Yesterday, I discussed how GPD is teasing essentially the most potent handheld but made — a GPD Win 5 that can home the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, with AMD’s strongest built-in graphics but, inside a PlayStation Vita-shaped machine.
In the event you’ve been questioning how that vast chip might even match, handheld skilled Cary “The Phawx” Golomb now has the reply: the 7-inch handheld will apparently haven’t any inside battery taking on house. The Win 5 is designed to both be plugged into the wall, with a gaming laptop computer sized 180-watt charger offering the juice — or powered by a giant 80 watt-hour exterior battery “backpack” that can (solely? moreover?) be bought individually.
We will see the complete spec sheet for the brand new Win 5 within the Phawx’s video, and as he notes, GPD needed to make its Win 5 bigger than the Win 4 even earlier than you add that backpack battery.
Whereas the Win 4 is a compact 6-inch handheld with a forty five watt-hour pack, the Win 5 with its 7-inch display screen will probably be narrower however thicker than the Asus ROG Ally X handheld — which is an apt comparability, contemplating that handheld equally pairs a 7-inch display screen with an 80 watt-hour battery pack.
Right here, although, the battery will add additional girth: it’s roughly 4 inches (110mm) large and tall, and 0.7 inches (18mm) deep; it’s not clear the way it attaches but, as GPD has solely shared the one darkish video of the Win 5 filmed from the entrance, however the spec sheet mentions a “Battery to Host Devoted Connector” as an adjunct, so it’d require plugging in a cable.
In the event you’re curious what the hand held’s controls would possibly appear like in higher mild, I attempted brightening it up:
Different intriguing issues we will see within the full spec sheet embody:
You may peruse the entire sheet at your leisure within the Phawx’s video or the screenshots we took from Phawx (together with his permission) under. You should definitely faucet a few occasions to make them giant sufficient for full studying.
