I just looked at the length cause I figured he made it a short video with how fast he was talking ... Damn this would actually be 50mins at regular speed lmao
I have a GPD win mini and everytime I use it I get amazed by the performance from the 7840U and the overall quality of the GPD engineering and manufacturing. Hoping to get a refreshed G1 till the end of the year, hopefully.
Great review. I freakin' love my GPD WinMax2 7840u. It's my daily driver with the G1 and I don't feel like I need anything else. Will skip this generation and wait for the next update. I hope GPD never stops making this form factor!
@@Zenden1ST Yes, I have. At 1080p it handles pretty much everything you throw at it, even using only 15w TDP. I have played GTA V, Forza Horizon 5, Black Desert Online at 1080p/ultra, some Wii U emulation with 1080p/60fps mods (such as breath of the wild, Mario Kart 8) and all these games play at 50 fps+ at 15w. For more heavy games such as Read Dead Redemption 2 I found you got to lower the resolution to 720p for it to run well, but you don't really notice the smaller resolution in such a small 7 inch screen. If you plan to player at higher resolutions (1440p/4k) using the oculink or an HDMI adapter then you'll have to acquire the GPD g1 or make your own oculink setup.
Win Max 2 is by far my favourite device. I use it because I travel for work and it lets me do everything I need (game and productivity, and watch stuff!). If the Max 3 just has minor tweaks and updates, I am happy. But the Max 2 is perfectly designed.
This was amazing. Such clarity and depth on the performance analysis. Thank you very much for sharing. So essentially 8840u is pretty much almost the same as 7840u as expected. I had my hopes up when I saw the performance per watt being higher but if total system draw is also higher then it doesn't make much of a difference. 5% more at the highest tdps isn't anything to write home about.
I agree. Win Max 2 is my favourite device of all time. Perfect for work and play, the perfect hybrid device. They just need a few tweaks for the 3 and then the 9000 series will hopefully be a bigger jump. Day one buy for me, as long as they don't change it too much from the Max 2.
This is 7% a bit wrong… Battery cells even tho they report the same amount of voltage nor wattage the actual nod is different all the times. Batteries aren’t build equally and they have about 10% margin error before leaving QC from the factory. Which means batteries range 10% margin power when sold. You also have to consider the ASSIC of each system, and not just for the APU but for practically every chip found in the SOC. Even vram are build at a different ASSIC. Let’s talk about IPS screens and windows random background processes, at what time do they activate and for how long. IPS backlight LEDs are as well not rated at a perfect power consumption; this problem gets worst when you add hundreds of them all together then the power consumption of an IPS screen can vary to up to 30%. Windows background processes timing vary a lot, extremely a lot. Windows is unpredictable. The end result is that the 88xx vs 78xx are just equal and it’s just a rebrand, like always. Topically intel ticktock.
I love my Max 1 (2020) as a functional laptop and all-purpose gaming portable device. But it took me a long time getting used to its heavy weight as a (borderline) handheld. I passed on the Max 2 for being even larger, and because Max 1 still can run everything.
i ordered Max 1 on eBay. after waiting for the Mini and thinking i wanted something a lil bigger that i could truly use as a laptop too. the Max 2 is too big b
Coming from both the Max 1 and the Max 2 (6800U from 2022) I can say the size of the device itself isn't a ... huge factor. What I'm saying is it isn't cumbersome. The bigger screen is fantastic and from a performance perspective there are a few emulated games on RPCS3, Xenia, and Yuzu that run better on the Max 2 vs. Max 1. And I'm speaking of the Max 1 upgraded to run the 4500U when GPD sold an upgrade board.
I had the win 1 and didn’t like it that much because it was in that moment something like a prototype , the build wasn’t that good. And last year I bought the mini….hmmm was a good and comfortable little machine, but I decided to buy a Legion go ,so I sold the mini. Now I just purchased the win max 2 and I’m going to sell the legion go I guess.
A bit confused with the mentioned issue with cpu power with eGPU attached. How is this okay as a desktop replacement if the cpu has to be capped at 3.3ghz? Is this something that Gpd can fix? If not then it's definitely a deal breaker.
You do the best benchmarking analysis in the business! Did GPD also send you a G1 v2? I'm interested to see the noise and performance of the 60W profile. And then there's Oculink vs USB4 and external display vs laptop display. Could make for a good video!
