Taking Apart The GPD Win! - Tech Wave!

- It's finally time to take apart the GPD Win. This is one of the smallest full fledged laptops I have ever seen. Because it is so small, I am curious to see what is going on inside and how they are cooling the CPU and ram.

Thanks for stopping by! No News Wave! today or tomorrow most likely, currently at the hospital with my wife having a baby. I may do one on Sunday as a special.
congrats on the baby, man!
WOW congrats :D
Spawn Wave Baby?... I guess you can say they're spawning in... I don't know where I was going with that... congrats man!
Welcome to the "Dad's that game" Club, lol. Congrats!
G Money on Twitter he said his name is Logan
Congrats on the baby. Hope everyone is doing well. I didn't believe in love at 1st sight until our 1st was born, instant life changer in the best way possible.
I swear the song gives me nightmares
True! I love it though!
Ziggerton That music is so generic in medical tv shows.
Nick Loquellano name?
it sounds so damn familiar..
do you know the name of it?
Jack Mycelium no i serch for it but i dident fond it
i've seen other teardowns and pictures and i love how they did the shoulder buttons i dont like the placement but they feel nice and the way they have pressure contacts to the mainboard eliminating wires and allowing easy assembly and disassembly its funny that a chinese manufacturer thats relatively unknown is taking great care in the design of thier machines they keep getting better i'm sure the gpd pocket will be even better.
hey there! i found out about the gpd win some weeks ago and couldn't believe at first that it exists, watched some good reviews and ordered it the same day - and i absolutely fell in love with it. i've got a steam library of 2000+ titles (mostly from bundles) and i am super excited to try out new titles on the road - especially graphically simpler ones, that i might give a pass on the big screen - which really payed off so far (e.g. ChrossCode or Galak-Z are extremely good). the general experience is surprisingly stable, steams in-home streaming works fantastic (if you want that) and playing great indie games on the go is superb. there are some limitations to keep in mind though:
1. steam takes quite some time to load on boot and then you have to tell it to go into offline mode (when there's no wifi like in a subway etc.) - so it takes quite some time to actually start a game in steam - might be better to play those games without steam if possible, but then you have no cloud, achievements etc.
2. not every game really works on a small screen. obviously RTS will be hard, but there where several games i tried and thought: big screen for sure. can't put my finger on it yet. small text is definitely a problem sometimes.
3. the L3/R3 buttons aren't in the sticks but seperatly next to the keyboard. as a lot of games that use them are often action heavy, that can be a deal breaker for certain games. that was the case especially when i tried some newer AAA titles via in-home streaming - it just took too long to find the sprint button and Lara was dead already.
4. there's quite an inconvenience regarding playing on the go: a lot of games will simply crash if you close the system while playing. it might help to turn off the win 10 lock screen, but i havent managed that. but it's quite annoying.
other than that: it's really what you hope it to be. i was thinking about getting a switch - especially when i heared that it will support a lot of indie games. but i didn't regret my decision to buy the gpd win instead so far and probably won't in the future - as i won't have to buy games for huge amounts of money just to play them on the go now.
I played team matches of age of empires 2 hd on my WIN and we won. No rpoblem for me at all XD
And no slowdown even though it's in 720p with AA tuirned on and there were like 200 units on screen all fighting each other, over WIFI XD
haha, thats quite impressive. but you have to admit, that it was an extra challenge, no? i'll admit that RTS are always way too stressful for me, as everything is happening all over the place at the same time. so the smaller screen and slightly slower mouse control didn't help me. but good to know that it's possible for pros;-)
Congrats on the baby! Wish you and your family the best.
Thanks for doing this! I used to repair electronics, so it's really interesting to me.
I actually brought one the day before yesterday and so far I'm liking it. The GPD win can be used like how you would use the switch, connect a mouse and a keyboard to it, hook it up to a TV with HDMI cable and I have a full laptop where can do photoshop and illustrator. I can also connect my PS4 controller to it and play emulator games and PC games on TV. What's more, I can take it on the go and play games with the built-in controller.
SPAWN WAVE, thank you for your work, I've been following you daily for 2 months now. Great coverage and especially for the Switch. On that topic, for your next news-wave do you think it would be a good idea to address all the scam sellers on amazon selling Switch games and consoles for dramtically lower than MSRP?
is there anything you can't take apart ? Good job Jonathan, fun video.
always enjoy watching techwaves, keep it up!
I take it the L/R 2 Buttons can not be removed from the Shell Housing correct? Want to do a 3D Scan of the bottom so I can make a new Shell to allow for a larger Battery, but the L/R 2 Buttons can not be Removed. The L/R1 Buttons are fine. Can pop out those no problem after removing the Circuit Boards for the Buttons.
You should have done the heatsink mod while in there... which is just put a metal shim in so the thermal paste isn't so thick (which acutally conducts heat much worse than the the shim). They say doing that mode makes it about 10C cooler...
Absolutely Excellent Dismantle!
THANK YOU!
The smaller the fan the higher the pitch created by the fan. Bigger fans are lower pitch and subsequently quieter FYI
Another great disassembly video. If I had but one complaint it's that your overhead camera isn't as clear as your main camera so the details aren't quite a clear when you're taking it apart. Otherwise, I really enjoy seeing this videos pop up in my feed.
The memory heat pad looks like it's been randomly stuck on and like there should be 2 of them. Did you check to see if they still have that plastic film over the heatsink where the cpu makes contact with it?
I bet the cooling would be better if they flip the fan over so its pushing air onto the copper shim instead of pulling it off of it since there arn't any fins on it it kinda seams redundant to pull air off of it. And that leave to the next part taking the corner of a file and making some light runs over the shim under the fan to act somewhat as fins to help cool it better then also add a copper shim on the cpu and liquid metal on the cpu and inbetwene the copper plate and the shim. All those together should help cooling a but ton.
Zelda update went live fixing most of the framerate problems. I tested it and it's the real deal. This is all I wanted Nintendo to do, this game is now a 10/10 for me.
One of my triggers came off on the GPD WIN the Right one, is that easy to fix? or Replacement parts still available anywhere or could I use buttons from something else to fix it?

