Your reviews feel right at home man. Does not have much annoying eye-candy animations nor voice modifications and just go straight to the point. Whenever i want to watch a review for a prospective gadget i always look up if you have an existing review video first. Keep it up!

I have the GPD Win 1 and was thinking about picking up another mini PC from GPD. At first I was thinking about getting the Win 2, but after watching a few reviews of this, I am totally in love. I absolutely must have this PC.

[markcruzjr.]

Damn this is freaking PERFECTION! Exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!

6 hours of battery life and an onboard NIC? Sign me up! This is the ideal device for when I need to take a trip to a data center for a few hours to work on servers, routers, or switches. Most data centers offer keyboards, mice, and monitors for their clients so I can easily turn this into a full PC experience without needing anything except a power and network cable for those times a "quick trip" turns into a 2+ hour troubleshooting session.

May 2019 - now all shipping are equipped with 8GB Ram.

[lamardoss]

Was looking forward to this. 😎 👍🏼

There are places that won’t allow anything with a camera past security. So no camera on it is a good thing.

[SaneGhoul]

This is pretty cool, really nice for people doing stuff in rougher jobs. Makes sense that the screen is non-touch and that the fan can be stopped. You'd likely get a lot of dust and whatnot screwing things up otherwise.

[DanafoxyVixen]

Having RS232 on such a small machine is pretty handy

[desertstriker]

Backed one today after I saw the ram upgrade from 4GB to 6GB :)

[wakaneut]

The serial connector, Gigabit ethernet, many usb3.0. This is good for IT engineers in data center.

[willstaffan]

That serial port is a HUGE deal! I've been looking for a machine like this for a while

[markcruzjr.]

ABSOLUTELY a plus for no cameras for an aspiring ethical hacker like myself ;)

[Lastcastor]

These mini laptops from GPD get more interesting as time goes by.

[amolochitis]

I like how you try to push it to the limits with the PC. Awesome!

Pretty impressive how the packed all that I/O in there!

[rwyatt]

I'm trying this to control a motorized astronomy mount for astrophotography. If it works I can have the telescope up on the roof and use team viewer to control it from any PC in the house, wirelessly. The screen on the little laptop makes it more convenient to configure and check on it than a screenless mini pc.

[therealfodder]

Looks great but I'm not a fan of how they've handled the hinge. I don't normally gripe over design that much but this reminds me of the Amstrad Emailer from 2000!

[devvynully]

I'd be interested to see how the fan on/off test works with both CPU and GPU maxed out.

[johnsmith-vzsk]

Nice unit especially for serial interface out in the field
