    I would actually consider this as my next laptop replacement. I just worry about GPDs customer service and quality assurance.

      DroiX is a reseller of the brand and you'd get all warranty done through them. Well worth it to not get it directly from GPD.

      @DroiX_Store  4 месяца назад +6

      Buy it from us at droix.co.uk or droix.net and with GPD products you get a two year warranty and our customer service. If there's any issues it goes back to us for repair or replacement as required.

    I want this but waiting for a high refresh screen tho. 60Hz isn't good enough for me in 2024. Give me 1080p @ 120Hz and that would be fine.

    • @Cenkolino
      @Cenkolino 4 месяца назад +5

      That 60 Hz is really weak. I mean I know most new games wont even run over 60 Hz but after having a 144 Hz Legion Go and 120 Hz Ally 60 Hz is simply too slow...

      Battery stats are at 2:49 and after threre's fan noise and thermals. Compared to 2023 model, we got around 15 min extra. But do keep in mind the drivers have improved over time so there may be some differences now.

    I am thinking of buying this laptop for everyday use, i.e., home, work and outside, and the use of many different software (graphics, video editing, blender and programming). It attracts me because of its really small size. Is it good for such varied use? I don't understand how it is still so little known.

    • @DroiX_Store
      @DroiX_Store  4 месяца назад +3

      It is a great all round device. I would recommend the GPD G1 eGPU if you are doing a lot of rendering and video encoding. It will speed the process up a great deal more than the integrated GPU. But for light video editing etc its fine.

      I use this for Graphic Design, Illustration and Blender. An external GPU is a must for Blender so I use an external RTX 3060 and am very happy. My only regret is not being able to purchase the 64g RAM. That is a must in working with the Adobe Suite and large files. I have had no issues with quality so far. The gaming is just fine for me and with some grips I 3D printed love the handheld part. The screen is just big enough for me.

    • @DroiX_Store
      @DroiX_Store  2 месяца назад +1

      There are many games that are graphically demanding. We like to change between games to keep things fresh. While we would like to do more benchmarks, we have to test at 4K, 1080P and 720P across 5 different TDP for handhelds for every game, and that does not include eGPU benchmarks if the device supports it. That's several runs of benchmarks for each game which can be time consuming.
      Cyberpunk may return to the benchmarks in the future, or failing that we may occasionally include it on our gameplay part of the reviews to show the best graphics settings.
