Next in our GPD WIN MAX 2 review, some gameplay tests! For these we are running at a balanced 28W TDP at 800P with playable or as close to playable settings as we can. Forza Horizon 5 On the recently released Metal Hellsinger we are running on the Medium graphics settings and are hovering around the 60 frames per second area. There were some occasional dips but nothing that affected the gameplay. Lower settings help keep it stable, or you can limit to 30 and crank the graphics up higher. Emulator Tests In our temperatures, fan noise and battery tests we are running Street Fighter 6 on a loop to get the required measurements. We got a highest temperature of 62 degrees and 62 decibels of fan noise under full load. The battery lasted just over 2 hours which is a nice improvement on the 1 hour 45 on the Ryzen 7 model. And while idle on the desktop it managed just under 9 hours, a little longer than the Ryzen 7 model. The fewer cores and threads probably help there. Benchmarks The GPD WIN MAX 2 gaming ultrabook features the latest in processor technology AMD models available.

The GPD WIN MAX 2 measures 8.9 x 6.2 x 0.9 inches (22.7 × 16.0 × 2.3 cm) when folded and weighs 1005 grams making this an extremely portable handheld gaming PC, easily fitting into a laptop style bag or case. Ughhh the device can be a bit frustrating. The build quality is not great (I have wonky loose power button), the keyboard sometimes has a mind of its own but gets the job done and the most annoying thing of all is the fact that the controller if the device sleeps, doesn’t wake with it. This results in either having to constantly hibernate the device and or restart it each time you want to play. Detach the spacebar keycap (find tutorial on YT for laptop keyboards in general, the principle is the same) - be very careful!
