GDP has built a handful of tiny handheld gaming laptops over the years, and now they're back with yet a new variant. This time it's returning to its Intel roots after dabbling in the embedded AMD Ryzen territory.

GDP Win Max Specifications

CPUIntel Core i5-1035G7 (4 cores / 8 threads @ 1/2 / 3.7 GHz)
GraphicsIntegrated Gen11 Iris Plus (64 EUs)
RAM16GB LPDDR4 @ 3733 MHz.
Storage512GB NVMe SSD @ 2,000 MBps

According to the official specs shared, the tiny gaming laptop (though, calling it a laptop seems a bit much), runs off an Intel Core i5-1035G7 Ice Lake CPU that comes with Iris 11 integrated graphics (iGPU).

Of course, there's no dedicated graphics card , but you probably won't be trying to do any hardcore gaming on an 8-inch display at 1280 x 800 resolution.

The display is of the IPS type and has a maximum brightness of 500 nits, which should make it great for outdoors. Color coverage is 90% of the DCI-P3 space, though we doubt you'll be using this for video editing.

Storage and memory is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD and 16GB of LPDDR4 memory. The RAM is even said to run at 3,733 MHz, which is amazingly fast, especially for such a minuscule device. Of course, that speed will come in handy for the Intel Iris Plus iGPU, which will rely on the memory for its buffer.

A Weird, but Cool, Design

The interface of the GDP Win Max stands out compared to today's laptops. It has a trackpad above the keyboard, and on the sides next to the trackpad are gaming controls in the form of twp joysticks, a D-pad and ABXY keys. The rear of the notebook even has four triggers (two on each side).

Connectivity is quite lavish too for a little notebook like this. The rear I/O has an HDMI port, two USB Type-A ports and two USB Type-C ports, one of which supports the Thunderbolt 3 protocol. Move on to the side and you'll also find a Gigabit Ethernet port and a MicroSD card slot, which will come in handy for storage expansion.

The tiny PC's release date and price is anyone's guess, though we doubt this little unit will come cheap.
