THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've been really wanting the Win 4 because it looks SO cool! I wanted a Windows based device so I could play more games and do more stuff but now that you've told me about the long load times and buggy Windows experience, I don't think I want to deal with all that when I'll be mostly using it on the go or at work when I have some time... Also there not being a model available with an OLED screen brought down my excitement for it (they are missing out on a LOT of sales to other brands because of just this). I have a top model Steam Deck OLED in my shopping cart on the Steam store and a Win 4 in my Amazon cart trying to decide which one to save up for, the Steam Deck is half the price of the Win 4 so now after watching your review I've OFFICIALLY decided to go with the Steam Deck OLED and I feel extremely confident about it now! Also, I think the trade of having fewer games to play is fine considering how much more reliable and bug free the Steam OS experience seems to be and I think you can also play Game Pass games on it too! Thanks again for the review!
I got 64gb version 2023 GPD Win 4 for 900€ from eBay, and I couldn't be happier. It does get warm but only under charge and it's not very unpleasant. Actually makes a good hand warmer on the cold nights
i got mine GPD Win4 2024 version, i love it! Although it crashed on me after massive windowi update in Dec 2024. using gpd image/firmware i manage to start fresh. if ur nerdy/tech savvy, it will be plenty of portable game time joy coming ahead, definatly get to know Motion Saaistant app before installing 3rd party tools. ** GPD WIN 4 v2025 is out 30% more efficient than v2024
im over 50, I have both Legion Go and GPD Win 4 2024, i can say this... i enjoy more play time laying on bed with the GPD, now my Lengion Go now is just a desktop docked for playing old mouse/keyboard required PC Games. To me, GPD WIn 4 joystick controls and trigger buttons are way better performance while playing Diablo 4. its quite addicting 😊
This thing is truly remarkable I got mine off ali express 2024 8840u 32gb 2tb model. I haven't found a game I can't play yet. I can even play Ark Ascended at epic graphics setting which is a absolute monster of a game. When it came out so many ppl were complaining it was to intense on graphics cards yet this little beauty runs it no problem. I had a steam deck which really struggled with this game even on very very low settings constant stuttering. I am truly In awe of what this machine can do!
Hi. Thanks for the breakdown. I have a question: Does the win 4 fit in your pocket? I'm curious to see if it might fit in jeans, or cargo pants side pockets if it doesn't. Maybe a hoodie front pocket? I'm interested in having a somewhat powerful computer to keep on my person, without a bag or backpack, and I love the design of this device. I wonder if I should wait for a 2025 version though.
Would 10 watts run modern games at the low settings? If you dont mind i would like to see video tests with 10 watts, low settings, 30fps lock with a couple of modern games (mw3, gow4, re2)
How is the Sleep Mode for this Win 4? Say if you're in the middle of gameplay and need to pause and power down the device for a moment, can you resume gameplay later on?
I have the 8840u 2024 model and I hit the power button put it to sleep watch a couple hours of tv come back and it's right where I left it (just need to unlock windows)
@@TheUnboxingGadget If only they can get Unreal Engine 3D graphics on a Chip… I guess streaming games on phones should work. But people want a controller. I think someone should just invest in video game subscriptions services and have a warehouse of pcs streaming video games. For phones.

No problem!

Lol a hand warmer but you right though!
it takes sometimes 30min load time for AAA games? it sounds like the installed NVME SSD is overheating causing thermal throttling issues?
Really I wanted to buy this but kinda thinking now if I should.

Nba Street is old school one of my favorites! Definitely thinking of getting one of these
All the NBA Street Volumes were top tier!
I have 6800U, add 3d printed grip, you will thanks me. No more hot hand and improve the ergonomy in general
Ohh you are right I might need that haha 😂
Important , is it better than Microsoft Surface Pro 3? I have possibilities to buy one win 4 for like 300$ 512gb ssd, 16gb ram.

For jeans imo it’s a no haha can not fit but for cargos if the pocket is really big I think it will fit!
This with the PS stick layout would be perfect.
You know what you might be on to something!
can you try bazzite os on this
Noted! Def need to try Bazzite out
what tennis game is that?
TopSpin 2K25
even playing with only emulation(switch/ps2) it gets hot? or only playing pc games?
Only PC games! Emulation games it runs nice and smooth
Would 10 watts run modern games at the low settings? If you dont mind i would like to see video tests with 10 watts, low settings, 30fps lock with a couple of modern games (mw3, gow4, re2)
Great idea! I do run Dave the Diver at 10 watts and it runs perfectly
@@TheUnboxingGadget there's also motion assistant and frame generation aswell
some games even run at 4watts. Dynasty warriors orochi 3 at 720p, all settings high, 30fps to my surprise.
That's what is preventing me from buying this is it gets Hot on the right side
Yeah it does get a little hot 🥵
It ain't that hot
It’s perfect for anything
I use it all the time!
How is the Sleep Mode for this Win 4? Say if you're in the middle of gameplay and need to pause and power down the device for a moment, can you resume gameplay later on?
From my experience there is no managed sleep wake like with the steam deck on the Win 4 so that experience isn’t great
@@TheUnboxingGadget Thank you for letting me know ! 🙂
I have the 8840u 2024 model and I hit the power button put it to sleep watch a couple hours of tv come back and it's right where I left it (just need to unlock windows)
@@MegaNexxxus ok thats very interesting, im reconsidering purchasing the 2024 model now :)
is it faster than the asus?
@@munkbok I don’t have the asus unfortunately to compare 🥲
wdym you have the Asus Rog ally in the video?@@TheUnboxingGadget
@@munkbok oh the rog ally my bad yeah lol ehh it depends what you are running. But it’s pretty comparable to the ally
You could buy a pc/laptop for that price
Can’t even lie it is expensive lol

I would buy all GPD devices, Gaben - failed, boom bidy bye bye. Vita is a toy for 3 y. old compare to GPD devices
Please GPD keep making devices! lol 😂

@PashaDefragzor The steamdeck was more affordable and worked out of the box day one. Gaben in fact did not fail.
