I've owned this device for about a year now and have used it quite a bit for steam gaming and emulation. Haven't had any issues besides battery life and not being able to run most recent games that well, but that's to be expected in a small package like this. Reason I bought it is because I've always been into handheld game systems growing up with the nintendo ds, psp and switch being my favorites and this is like the ultimate portable that can run all those and pc games, so definitely scratched that itch. Didn't want to wait for the Steam Deck either but this is definitely a good alternative (albiet pricey one). It's also just an all around good pc that runs Windows 11 perfectly. I know this is definitely a niche market for expensive handheld pc's, especially with the much cheaper steam deck on the market, but for me the customization, smaller, more comfortable form factor, and the fact it has a keyboard makes this slightly better for me. Definitely get the console grip and dock for a better experience. This is a well built, premium console. Nice job GPD. Can't wait for the next iteration from these guys. Hopefully not as pricey

The fans are loud, it gets pretty hot, and the keyboard is so bad that I use the touch keyboard on the screen, and it is a very overpriced. The controller layout isn't the best, but the buttons themselves feel great.

However, now that I own one of these, this is the best thing I've ever purchased in a long time! I've been able to emulate any game I want from PSP up to PS2 without worrying about frame drops. I have no doubt I can run higher end emulators.

I don't play steam games that much but it's strong enough to run The Skywalker Saga at high 720p 40fps (on the most demanding planet) and Black Ops II at max settings 91fps for reference.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this for the price unless you know why you're getting it. This really is a niche device.

Buyers beware, there is this annoying bug that if you put it in sleep more for too long, the device wont turn back on or force shut even when holding the power button. It's not enough to knock off a star from my review since I still use this very regularly, but it's so annoying that when it happens, it only seems to turn on when it wants to. Best way to avoid this is to turn off automatic sleep and shutdown mode completely. Just shut it down manually when you're not using it. Even then, the thing will sometimes take too long to shut down and you can't turn it on until it's completely off and the power button still won't work.

Also, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone runs smoothly when it works, but will crash randomly, especially when too much is going on like in ground war.

I bought this because I need something smaller than a laptop with a good processor, memory and storage. This one reminds me an old game gear but bigger. The fan is not noisy all the time unless running a game or another app that requires processing speed reason why the fan is noisy because it needs to blow hot air from the processor inside or else it will damage the board. The only time it will run more is when I play a game.

The operating system is Windows 10 Home and upgradable to Windows 11. I didn't upgraded yet. I wish I could upgrade Windows 10 Pro.

I own a few Handheld gaming systems, the Gpd win 3 is by far my favorite, i no-longer like to use my others. I can play almost all my game's on this console. I hope to get the GPD win 4.

Completely exceeded my expectations. I mean a Quad Core i7 in a hand held unit that runs windows? I can tell you I have run some pretty high end gaming titles and they run great on this unit. I also own a steam deck and love it, but some games won't run yet because not all games support the hardware. This unit will run those games. Not necessarily at the highest quality settings but it really looks amazing. Seriously you can throw in a docking station for about $80 and you suddenly have a desktop PC with 16gb memory and a 1tb ssd. If you can afford it, definitely pick one of these up! (I know the GPD Win 4 is coming out soon but that will probably be $1500 for a while at least).
