GamePad Digital GPD Win Max 2021 is a large-screen handheld gaming PC launched in 2021. Powered by Core i7-1195G7 (8-core, 4.2 GHz, 5.0 GHz), 16GB LPDDR4 RAM and AMD Radeon RX Vega 8, Intel Iris Xe 96EU GPU. Features a 8" Touchscreen, H-IPS LCD display (1280 x 800, 16:10). 57 Wh battery and WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Microsoft Windows.

The GamePad Digital GPD Win Max 2021 is a clamshell handheld gaming PC launched in 2021 that opens like a mini laptop. It comes in two processor options: the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U on the Zen 2 architecture, with 8 cores, 16 threads and clocks from 1.8 to 4.2 GHz, paired with AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics, or the Intel Core i7-1195G7 with Intel Iris Xe 96EU graphics. Both pack 16 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 1 TB or 2 TB of NVMe SSD storage, expandable via microSD.

Running Windows on x86-64, it covers virtually the entire emulation spectrum: from Atari 2600, NES and Sega Genesis up to PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, PSP and Nintendo DS. Its comfortable limit is GameCube, Wii and PS2, which are playable. The platform list also includes Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Wii U and PlayStation 3, though these go beyond its reliable performance zone. Cooling relies on a heatpipe and dual fans.

The 8-inch H-IPS LCD touchscreen offers WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, 188.68 ppi, a 60 Hz refresh rate and a tempered glass cover.

Controls include a full QWERTY keyboard, dual Hall Effect joysticks with L3/R3, a separated PS Vita-style D-pad, four face buttons and vertically oriented L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulders. There are no analog triggers and no rumble. A dedicated key switches between gamepad and mouse modes, while volume and brightness get their own buttons. The magnesium aluminum alloy body measures 207 x 145 x 26 mm and weighs 790 g, with rear-facing dual stereo speakers and a microphone.

The 15000 mAh (57 Wh) battery charges over USB-C. Connectivity is generous: two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, Ethernet, HDMI output, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.

With Windows 10 and a permissive modding policy, you can freely install PC game launchers, emulators and frontends, turning it into both a retro console and a full PC.

Ideal for: players who want a pocketable PC with a real keyboard, capable of emulation up to PS2, GameCube and Wii, plus productivity on the go.
