    Excellent review as always. I also use a GPD WinMax 2 with Oculink eGPU as my primary desktop and work laptop for travel. Can't wait to replace it with the Duo. While I love the WinMax 2, I don't find myself using the built-in controls at all, and feel that I'll get much more value from having 2 displays and a full-size keyboard. Really look forward to seeing how it changes my productivity when traveling for work. Won't miss packing the extra monitor and keyboard that I normally travel with.

      i would LOVE a clamshell linux tablet to draw on. A matte screen would be nice to draw with and while outdoors doing photo/video work.

    My only gripe is the 2nd screen should have been detachable to reduce bulk on the go. As is the gpd duo is a cool concept, but its impractical. The first thing I did with my last laptop was buy a pen display which actually doubles as many things. You can also buy cheaper portable displays otherwise or just buy a foldable dual display for any computer in any size if you really want something that matches the vertical stack format.

    As for the port layout, that was a big contributing factor to why I didn't back this.

      i just received my duo and so far linux i don't think is going to be a great experience which is a big let down for me. The screen seems to be oriented upside down in its default orientation i'm basing this on the fact booting ventoy and memtest86 is displaying upside down. I'm also noticing that the trackpad does not work in memtest86 as well as the function buttons like display brightness and turning on and off the extra display. This seems to indicate that there is drivers needed to speak to whatever is controlling these functions vs just being purely hardware.

  • @visionary4787
    @visionary4787 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I can’t help but wonder if GPD might have missed the mark slightly with some design decisions. For instance, while the dual 13.3-inch OLEDs are impressive, the 60Hz refresh rate feels outdated for gaming at this price and performance level. Many modern devices are leaning toward higher refresh rates, especially for gaming laptops, like come on GPD.
    Then there’s the undervolting performance, something I would’ve hoped would provide more consistent results, but it seems unpredictable depending on the game and power level. It feels like GPD tried to pack too much into one device without fully ironing out how each feature would work together. Still, the concept is undeniably exciting. It might not be perfect for everyone, but for those who prioritize versatility and a “do it all” device, the GPD Duo could be just quirky enough to justify a second look.

    It looks fantastic! The only factor preventing me from purchasing it right now is the GPU.
    For a workstation laptop, I was hoping for at least a GTX 4060. Is the GPD Duo's Radeon 890M comparable to that?

    • @everalm1
      @everalm1 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The 890m is (very) roughly comparable to a 3050/3050 Ti. If you want the extra grunt add a eGPU using either the USB4 or Oculink ports

    Extremely disappointed in the performance differences between 890m and 780m, such minuscule gain it's unreal.Maybe 890m at 35w and above? Was going to upgrade from my win 4 7840u but highly likely not.

      Oculink isn't thunderbolt. And the reality is pushing for 4k120 ultra settings which stresses the GPU most is very much inline with a desktop. But I am forcing a very GPU-bound scenario

    @tomoprime217 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am kinda disappointed with this review to be honest. All of your comparisons are at 720p. With super amoled displays you'll at least want to bump up the resolutions especially since we get more CUs on the gpu side of things here vs hawk point. You take the long road to explain the basics. Maybe also color code your graphs in less duplicate so that the VS comparisons overlap as a single chart so I dont have to eye ball query up and down, back and forth over every talking point for every tdp. Ok sorry if I am ranting off a bit. I understand a lot of effort went into this verbose review. Happy you got to upgrade the win max 2 with a nice bit of kit.
