10:02 - Conclusion and final thoughts

GPD is a solid brand you may not have heard of before. They specialize in handheld devices and this is their most ambitious product so far - packing a full Windows 10 PC into a device the size of a Nintendo DS.

The Atom X7-Z8700 processor is the higher end Atom processor and delivers great performance for a mini PC. But it's not enough to support popular AAA titles like GTA V and Rocket League. The best I could do on GTA V was about 15-20 frames per second and about 20-25 FPS on Rocket League with the lowest settings.

Battery life isn't all that great, with maybe 3-4 hours of moderate usage.

My other gripe involves the controller. While it's comfortable and well placed it does not have clickable thumb sticks. It instead moved those buttons to the side of the built in keyboard.

The onboard keyboard is decent and reminds me of an old blackberry. I did not have any unintended keypresses when using the game controller component.

Overall this is a decent device but I still prefer the less expensive GPD XD Android handheld.
