Hey guys,

Check it out!

Is GPD WIN MAX the ultimate portable mini gaming laptop? To me, the answer is, Yes!

Although, I think they could make it better. Don't get me wrong, it's actually already pretty good. I've seen videos of people playing Doom and Witcher on this 8-inch mini laptop. I would really love to download some of my favorite STEAM games like DIRT 2 and play them on this laptop.

Of course, the added bonus is that you have an integrated controller on the laptop itself. I've heard that the control is pretty good with rumble effects and clicky thumbstick. Just hope that the controller is easy to repair when it's faulty.

• I/O: 1 x Thunderbolt 3, 1x USB Type-C 3.1 Gen2, 2x USB Type-A 3.1 Gen1, 1x MicroSDXD (A2) Slot, 1x HDMI 2.0b, 1x RJ45 ; 3.5mm Headset & Microphones.
• 8 inches H-IPS Technology touchscreen, Resolution: 1280 x 800. RAM/ROM: 16GB/512GB. Only 829 g, Easy to Take In Your Pocket On the GO !!

There's a video showing some kind of problem with the keyboard. Don't really understand what the problem is but I hope they solve it. The keyboard is part of the reason I like it more than the GPD WIN 2. Yes, you definitely buy the GPD WIN MAX for gaming but it's also a laptop with good specs.

Talking about specs, that's another area I hope they improve or change on. Not sure why they haven't tried AMD Ryzen and Radeon Vega integrated mobile graphics. There's a product called AYA NEO that's built with AMD Ryzen 5 and Vega 5.

Frankly, I don't want another Nintendo Switch clone product. That's what AYA NEO or the GPD WIN 3 is. I'll rather stick with my favorite Nintendo Switch lite. Which I use for gaming and watching youtube videos at night.

One day, hopefully, they'll have the kind of specs you find in a gaming laptop like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. Is it possible? Why not. The technology is getting better and faster. But, they have to solve the heating problem.

Asus says they have the new liquid metal cooling system. So, that might also work for the GPD WIN MAX type of design. An RBG keyboard and LED lighted controller would also be cool. Especially, if you play in the dark.

I was thinking if I should just get the One Netbook One Mix 3 Pro which has a 'normal' laptop design but, the GPD WIN MAX integrated controller is actually kinda useful if you don't want the hassle of having to bring along a controller when you're out and about. 

Imagine if you're on a train or a bus, wouldn't it much easier to pop out the GPD WIN MAX and start playing? You don't have to put the laptop on your lap, pair it and hold a controller to play. There are some situations having an integrated controller would be pretty nifty.

Last but not least, I hope they change the screen to a rotating type. So that I can use it as a tablet. Will be better to watch movies or youtube. If you the type to write notes or an artist, the ability will be a plus. And another thing is where's the webcam? 

People nowadays do a lot of video-calling and even live streaming. So, instead of having to buy a webcam, just add an integrated front camera. Definitely, if the GPD WIN MAX has all of these, it'll definitely be my new ultimate portable mini gaming laptop!

GPD WIN MAX Vs One Netbook One Mix 3 PRO

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I think I've found my new favorite 7 Inch portable gaming laptop. Actually, its screen is an 8-inch H-IPS touchscreen. Which is actually a plus. But, what's more, intriguing is that it has an integrated gaming controller. Just like my Nintendo Switch lite albeit a little weird and awkward looking.

Frankly, I've been thinking if it's much better to get the latest One Netbook One Mix 3 PRO. This thing can also possibly play any triple-A games too. Also, it looks more like a normal laptop than the GPD WIN MAX. The difference is, of course, you'll need to bring along an external controller.

There is actually a GPD WIN 3 and an AYA NEO which has more of a Nintendo Switch design. They're not ready for the market yet. And of course, there's the OneGx1 pro-7-inch gaming laptop. A new version has a Tiger lake (Wikipedia) mobile processor that is much more powerful.

I've been wondering why there isn't any AMD Ryzen processor or GPU version? I look at some of the available 7-inch laptops and compared them with my HP AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon Rx Vega 10 and they're not really that far off. I'm pretty sure they can fit it into the 7-8 inch mini laptop.

The AYA NEO is actually using an AMD Ryzen 5 processor with Radeon 5. So, I'm pretty sure they can bump it up the same as my HP 15.6 Inch laptop. Which as I've stated above have a Ryzen 7 and Radeon 10. It's still not as good as my favorite Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 but, they're definitely getting closer.

There are certain things that I would like the GPD WIN MAX to change or maybe improve. One thing is that I want a rotating touch screen. So that I can use it as a tablet. Useful, when I just want to watch youtube or movies. The second is that I'm pretty sure they can make it much thinner and lighter like the One Mix 3 Pro.

A little something like the One Netbook A1 Engineer PC design. One reason I like the GPD WIN MAX compared to the GPD WIN 3 or AYA NEO is that the WIN MAX has a better keyboard. I don't want another Nintendo Switch clone. I want something not just for gaming but used as a portable computer too.

