Handheld gaming PC with Ryzen 7 6800U, keyboard, and 6 inch sliding display
The GPD Win 4 is a portable gaming computer that features an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor, Radeon 680M graphics, a 6 inch full HD display, and a design that lets you slide the screen up to show a real keyboard for text input.
The new handheld was first revealed by GPD earlier this year, and the business is currently accepting pre-orders via an Indiegogo crowdsourcing project. The GPD Win 4 intends to start delivery to backers in March 2023, with prices starting at $800.
There is no Super Early Bird discount available on the beginning price. It is the going rate for a model with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM during the crowdfunding phase.
For an additional $100, PD also sells a 4G LTE module that plugs into the computer’s rear.
Each model includes a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and LPDDR5-6400 memory that is soldered to the mainboard (which may be user upgradeable). When you need more performance than the Radeon 680M integrated GPu can provide, you can use an external graphics dock thanks to a set of connectors that also includes a USB4 interface that supports 40 Gbps data transfer rates.
Additionally capable of charging and video output, that port.
The handheld device, according to GPD, includes a 6-axis gyroscope for motion controls, two vibration motors for rumble, linear analog triggers, and two actions buttons on the system’s back that may be mapped to perform user-customizable functions. Additionally, trigger keys have LED lights that let you program specific colors for lighting effects.
The GPD Win 3 had a capacitive touch keyboard area; in contrast, the GPD Win 4 features genuine dome-switch keys that respond to pressure with tactile feedback. Additionally, there is a backlight with adjustable brightness in the keyboard area.
The 6 inch display has a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and can support 60 Hz or 40 Hz refresh rates. According to GPD, the screen is naturally oriented for landscape viewing.
The majority of the company’s previous devices had displays that were natively portrait but were turned upside down. The issue is more common when trying to access the UEFI/BIOS settings or run some Linux distributions on those devices, though most of the time it isn’t a problem. However, some Windows apps and games might display at a 90 degree angle by default. Due to the natural landscape display of the Win 4, this shouldn’t be an issue.
A fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio socket, a microSD card reader, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 support, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and Type-A ports, and stereo speakers are among the additional features.
The add-on 4G LTE cellular modem is an option that is made to clip to the device’s back. A Win 4 docking station with an HDMI 2.1 port, Gigabit Ethernet port, and a few extra 10 Gbps USB ports will also be available as an extra from GPD.
