TheGPD Win Max is aWindows-basedpalmtop computer manufactured by Gamepad Digital (GPD). It is the successor to theGPD Win 2, and wascrowdfunded, like its predecessor. The GPD Win Max is rated to runAAA video game titles andemulate consoles from thesixth generation and earlier, with some support for consoles up to theeighth generation.[1]
Following theGPD Win 2 in 2018,[2] and the largerGPD Pocket 2 in 2019,[3] GPD announced their largest device yet as the GPD Win Max. This device is the size of aNetbook, and retains GPD's signature embedded controller. The Win Max was leaked and received media coverage as early as April 2019,[4] with conclusive coverage coming in April, 2020.[5][6]
Announced in the first quarter of 2020,[7] the crowdfunding campaign was launched onIndiegogo on May 18, 2020, priced at $779.[8] The campaign concluded on July 1, 2020 with more than 3,500 backers having contributed more than $2.8 million dollars in total.[9] Its price also rose from $779 to $800.[9]
With the Win Max being GPD's largest gaming device as of release, there was room for additions such ascissor switch keyboard which would supporttouch typing, similar to what is available on theirGPD Pocket Range, as well as atouchpad, and an 8" screen. This unit also introduces GPD's first instance of clickableanalog sticks, one of which has been moved inside the ABXY buttons, as well as buttons with a very similar style to thePlayStation Vita (with a layout and markings similar to theXbox). The Win Max speakers have been moved underneath the unit towards the user. Access to theM.2 drive has been reduced, as the unit must be disassembled to change this drive. Anethernet port has been added to the right side of the device, which would prevent a user from effectively holding the console while this port is in use.
This increase in size has also allowed an increase incooling potential of the Max with dual fans andHeat pipes.
Otherwise, the Win Max maintains a similar design to previous units with a milledmagnesium aluminum alloy chassis and anABS plastic shell. With the far side of the device providing access to twoUSB-A ports, four shoulder buttons, aUSB-C port as well as aThunderbolt 3 port, and a small reset button. The back panel also includes another change: the win series' first full-sizeHDMI port.
