Hi,Mr Ben,i am Hung cin siong from indonesia.please review GPD win mini.its top product now hehe.thanks

Great review and never thought of this brand. Do you plan on reviewing the Nubia Z60 Ultra? Would love to hear your take on the camera system. 🙏

Ben enough holidays give us one video on anything.

Only 3 hours of non-stop use? 😅 That won't do if we're out on a long day...

Underpowered cpu and still not great battery life, 3hrs is just pure gabage. A gaming laptop on battery can last longer than that. Imo no point being portable with less than 10 hours of use

@@tuanphamrmit Or at least 6 hours.... lol

Thank you you too! Merry Christmas happy holidays!

I wish he talked more about the battery, since that's where I expected the catch to be

On mine it shows as four 3gb lpddr5 ram sticks. Under channel it is 2x32bit. Hwinfo says "dual channel". Timing: 32-24-24-52 tRC:76 tRFC: 336 CR: 1T Dram freq: 1200mhz Mem controller freq: 300mhz. Samsung serial: 20000000 Gear 4. Ratio 6:1 FSB:DRAM. Battery life has been good. More than 3hr from my use so far, could be twice that in total. You can also charge with the ac wall adapter in one usb-c port, but the other does support charging from usb-c. It only supports some usb-c chargers. You have to test the chargers you have to determine if the charger will work with it. It may be a compatibility issue with the version of usb-c being used when charging.

Thank you!!

The color and brightness has been fine for me. The screen looks good to me and I am coming from an hp x360 spectre. The speakers are what sound subpar. I am tempted to see if the speaker inside could be replaced. It does work with usb-c to hdmi adapters at up to 4k60. I use mine in hotel rooms to hook to the tv and connect to a home media server. It is perfect. It looks very similar to the hp x360 spectre and has hinges that work in a similar way. I bought the 10.51in for myself and so far the 13.5in as a gift. n100 is the real deal. It can play 4k60 video just fine in media player apps or web browser with sites like youtube. It has 12gb of ram instead of 8gb like other cheap laptops. It has a resolution higher than crappy 1080p. The 10.51in is the new standard for win11 tablets. This is finally a small win11 laptop that is of good quality. The only feature this lacks from the hp I own is a fingerprint scanner. The portability and lightness make up for that.

There are many laptop available in 13 inch with better processor

but you dont have touch pad. i prefer that 10" one here

@@mh-no1nz I absolutely have a touchpad. It's above the keyboard, which is fine as long as you don't have child-sized hands. It's also a touchscreen.

@@nickthaskater ah ok I didn't realized. but still what a horrible place for touchpad! :)

@@mh-no1nz on something this small, it's actually pretty great. Don't knock it till you've tried it. I had a Surface Go before and this is better ergonomically in every way.

Any experience using the Win Max 2 for CAD or similar tasks? I'm about ready to shell out the money for a netbook with enough oomph to handle intense tasks but have *serious* doubts about the trackpad configuration. Any experience with the "mouse mode" sticks as well? That seems to be, if implemented well, useful for using the device without a table to set it on (very important for my use case)

Maybe it can run Hello world VM.

I would. The OnePlus is still just an Android tablet. Android apps for things like word processing, email, spreadsheets and even web browsing are garbage on Android compared to Windows. If you want to frustrate yourself trying to use gimped versions of apps, get the OnePlus. If you want to just take out a PC and get work done properly, get a Windows machine like this or one of the GPD or OneNetbook equivalent devices.

Get much better battery life from the one plus. Arm chip and all.... X86 On a machine like this... I doubt you would get two or three hours of hard workk off the charger. ... But windows is a lot more fully featured than android. I don't know if this supports external monitor but the one plus sadly does not.