What a shame.
The music has been blocked thanks to DMCA.
Anyway, I‘m watching this as anticipation for the teardown and comparison to the Steam Deck.
Do you have a video for dissasembling the screen's zone?
xD i likr that song when like taking it a part sound nintendo like related lol Keep up the work spawnwave
My Main gripe with either of the GPD devices is - Really wish it had a Full Size HDMI port - rather than having to carry around a Mini-Full adapter...
I hope you can also do a teardown for the GPD XD 2 and GPD Win
Hey John. Bayonetta just got ported over to PC.
I have this Game Monster,Can we add more battery inside it?
Did you test some games on the system or will you do in the future?
Would be interesting to see how it performs.
I will test some games, South Park runs well, Batman does not.
Ah ok, thank you. I think games, which are also available on the Switch would be interesting.
And also, how is your opinion on the gamepad controls?
Been wanting one of these, but haven't seen it much less than $400.
I wonder if it is possible to underclock the CPU to get a little less heat and better battery life, but still be overall faster than the Bay Trail chip.
yeah you can disable the turbo in bios to keep at 1.6 ghz, performance basically the same but less heat and more battery :)
Cool. Maybe someone can do some benchmarks comparisons on that.
Get it on Geekbuy, it's on sale currently, for 329.99$, with a travel case included.
Awesome vid!
:D
They just use cheapest fan though. Separetely I saw them sell replacement ones for 7 dollars. Shipped. :)
and I believe different (batches of) wins have different brands of fans. So probably whatever is on sale that day in Shenzhen.
But the unit works fine, is solid, and plays tons of great games like emulators, nfs underground, magicka, overlord, etc. really well so I am happy with mine. :D
your right ear extends slightly further out then your left ear
What's it like for browsing the web, using the analogue sticks as a mouse ?
Moon Pig quite handy actually. GPD Win2 will make it even easier
can you look into the switch cracking near power button issue that is cropping up. i checked this morning and indeed mine has a triange shaped chip with a hairline fracture leading to the nearby screw.
Interesting, mine has a crack as well. I figured it was just from me ripping it apart so many times. I'll check it out, it's interesting that it's happening to people who have not opened the system.
thanks for the hard work!
Hey man where is the bios battery i need to remove that to reset the bios setting where is it i cant find it please help me !
Thanks for info! Chris
did u order it off gear best and if u did how long was the shipping. it's been 6 days for me and I am getting nervous that I .aybe got ripped off
Where's the storage?
What happens when you use up the hours on the battery? Does it not charge anymore?
That cooling system is still hilariously bad, should've used an impeller, there's no way they're getting reasonable airflow with that thing
Are you going to watercool it and overclock it?
It looks awesome.
also congrats to you and your wife :)
i wish the internal storage was upgradeable...
can i ask what type of mother board that is
this thing would have been epic for it diagnostic if it has an ethernet port. an hdmi input to use the screen as a monitor would have been epic too
It has Mini HDMI on the back to output to a TV or Monitor.
Spawn Wave I mean the other way around, so it's screen could work as an external monitor. would have made it perfect for working on headless system's. I still might get one to work on Cisco console using serial to USB adapter. I hate carrying around a laptop
you could probably get a USB to RJ45 adapter
they're making gpd pocket after gpd win. gpd pocket is mac book like design. no controller. aluminum body. smaller than gpd win.
put4558350 Thinner, but with a 7" screen. They're definitely marketing it properly towards IT people & women who don't like carrying large laptop bags.
put4558350 It's larger than GPD win not smaller
Wow the background is back . Dont change it
That's another set I built. I currently have 2 sets and only one set of lights :P I need to get more lights so I don't have to move stuff around when I want to jump to another set.
where can i download that instrumental?
did u fond it ? i am serching for it !
cool thanks for showing this know i know the ram is most definitely not upgrade able this helps alot so i will subscribe for the quality video
You need more music variety
I'm trying to decide if it's worth modding mine to have clickable thumbsticks
So what Do I get??
The GPD Win 1 -or the Win 2 ? OR The GPD Pocket of the Gole 1 ???? Anyone ???
If you can afford it win2...way way more powerful than the win 1.
Even more storage than Switch, damn.
8700? Isn't it 8750?
are you sure you haven't missed any screws back into it? lol
Huh, neat
Very loud is wrong
At least GPD puts the fan on the cpu heat sink --learn apple
Meow
He so reminds me of Tae Lopez
k.
if only the switch had a Pascal chip D:
Why? Games would perform identical youd just see a little bit better battery life lol
Eagleye42 00 Pascal doesn't mean as or more powerful than Xbox one. It just means better battery life. What you should be saying is that you wished it had more cuda cores.
I want more battery life lol, that's my biggest issue with the switch.
link2dpast plus if I wanted power then I would play on PC lol
Eagleye42 00 You mean that it should have gtx 1080 ti as a dock.
Early
Dude why are you giving out engineering advice lol. You don't qualify to do that.
first
This device is built like shit and has poor build quality.
The GPD win can't even run Yooka Laylee at a playable frame rate. Don't buy that device for gaming.
MyGamingLifeXV It's capable of proper emulation up to Wii-level. Countless great 3D games on the go. I think it would be a good buy.
they're making gpd pocket after gpd win. gpd pocket is mac book like design. no controller. aluminum body. smaller than gpd win.
That's cool, I'll look into that one as well.
