GPD WIN Mini 2025 Handheld Game Console, 7" Touchscreen Gaming PC Mini Laptop Gamepad UMPC Win11 [AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 32GB RAM/2TB M.2 NVMe SSD]

Amazing device. I saw another review complaining about fan noise, but you can lower the wattage down to 12-15 watts and still play most AAA titles with low fan noise. Just need to know the device and lower the settings, but some people don't know how to read I guess.

The GPD Win Mini is an excellent gaming handheld that works surprisingly well with Linux (CachyOS Handheld edition). Linux gaming performance and UX is way better than Windows, so I'd highly recommend loading Linux once you get this device (CachyOS if you care about performance, or Bazzite if you're new to Linux and just want a Steam Deck-like experience). With Linux, you also get a Steam Deck-like instant suspend/resume support, and the performance is phenomenal if you use CachyOS's znver4 optimisations. The overall form factor isn't very ergonomic to be honest, but in my case it works well because I use the Win Mini mostly when I'm lying in my bed or on the couch, and I have it propped up on my chest using the bottom half, and the screen is at just the perfect height. I haven't attached any grips to mine, because I like the portability and pocketability without them. The full-fledged physical keyboard comes in handy for many games such as Age of Empires, or games with less-than-ideal controller support like Last Epoch, or when you're messing around the OS and you need a proper keyboard. The 144Hz screen is gorgeous (same panel as the ROG Ally), and the VRR is nice too. The VRR only kicks in from 44Hz, but you can increase this range using CRU, export the EDID file and use a kernel parameter to load it at boot (if you're on Linux). So far, I've played Forza Horizon 5, Last Epoch, GTA V, Skyrim and Diablo IV, and it's handled every single one of them at 60+ FPS, without any issues on Linux. The controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller, so it works natively in most games even without Steam Input. My only complaint with the GPD Win Mini is that the fan is a bit noisy and makes a high-pitched, almost whistling kinda noise (maybe because it's forcefully pumping air thru those tiny vents), but you could ignore this if you're listening to game audio from the speakers, or you've got your headphones on. This is one area that GPD could improve in the next model. Oh, and upgradable LPCAMM2 memory would be nice to have too! Overall, I'd highly recommend this over other handhelds because of the keyboard, performance and excellent Linux compatibility.

Would absolutely buy from them again, my package took a bit to arrive and I was getting anxious about it being stolen while I was at work but it finally arrived. Everything was in the package, the package itself was sealed too, I was half expecting to get the wrong order. I checked everything, it was charged, sticks worked, keyboard worked, shoulder and trigger buttons worked, and no cosmetic damage was visible on the mini laptop at all. Overall I was happy with the device and how the seller packaged it carefully so it wouldn't get damaged on the way here. This thing is amazing, don't get me wrong the Steam Deck is always being optimized to play majority of the Steam Games library but it's nice to be able to do everything on just the base windows operating system like YouTube, being able to browse, downloading games that you normally can't on a steam deck without pulling some strings or having to boot something else and just jump through loopholes to get something to work, I'd say buying the GPD WIN Mini was a very worth while purchase. If there were another device being sold by this seller better than the GPD WIN Mini, I'd definitely buy from them again.

Other than idling, this thing is so loud. Playing games it's like a jet taking off, but even typical web browsing and everyone in the room is asking what is that noise. Simply obnoxious.

The GPD Win Mini 2024 that was delivered was obviously an open box item. The tape on the packaging was cut. There were fingerprints on the unit with out any protective film over the screen. And, the SSD was not present. Someone obviously took the SSD out and returned the item. I was then sold that item under the pretense it was new. It obviously was not. Buyer beware. It will be returned.