​@@nickthaskaterOn the other hand,arm chips will get 4 x the battery life... and this form factor is bottlenecks by specs, not OS. Don't get me wrong there are huge advantages to having a windows device but a niche 10 inch chuwi with low end cpu... Only get seven hours of battery life when idle. I would probably split the difference and get the lenovo ideapad duet 5i. Is eleven inch screen come, much better silicon. Runs windows....detachable keyboard

@@michaelcorcoran8768 I have a 10.1" GPD Win Max 2. It has an AMD 7840U with 8 cores/16 threads, 32GB of DDR5 7500, and a 2TB PCIE5 SSD. The form factor is not limited by specs at all. I also get more than 10 hours of general use (browsing, email, word processing) thanks to its 67Wh battery. The Chuwi is simply a cheap device. It shouldn't be considered a benchmark for the form factor by any stretch.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 no point in longer battery life when you can barely do more with it than you can with your phone. At least this can get real work done.

Hi I can answer your question. I purchased this mini laptop on Amazon during black Friday. 2023 So I have had it for 2 weeks now. I love this mini laptop, the battery life is not 7 hours on full charge. ON A FULL CHARGE you will get 3 hours at best due to the small Battery 4 hours at absolute most even with adjustable battery settings on. Get it it's so portable and light weight.

Because Windows has much better app compatibility and fewer frustrating UX issues.

@@nickthaskater it really is mentioned in the video about windows auto-rotate delays, do you even watch the video?

@@8lack8bird what does auto rotate have to do with what I said or the suggestion to use a Chromebook?

Yes, it can.

There is only one 10" lapdock out there and it sucks.

​@nickthaskater Well, I would think this would be a better deal anyways, even if there were decent ten inch lap docks. I love the idea of a lap dock but Usually I encourage people running to buy tab s7 on resale. And this one runs windows.... Which is all the more convenient potentially.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 yes, agreed. I used DeX exclusively for the past three years, and the shortcomings of Android apps are just to large to ignore. Hence, I bought a GPD Win Max 2 (10.1" laptop) to use alongside my Fold 5.

Windows has been ARM compatible for years now. The Surface Pro 9 literally has an ARM version.

@@nickthaskater Yeah bt when they really commit to it ... I was a Windows phone user till 2018 ... But they didnt commit fully ... All these tablet problems etc ... Plus a small chasis + ARM Architecture (No cooling needed) could make this Chuawi a really useful device ... They need to have their own Rosetta moment ... Its been elusive since the past 9 years :P

There's the Mix 4S and Mix 5 as well, along with the GPD Win Max 2 (the most powerful option).

Oh really I'm using an android and I'm a digital nomad

@@bensgadgetreviews in that case you are in 0.1‰ of people that do that.

A MacBook Air is a lot bigger. If you're looking for a 10" laptop, a MacBook Air is not an alternative.

It died because the form factor was way ahead of the hardware. That's not the case anymore. I now have a 10" laptop with a Ryzen 7840U, 32GB DDR5, and a 67Wh battery.

@@nickthaskater what's it called and how much?

@@tenchichrono GPD Win Max 2 (2023). Around $1,000 USD.

A tablet is not a better option, especially an Android tablet. Having a real keyboard and a full-feature OS makes all the difference. Netbooks "died" because the hardware wasn't good enough at the time. We have come a long way since then. I have a 10.1" laptop with a Ryzen 7840U and 32GB DDR5 with full Windows 11 and a 67Wh battery. Better than the majority of ultrabooks put there these days, let alone an Android tablet.

@@nickthaskater I was suggesting tablets for the purposes Ben uses. As a portable device for quick replies and ease of use. This would be complimentary to a PC at home/work where you would do the grunt work.

​​@@andyH_Englandit's still not a better option. There are so many limitations and compatibility issues with tablets, be they Android or iPad even, that they're a poor alternative to a full OS. Outlook on Android and iPad OS, for example, is absolute garbage. At best, a Microsoft Surface Go is about the only real tablet alternative to this laptop, but that costs twice as much.

​@@nickthaskater The form factor and the specs sound exactly like what I'm looking for. Could you share which brand/model your laptop is?

@@linniechuan GPD Win Max 2 (2023 version with Ryzen 7840U). I got mine from Droix. 32GB RAM and 2TB storage for $1600 CAD during Black Friday.
