The GPD Win 4 is a compact handheld gaming PC that really stands out because of its innovative design. It features a screen that slides up to reveal a full physical keyboard underneath. The device first hit the market in 2022 equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor. Fast forward to 2024, and we now see it with the more robust Ryzen 7 8840U processor.
This latest model boasts 32GB of RAM and a hefty 2TB of solid-state storage, available for purchase on Indiegogo at $985. Although Indiegogo is typically known for crowdfunding new projects, the GPD Win 4 is part of an InDemand campaign, which means it’s already been manufactured and is ready for shipping, with deliveries expected to start in April 2024.
For those looking for more options, the GPD Win 4 also plans to offer a more budget-friendly version featuring a Ryzen 5 8640U processor, with configurations ranging from 16GB to an impressive 64GB of RAM and 512GB to a massive 4TB of storage.
The 2024 model doesn’t skimp on specs. It comes with a 6-inch, 1920 x 1080 resolution touchscreen display that refreshes at 60 Hz and uses a high-quality IPS LCD panel. For memory, it features the speedy LPDDR5x-7500 and for storage, it employs a PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. The battery is substantial too, at 45.62 Wh. Connectivity is comprehensive, including one USB4 Type-C port capable of 40 Gbps, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, an OCuLink port for 63 Gbps of bandwidth, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card slot. Additionally, it supports optional 4G LTE, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2.
The 2024 GPD Win 4 closely resembles its predecessor in many ways, especially the central processing specs. However, the new Ryzen 8840U chip enhances AI performance by 60%, achieving up to 16 TOPs, making the latest version a notable upgrade for those keen on cutting-edge technology in a portable format.
