About this deal

I genuinely believe that with some solid driver updates this device would be perfect but for now I have a few little irritations hence the 4 stars.

The GPD WIN MAX 2 AMD model has the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with 8 cores and 16 threads running up to 4.70GHz between 15-28W TDP. For graphics there is the high-performance AMD Radeon 680M running up to 2.2GHz. There is a choice of 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5-6400 RAM and 1TB or 2TB of fast M.2 NVMe 1.4 storage. There is also an additional M.2 slot for another SSD, as well as a MicroSD card slot for expansions In our temperatures, fan noise and battery tests we are running Street Fighter 6 on a loop to get the required measurements. We got a highest temperature of 62 degrees and 62 decibels of fan noise under full load. The battery lasted just over 2 hours which is a nice improvement on the 1 hour 45 on the Ryzen 7 model. And while idle on the desktop it managed just under 9 hours, a little longer than the Ryzen 7 model. The fewer cores and threads probably help there.