Also, a webcam would be nice. Nowadays, because of the coronavirus pandemic, a lot of people are into video-calling. I myself like to video-call my nephew while on my laptop. It's actually more fun to be able to see and talk to each other.

A good camera might also be useful for live streaming or taking and editing videos. Like I say, these mini laptops are not just for gaming. The fact they have become more powerful means you can do more than just watching youtube or checking emails.

I'm really excited about the future of the 7-inch mini (gaming) laptop. Definitely gone are the days of a bulky gaming laptop that also cost a bomb. Now, if only these companies would like to sponsor and send me one of these mini laptops. :p

My Ultimate 7 Inch Mini Gaming Laptop

GPD Pocket 2 Mini Laptop 7" Touch Screen Aluminum Shell UMPC Windows 10 System CPU Intel Celeron Processor 3965Y 8GB/256GB (Amber Black)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I remember around 14 years ago, I bought my first 7-inch mini laptop. It was the Eee Pc from Asus. I ordered it straight from Taiwan. I think, it took around 2 weeks or probably a month to finally delivered to me. It doesn't exist anymore. They should make one with the latest specs.

I forget where I first heard about it but it was pretty popular back then. It came with a version of the Linux distro. But, I think I've tried installed Ubuntu and even Windows 7. It was a low-end laptop but it was fun to try out stuff on it.

Nowadays, there are many cool and powerful 7-inch mini laptops. Which already comes with the latest Microsoft Windows 10. Of course, to run Windows 10 and other software smoothly without lags, you'll need decent specs. The problem is the 7-inch size is much smaller than any other laptops.

The good thing is that, with new tech and design, you can actually make a 7-inch laptop that can run as well as any other bigger laptop out there. I've talked about how light and small the laptop motherboard are today. I discovered that on this HP laptop which I'm using right now when I opened it up.

There is one 7-inch gaming laptop that can surprisingly play many triple-A games. The CPU and GPU aren't really like the latest high-end gaming laptop but it's still amazing. That will really be my ultimate 7-inch gaming laptop. And, I want it!

The 7-inch gaming laptop I'm talking about is the One Netbook OneGx1. They have a new version with a cool black color. It has 16GB Ram and 1TB of storage. How bout that for a 7-inch laptop? And, it supposedly comes with an Intel Iris Xe graphics card. You can read about the card at PC Mag here.

Personally, I'll like them to change the design a bit though. How bout a different set of colors? Also, make it a 2-in-1 folding laptop. So, you can use it as a tablet. It's definitely much easier to hold when you just need the screen. It already has a touchscreen

For your info, the controller doesn't come with the laptop. It's sold separately. Kinda weird they decide to sell it that way. But, I was thinking of maybe using the tablet retractable Bluetooth controller and use it on the laptop. It's not just for this laptop, you can use it for other 7-inch laptops too.

I just found out about the One Netbook One Mix 3 pro and I think this is definitely one of the best 7-inch mini laptops. Just look at the Intel 10th i7-10510Y CPU, with 16G Ram and 512GB SSD. It also has Intel UHD graphics. Wish, it has the latest Intel Iris XE integrated graphics instead. 

The ram is also actually a DDR3 and not DDR4. But, the specs are definitely better than my 10 inches 3-year-old N4200 Intel Celeron laptop. It likes to freeze for a few secs once in awhile. I'll have to wait before able to use the mouse again. I upgraded from 4GB of ram to 8GB.

I think having a 16GB of ram will make things a little smoother. The HP laptop that I'm using right now only has an 8GB DDR4 ram. For basic usage, it doesn't have any problem. But, sometimes things do get a little weird. I'll be upgrading to 16GB once I have the dough.

The best thing about a 7-inch laptop is the portability. If you fit in a retractable Bluetooth controller, it'll become just like a Nintendo Switch. The Switch is probably the best portable gaming console right now. Simply because you can play triple-A games and of course Nintendo games and other indies.

The mobile phone can also become a laptop substitute. If only someone creates a keyboard case for mobile. And, I don't mean those folding keyboard cases. I want a good keyboard case that fits your phone permanently. I can just open and fold it if I want to use as a phone and open it half-way if I want to use it as a laptop. For me, I prefer typing on a real keyboard rather than a touchscreen keyboard.

When at home I like linking my phone to my computer. If I'm communicating on Whatsapp, it's much easier and faster typing on a real keyboard. Also, fewer mistakes. Of course, if you're walking while outside, I can just use the touchscreen. But, if I can sit down somewhere, typing is much better.

If I have a 7-inch laptop, I can link my mobile phone to it and use the keyboard to reply to Whatsapp or other messaging apps. If you have the latest Samsung Phone, you can also turn your laptop into an Android device with Samsung Dex. So, it's not a bad idea to have a small portable laptop for work and play. Maybe, one day, I'll find my ultimate 7-inch mini gaming laptop!
