The GPD Win 2 looks interesting. Can you tell us more about it.
- canuckintime 7y agoI had the original GPD Win (second revision) and its a quite capable travel computer. I loved the using the two thumb typing grip (which I had perfected from the iPad mini and iPhone 3S ~ 5s landscape) even though the keyboard wasn't so great. My main other gripe was the low screen resolution. The keyboard has been improved in the GPD Win 2 but the resolution stayed the same (I understand why given the target audience but 720p limits it to gamers). I stopped using my GPD Win after the battery swelled up (and Chinese 'warranty' as my third complaint) but despite its flaws I miss it dearly and I'm considering getting a GPD MicroPC soon
- ryukafalz 7y agoI can’t speak for the Win 2, but the Micro PC’s keyboard is miles ahead of the Win’s. I would never use the original Win for terminal work if I had a choice; I have used the Micro PC for it. DisplayPort output via USB-C is another plus (monitor/mouse/keyboard/charging with one cable!) though the Win 2 may have had that as well, I’m not sure. The original Win did not.
- tombert 7y agoThe GPD Win 2 is pretty sweet; I have Ubuntu installed on mine, and it makes a more-than-capable coding machine, even while standing up.