Thanks for the review,really appreciate it. Would it be possible to do a productivity review on this? For example battery life while surfing the net dealing with office programmes, such as teams word Excel etc. Really interested in getting one of these so I can finally keep to one device. Right now I have a surface tablet for work, desktop for gaming. Android tablet for gaming/surfing and other stuff. Really want to get rid of all the clutter and put it all in one and I'm hoping this is the device for the job.
I'm confused, is this not up for preorder yet? The indigogo link is selling the 7840U, not the 8840U. Is this a typo on their part or is the 8840U not on the site yet?
hey man, thanks for the review, is it possible to put additional ssd and boot separate os? like win + linux, but being physically separated over different ssds?
The only person who would buy this AMD 884OU PGD WIN MAX 2 , is for their Children. I do love what you do for the community, you help consumers decide, which deal is better. YES i dropped a LIKE on your video.
Think you can do an optimization video about how you set your winmax 2 with the G1 using occulink? In particular smart shift, tdp setting in motion controls, third party software (like handheld companion), and lastly AMD adrenaline settings? TYIA
Wouldve loved to see charts based on matching the total system wattage rather than TDP to see if there’s any real appreciable difference. From what you explained, it seems like you could just bump up your 7840U TDP by 10% and, hey presto, you have an 8840U.
Haven't they added a higher refresh rate yet? 😢💔 I've been very hyped this year for a potential Max 3 to come out in 2024, so I got excited with your video. But they missed the only thing I needed 😔
Amazing video. You should make yourself smaller in the results sections. The data is small and hard to see. If you need to be on screen maybe put yourself in a smaller box like a streamer would.
U should revisit the deck with the benchmarks using the oled, I’ve seen many of instance where the deck out performs the z1 extreme in like for like situations using 15watt.
Honestly the Win Max 2 is so perfectly designed. It is legit the best hybrid device. I want the Max 3 to just fix a few things, but if it stays similar to the Max 2, we are good. Max 3 improvement could be softer face buttons (Vita dpad is perfect but the ABXY is a bit rough), the webcam placement if they could move it to the top instead, and then that's pretty much it. I love everything about it. I have the 6800U version, so I will wait to upgrade to the 9000 series since the 8000 series isnt too much of an upgrade from the 7000 series.
Why GPD devices don't have small and precise trackpoints like Thinkpads? You could use those to play rts games, shooters, and just navigate the system without using tiny tracpad that doesn't work in games.
You could have simply showed the total system power draw with each tdp/fps slide for better understanding and spared us the long nuanced explanation. Then you can average down the 8840U numbers to match at a theoretical equal power footing. In any case in short it seems the performance gains are not much over the 7840u as to be expected.
While I know you probably can’t afford to do what LTT is doing but do you believe the binning could be at play for some of the TDP/clock variances? Referring to their multi-7000 series benchmarking they’re doing.
Unlikely, Gamers Nexus did a video in regard to sample sizes, and found that there wasn't significant deviation for Intel or AMD CPUs in regards to stock settings.
@@reaperreaper5098 if I’m thinking of the same video they had 2 or 3 Legion GO right? LTT did a larger sample size of like 10 I believe. But mobile CPUs may have better binning processes or not being pushed to fringe operating conditions like a desktop CPU may.
@@Zaf9670 No, I'm talking about when Gamers Nexus tested like 30 CPUs, multiples of only a handful of skus from Intel and AMD. GN also is substantially better at testing stuff, since they actually know how to do deep dive testing.
@@reaperreaper5098 I agree GN is great about deep dives but LTT has been dumping money into their process as well. The margin of error had more sway with LTT so I’ll have to see the GN to compare again. There were variances per application even suggesting some execution units performed better/worse across SKUs which will be even more important as architecture moves forward (NPU 1 did 5% better than NPU 5 but AVX-512 on 1 was 7% better or something as an example). The margin of error and overall performance is fine but when you’re talking razor thin margins on mobile the 5% could be an hour of extra battery or less heat.
@@Zaf9670 It’s not a matter of how much money each company dumps in. It’s a matter of how thorough the employees are, and both GN and LTT have perfectly demonstrated that LTT doesn’t have the experience to properly test hardware nor do they actually care.
Something rather bizarre is going on. I'm missing all your videos from showing in my feed for more than the last month. I always stop by and give at least a thumbs up.
you have the option to get an oculink adapter for the 2230 slot if you really want oculink and don't really want to upgrade. I have to say that having oculink on the back is a bit more convenient than having it on the bottom...it's kind of awkward to use it in handheld mode with an oculink cable sticking out from the bottom
I wished they offered a board swap. I think they did that with the GPD Win Intel portable a while back from 10th gen to 11th gen. This seems like it can totally do that again as a 7840U owner (and technically a 6800U owner, but that one can't do it since it didn't have an occulink cut-out).
