GPD Win Mini (2025)
Compact clamshell handheld · Active — current GPD clamshell handheld
The Win Mini packs a genuine (if cramped) QWERTY keyboard and Hall effect mini joysticks into GPD's smallest clamshell, spanning 8840U through 64 GB HX 370 configs. It drops OCuLink for USB4-only eGPU, and its fan is a known headache — it runs at 80–100% on boot/shutdown unless GPD's Motion Assistant app is actively managing the curve.
Pros
- Genuine QWERTY keyboard and Hall effect mini joysticks in a pocketable clamshell
- Wide APU spread from 8840U up to 64 GB HX 370
- AMD FreeSync VRR on a 120 Hz panel
Cons
- Fan runs at 80–100% on boot/shutdown without the Motion Assistant app actively managing it
- No OCuLink — eGPU only via USB4, with a bandwidth penalty
- L4/R4 macro buttons shipped non-functional pending firmware
