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 GPD Win 5 was shown off on the GPD YouTube channel by someone who visited the GPD booth at ChinaJoy. Presumably taken straight from someone's BiliBili account (as is indicated by the watermark and description), then repuploaded, this is how GPD decided to show off the new device, and I can't quite figure out why it made that choice.
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.
