The GPD Win 5 is looking to be a strange device. An AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming handheld that lacks any internal battery, it doesn't have the benefit of a keyboard like a laptop or the portability of, well, every other gaming handheld. I felt confused when it was announced last week, and now that there's twenty minutes showing the device off, I feel even more confused.

The videographer in question not only got hands-on with the device and managed to test it, but they also brought along a thermal camera to get an idea of the temperatures of the device. Effectively, you can either choose to plug the Win 5 directly into the mains via a dock at the bottom or port on the top, or you can snap on an external battery to the back of the device.
