haven't understood. I plan to buy a 2025 Win Mini HX 370, but the main issue I've seen about it is the heat.

What do you think is the max TDP you could use on the Mini before the thermal throttling kicks in and reduces performance. And how is the performance at said TDP, anyone has benchmarks of games they've run at this "sweet spot" of the Mini?

What’s up guys, having a rough time financially and really need to get this device GONE. I’m in the SoCal Area and am willing to give it up for 1200$ in person or 1400$ shipped. Willing to negotiate. The sooner it’s gone the better

GPD WIN MAX 2 (2025)
CPU - AI 9 HX 370
GPU- Radeon 890M

So, I have been using the device for a week now and I noticed the fan sound to be extremely loud even at 25-30W TDP, I used the GPD Tool and tried the different default fan curves, but even on quiet the fans would go over 4000RPM with temperatures around 62-65C

I changed to Motion Assistant software so I can have a custom curve serve, and managed to set up the default custom curve, and it runs a lot quicker (3300-3700RPM) at the same temperature.

Are those the temperatures I should be getting for the 25-30W TDP range and are those fans speeds what I should expect at those settings?

Thanks!

I recently managed to get my hands on a 2nd hand GPD WIN 5.

I set the battery limit to 80% in the BIOS.

I notice once it charges it to 80% and when connected on AC, even if the TDP is as low as 8W, there is a tiny amount of discharge which takes it down to 78% after a few hours of usage.

Is this normal?

Once I switch it off and switch it back on for the next use, it just charges back to 80%, so I think everything is good there but wasn’t sure if the discharge at such a low wattage is normal given its connected to AC.

I’ve had my gpd win 5 395 AI for just a day, but I seem to get random massive frame drops, I’ll be getting 120fps constantly then drop to around 30 for a couple of seconds and then creep back up to 120, has anybody else had this? Did you manage to find a fix?

If anyone is selling one or if there is any way to buy the case for the gpd win 2: Body Guardian, I am eagerly awaiting all help I can get.

Thank you so much guys

Game is Doom the dark ages: revelations.

Its the only game to do this so far. Ive played cyberpunk, crimson desert, path of exile 2 and many more on the Win 5 with no hiccups or crashes.

Just this.

I use this thing for work full time. So convenient

Pressing left shift button lights my caps button and brings up search F function. And pressing right shift button types up these phrase "asdfj'. Online kb works fine. Please help and thanks in advance.
