GamePad Digital GPD Win 3 is a handheld gaming PC launched in 2021. Powered by Core i5-1135G7 (4-core, 4.2 GHz, 4.7 GHz), 16GB LPDDR4X RAM and Intel Iris Xe 80EU, Intel Iris Xe 96EU GPU. Features a 5.5" Touchscreen, H-IPS LCD display (1280 x 720, 16:9). 46 Wh battery and WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Microsoft Windows.

The GamePad Digital GPD Win 3 is a handheld gaming PC launched in 2021, built in a horizontal form factor with a sliding mechanism that reveals a keyboard beneath the screen. Inside is the Intel Core i5-1135G7 from the Tiger Lake-U generation, also offered with a Core i7-1165G7, featuring 4 cores, 8 threads and clocks from 900 MHz up to 4.2 GHz. Intel Iris Xe graphics run at 1.3 GHz, while 16 GB of LPDDR4X memory at 8532 MT/s leaves plenty of headroom for games and emulators. Cooling is handled by a heatpipe and fan.

As an x86-64 Windows machine, the Win 3 covers a huge range of platforms: from Atari 2600, NES, SNES and Mega Drive to PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, plus arcade through MAME and Final Burn Neo, MS-DOS and ScummVM. PSP, GameCube and Wii run at full speed, and PS2 is playable. More demanding systems such as Nintendo Switch, Wii U and PlayStation 3 appear on the list but sit beyond the stated full-speed limit.

The 5.5-inch H-IPS touchscreen offers 1280 x 720 resolution in 16:9, around 267 ppi, a 60 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass protection.

Controls include symmetric dual thumbsticks with L3/R3, a separated PS Vita-style D-pad, four face buttons, L1/R1 and analog L2/R2 triggers, two rear paddle buttons, rumble, an Xbox button and a switch to toggle between gamepad and mouse modes. A fingerprint reader, microphone and bottom-facing stereo speakers round things out. The plastic body measures 198 x 92 x 27 mm and weighs 560 g.

The 12000 mAh (46 Wh) battery charges over USB-C. Connectivity includes Thunderbolt 4 with eGPU support directly through the port (not through the dock), USB-A 3.2, HDMI video output, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Storage is a 1 TB NVMe SSD, expandable via microSD.

Windows 10 and a permissive modding policy give you full freedom over software, from PC games to emulation frontends. The reference price is 799 USD.

Ideal for: players who want a full Windows PC in their pocket, capable of emulation up to GameCube, Wii and PS2, with a built-in keyboard and room to expand via eGPU.
