The GPD's new Win Max 2 sports a keyboard and embedded controller setup

and it’s a miniature laptop that doubles as a handheld gaming console. Looking like an oversized Nintendo DS, the Win Max 2 has physical gaming controls above its keyboard complete with two analog sticks, a directional pad, and four face buttons. There are two pairs of shoulder buttons, plus an extra programmable pair on the back. It even has a six-axis gyroscope for motion control and a vibration motor.

Really, the GPD Win Max 2 is a weird hybrid of recent gaming features. The only thing that’s missing is a touch screen.Unlike the Steam Deck, GPD wants its new device to double as a work laptop. For starters, the Win Max 2 comes with two magnetic covers that can be placed over the embedded controllers to hide them so your boss is none the wiser. And there’s a built-in 2MP camera with a wide-angle view for video meetings.

On top of that, the computer has some fairly powerful hardware. You’ll have your choice of two models depending on which processor/graphic pair you choose. The first model has an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor paired with a AMD Radeon 680M RDNA2 graphics card. The 6800U is made up of eight cores with 16 threads and has a maximum boosted clock speed of 4.7 Ghz. GPD claims the 680M GPU allows the Win Max 2 to run certain games at “around 40 to 60 FPS with 1920x1200 resolution.