As cool as that transition from thumbnail to video is that is freaky as hell.. Never seen a transition like that so its kind of like if a painting on your wall started moving and talking to you
I would love to know how you are driving that 4090. I am looking for the same kind of setup. I can't find an oculink dock that will support the power of that card.
Does anyone know where I can buy replacement thumbsticks for the Max 2? My right stick is not registering the Y-Axis at all and I'd like to try replacing it. I just can't find anything online about what part to order and GPD hasn't gotten back to me.
So I’m kinda in decision paralysis rn. I ordered the win4 7840u and got notified I can either have the 7840 version shipped rn or wait and get the 8840 when production starts on those and I can’t decide if it’s really worth the wait
Performance wise, comparing this to an macbook air m3 16gb unified ram (8cpu/10gpu) would the 8840u be a better performer in general computing and gaming tasks?
I would really like to see what it takes for minecraft to bog this down. How high of a render and simulation distance. How big of a world file. How many entities in simulation distance. Ignite a tnt world download.
Hey Im very curious about this laptop/Handheld. Im a gamer,i play PlayStation 5 and the game i play most is call of duty modern warfare 3,im about to sell my PS5 because i want something small,for work but u want something that i can play as well.

Mr.Phawx, is there any chance you would make a video on your current setup? The win max 2 with 4090 via oculink sounds like a dream setup to me haha
The oculink will not handle the bandwidth well
Not worth your money. Both the CPU and oculink will bottleneck the GPU

At 10 watts yes but at 15 it's more game to game mostly with z1 winning from 2-10%.
So other than the CPU nothing really has change? Only asking because I legit just bought the 2023 version last week 😅
Totally stick with the 7840u, has the occulink port. VRR is overrated.

4090 is way overkill for that gpu. Just get 4060 or something
Does the 7840u numbers will reflect to the Z1 Extreme?
Does anyone know where I can buy replacement thumbsticks for the Max 2? My right stick is not registering the Y-Axis at all and I'd like to try replacing it. I just can't find anything online about what part to order and GPD hasn't gotten back to me.
the link only shows 7840u gpd win max 2 options in the buying list
Its still 60hz like last year model? have vrr??
It has vrr
So I’m kinda in decision paralysis rn. I ordered the win4 7840u and got notified I can either have the 7840 version shipped rn or wait and get the 8840 when production starts on those and I can’t decide if it’s really worth the wait
Where did you order from? indiegogo or a different vendor?
Indiegogo, I went with the 64gm ram 4tb model so it was either 7840u model shipped next weekish or 8840u model shipped end of April
Performance wise, comparing this to an macbook air m3 16gb unified ram (8cpu/10gpu) would the 8840u be a better performer in general computing and gaming tasks?
Can we get a video comparing the GPD handheld with a 7600/7700 with a dedicated gpu?
this feels more of a 8840u review than a gpd win max 2 review
I would really like to see what it takes for minecraft to bog this down. How high of a render and simulation distance. How big of a world file. How many entities in simulation distance. Ignite a tnt world download.
Wish the stick placement were the same as the steam deck
what the Phawx are you talking about? Stop Phawxing around!!
Hi ! I'm about to buy an all in one and I would like to see which one you would recommend: Gpd win Max 2 8840u or onexplayer x1 10.9 8840u???
Now I gotta sell all my 7840u devices. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😅
These videos have a stellar presentation and are super informative. Thanks for your work!
Glad you like them!
@0:24 reminding me of Gwen Tennyson “The butter has definitely slipped off your noodle”😅.
Is the 8840u worth upgrading from a 6800u how much more performance will I gain
Not a fan of that form factor personally, but for that form factor, it's exceptionally well done.
Would you please do some benchmarks with some common local LLMs?
Hey
Im very curious about this laptop/Handheld.
Im a gamer,i play PlayStation 5 and the game i play most is call of duty modern warfare 3,im about to sell my PS5 because i want something small,for work but u want something that i can play as well.
I love everything about GPD win max 2. I noticed on their website that the version of 2024 comes with AMD Ryzen 7 8840U but the version i only can find online is the ryzen 7840u(i cant understand why)
Basically i just like to know if you recommend this laptop to me.
Amazing video btw 🙏👍
