Who is the target audience for this, exactly?
>>722648983Retards who can't afford the Switch 2
>>722648983Before the Deck,Ally,Claw and Legion Go, the average handheld PC's price involved a comma. I don't know how these Chinese companies intend to compete now that they don't control the market. I have one of the first AyaNeos, but I hardly touch it now that I have an Ally.
>>722649058retard
You could buy a ps5 slim for yourself, your sibling, and your cousin at the same price as getting ONE base model GPD WIN 5
>>722648983Hey they isn't a CDPR apology!
>>722648983Influencers.>Buy it>Review it>Write it off as a business expense on taxes>Sell it later>Make money off of it
The Win 5 is a mistake all-around compared to the Win 4>physical huge compared to previous model>tethered to an external battery>sliding screen and physical keyboard removed>overkill APU marketed towards AIWhat did GPD fucking mean by this?
>>722649058its 4 times the price of the shit 2
>>722650106GPD Lose 5GPD Lose 5 grand
>>722648983I don't know, but seeing as how they don't include any specs on there, they're embarrassed about them. Meant for dumb people who don't care as long as they're spending more.
>>722649871Meanwhile you could get a stinky eck for like $300 and play 99% of the exact same gamesWhich one does GPD think I'm going to buy?
>>722648983The GPD Win 1 was based back in the dayLoved this little fella, bitch burns your hand after 40 minutes but you could see the potential (that turned into what handhelds are today)KINO
>>722648983Anyone that can afford a PC Handheld. But I would recommend people use SteamOS version.
>>722650502Charming little buggerI bet it's still valuable for indie and emulated games even now
>>722650502I had a Win 2 running the official Ubuntu Mate image, GTA 5 barely ran, cranking up PS1 games to 720p with PGXP warp correction had performance drops, and if was loud as fuck. Sold it for half of what i paid for it because it really didn't do what i needed it to do. Picked up an Ayaneo Slide recently and I'm happy with it but I'd still love another clamshell handheld
>>722650502I wish companies would go back to doing experimental stuff like that, every notebook and smartphone looks the same now.
>>722649180Handheld PCs have always been in a weird limbo, the form factor suggests business use but doing any work on a tiny 7" screen sucks plus the battery drains too fast. Gamers would be a perfect target because a fully fledged PC that can run fully fledged PC games was any gamer dream but the ergonomics on these machines were always dogshit. It took the Steam Deck to finally get something viable in that segment.
>>722648983>Who is the target audience for this, exactly?The same retards that backed the Ouya. And there are LOTS of them.
>>722649692They get this shit send en masse for free, months before release, they don't even have to buy it.Being a normal consumer in this day and age really is >>722650502lazy pandora clone

>>722648983Not poorfags obviously, lmao.
>>722649383why buy a dead console which has yearly payments?
>>722648983you underestimate the amount of ludicrously rich asian people.
>>722648983>early 30's>have wife>both make good enough money>monthy costs pretty low, save a few K each month>suddenly have 100k, who the fuck cares still not rich>nice number tho>buy a new monitor each year, new gpu each gen, Ally X, switch oled, 3 oled tvs>still have tons of moneyI was that guy before I had children.Seriously, if your not into going out much or cars and you're not a fucking retard, there's not that much to do with money
>>722648983people who really really really wanna play modern games on a handheld i guess
>>722650502Wasnt the NVIDIA SHIELD the first of these nuhandhelds?
>>722648983>no trackpadsPeople who want to play console games and have a lot of money.
>>722651648I bought one of these. A few years later after the last "we're definitely sending out the next batch of these, honest!" emails, I went on the forums and asked if I'm ever going to get one. They said no because the guy who was delivering to Australia/UK took all the money and ran. The mere mention of this piece of shit makes me so fucking bitter.

>>722648983Niggers who are region-locked out of a Steam Deck
>>722648983>Who is the target audience for this, exactly?capitalists who will pay you to design, produce, market and fail to sell this shit
I boughted a Steam Deck finally last week, and it's been fun. I've been playing the Wii version of Little King's Story and Fantasy Life i on it so far. I also bought Kingdom Hearts to play next since a friend has been asking me to play it for years.
>>722648983The target audience is autistic people.Handhelds as a market has been knee capped by the Steam Deck. The only reason to get a handheld is because you're moving often and won't have the time or space for a laptop, in which case, you don't need to be playing the latest games, you just need to do something.Buying a handheld should be the difference between "I either doomscroll or I play some video game".
>>722650502>pocketable We need to go back.
>>722648983People with throw away money>>722650502I've always wanted one, I miss physical keyboards on handheld devices. They've never been affordable though, unfortunately.
>>722650530I can afford 12 of these. That doesn't make it a good deal.
>>722648983wow couldn't they think of a worse placement for the turn on button? I might accidentally NOT press it sometimes.
>>722648983>small underpowered piece of shit>huge pricetagdoesn't make any sense, why are they like this bros? small and shitty should = cheap
>>722649871>overkill APU marketed towards AIThat's the point, doesn't matter if it is AI branded, it still is the best portable APU in the market right now.The GPD5 is just a vanity project, a """"portable""""" that can run every single game in the market at high to max settings. If you got the money to spend on ridiculous gadgets, this is it.
>>722659426>small underpowered piece of shitIt is the most powerful portable device in the market, by far. Comparable to a mid-range gaming laptop.
>>722649058did you even read the image before replying?
>>722660552and my dick is the most powerful portable device ever made, yet nobody wants it even for free. Retarded argument
>>722660638Your dick has no test run, if nobody wants it, so you can't prove it is the real deal. Meanwhile the GPD5 has gotten benchmarks available and videos of games being maxed out on it.
