Features of the novelty

Recently, the world has been striving for compactness - reducing the size of everything - appliances, electronics, equipment, gadgets. World manufacturers of household goods are trying their best to reduce the size of their products. However, the power of devices often suffers from this. For some, though, it turns out great. Earlier, we talked about the South Korean FUNDIAN Team portable gaming keyboard controller, which combines a joystick, a QWERTY keyboard, a mouse, high-quality audio, a gamepad, and is fully compatible with iOS, Android , Fire TV, Mii Box and Shield TV. Among other things, it has the features Hands-free and Camera Selfie (you can read more about it here).

GPD Win 2 combines powerful "iron" and excellent "stuffing". What is it noticeable? The first is, of course, a screen designed by the legendary Sharp Corporation, whose diagonal is 6 inches, and viewing angles - 178°. It uses full In-Cell laminating technology and is covered by a generation 4 Corning Gorilla Glass. Its resolution is 1280 * 720 pixels, which is larger than a regular stationary 24-inch monitor is. In addition, this screen is a new touch screen.

The "brain center" of the device is the processor of the seventh generation Intel Kaby Lake Core m3-7Y30, which in its parameters approaches the recently announced Intel Core i7-3770K. Thanks to it, do not raise or slow down the latest games such as "Grand Theft Auto", "Call of Duty 4", "Warcraft", "FIFA18", "Resident Evil", "DOTA 2" and many others. The graphics processor is Intel HD Graphics 615, with a maximum dynamic frequency of 900 MHz Now the change of frames is smoother, and the transfer of the picture - has become much more realistic.

The amount of RAM increases to 8 GB, which significantly speeds up the download of video games.

Gamers can expand it by installing Micro SDXC cards. With the USB connector, you can also expand the space available to store even more games. The back of the mini-console has the following ports: Type C, Type A, micro HDMI, 3.5mm mini-jack headphone jack.

By the way, joysticks give vibration to your games for more realism. If you play racing, they will hum as the noise of a motor, if you shoot, you will feel the impact of weapons. This allows you to immerse yourself in the game as much as possible. To improve performance, the novelty also uses an active cooling system - one fan located at the rear end and the other at the bottom so that you cannot close the air supply to cool the system with your hands.

The material of the case is a magnesium alloy, which is not inferior to aluminum in weight, and even exceeds its strength. The black ABS removable cover can be replaced with another zinc alloy cover.
