In the ever-evolving world of handheld gaming PCs, the GPD Win Mini Ryzen 7 PC is soon set to make a grand entrance. This clamshell handheld gaming PC, the first of its kind to feature a high refresh rate gaming screen, is a testament to GPD’s commitment to innovation and design. The Win Mini, a successor to the GPD WIN 2, is not only smaller than its predecessor, the 2023 Win Max 2, but also boasts a host of impressive features that are sure to impress gaming enthusiasts, due to its small form factor.

The GPD Win Mini, will soon be launched via the Indiegogo crowdfunding website and comes equipped with a 7-inch 120Hz display that can reach a maximum brightness of 500 nits, ensuring a vibrant and immersive gaming experience. Powering this device is a Ryzen 7 840U APU, complemented by RDNA3 Graphics, which guarantees smooth gameplay and stunning visuals.

The Win Mini is not just about gaming; it’s also about convenience. It features a built-in QWERTY keyboard and a trackpad, along with a built-in gamepad for those intense gaming sessions. The device also includes hall-based analog sticks and a D-pad, similar to the one found in the PS Vita, offering gamers a familiar and comfortable gaming experience.

It is available in two models, both based on Zen 4, with either 16 or 32 gigabytes of LP DDR5X RAM. The device also includes a 2230 PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD for storage and a 44.24 watt-hour battery.

The Win Mini runs on Windows 11 but also supports Linux, making it a versatile device for both gaming and computing. It also features linear Rumble Motors built in on the z-axis, a three-axis Gravity Sensor, and a three-axis gyroscope, enhancing the gaming experience with realistic feedback and motion sensing.
