Nice review but I'd like to hear more about how this thing is to actually use. How does the keyboard fare etc.. The specs are nice and how it performs is decent but the real tradeoffs here aren't in the specs.
Though I suppose most people buying these will dock it most of the time.
I think personally I'd prefer an ultralight 11" with an excellent keyboard. Like a Thinkpad X270 but much thinner and lighter. Below that the keyboard starts getting smallish.
- ungruntled 6y agoI have GPD P2 Max, the keyboard is ok for typing letters, but punctuation requires special key combos, and symbols used in programming like brackets underscores, commas, plus, equals, etc also have unusual key combos. I’ve been unable to use it for any meaningful programming work. The fan is also loud even on quiet mode settings. You need to underclock it to reduce fan speed to what my opinion is comfortable for working in a quiet room.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI have a Chuwi Minibook (similar form factor) and I completely agree with you. In addition to the awkward keyboard, one of the main problems is that a lot of desktop software does NOT like to run on a 7 inch screen. For example, Steam is unusable because even when the window is as small as it can be, parts of it are still offscreen
