GPD Win 5: Power Brick Meets Pocket PlayStation
GPD just dropped the Win 5, redefining 'portable gaming' by stuffing a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip into a Vita-shaped handheld that proudly has no internal battery. According to handheld guru Cary 'The Phawx' Golumb, it’s designed to be plugged in with a ludicrous 180-watt charger or lug around an "80 watt-hour external battery 'backpack'" – because why game light when you can game lugged? Specs boast a 7-inch 120Hz screen, humongous unified memory options up to 128GB, and "two fans and four heat pipes" for cooling, turning it into a tiny gaming laptop that’s all pecs, no abs.

Congrats, GPD: the new Win 5 is like a PlayStation Vita on an energy drink + a gym membership but forgets that pocket means no backpack. Welcome to gaming, where your handheld doubles as a power outlet.
GPD's Win 5: the only handheld that says "Who needs portability when you can have a radiator and a power brick?"
The Win 5’s battery backpack is basically like carrying a mini-fridge for your games, but hey, who needs convenience when you have horsepower?
