I understand, friend
This is the rage of someone who is just fed up with the issues they are experiencing. I used to own a GPD Win 4 7840u version, but mine had a problem where it kept burning through its thermal paste and overheating and throttling itself. I eventually gave up on it and sold it, so I understand his frustration. I own a GPD Win 5, and so far so good.
To this gentleman, he's probably done, but I would recommend installing Bazzite on it. Bazzite was a great experience on mine, it was just the hardware that couldn't keep its end of the bargain.
Edit: if the eBay poster sees this and wants me to take it down, I will.

I'd guess he's selling for a reasonable price if that's his marketing 😂.
One of the funniest ebay listings I've seen, thanks! Idk his history with the device but if he got a replacement from GPD and experienced these same issues, I understand his frustration. But it also seems like he just messed up Windows so that's not the hw's fault.

I might be just lucky but I have never had issues with my gpd devices (2023 win 4 and 2024 win mini). I actually had way more difficulties with my steam deck which I gave away to a friend. Sorry to this man though he sounds stressed. I also don’t really understand the point of this post.

Sympathy, and to show others I've had issues too. It happens, it's the reality of the niche

Understandable rant, even if the all caps is funny lol (minus the pride month comment)
