GPD WIN Max 3 Hands-On Shows Swappable Battery, Three Ryzen AI Max+ Models
The three-model lineup topping out at 698,000 yen puts the WIN Max 3 well above mainstream handheld pricing, so GPD is selling a configurable laptop-style machine rather than competing on price with portable game consoles.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
GPD showed working units of the GPD WIN Max 3 at Highbeam Akihabara Main Store on October 23, ahead of its December 25 release. The clamshell gaming PC has a 9.06-inch OLED display, gamepad controls flanking the keyboard, and a battery that can be swapped out for an optional fan module. Three models differ by SoC, memory, and storage, with prices from 308,000 yen to 698,000 yen.
The battery sits in the front of the body and doubles as a small palm rest, and the machine runs from an AC adapter with the battery pulled out. A cover hides the resulting cavity, or holds an optional fan module priced at 8,800 yen (4,400 yen bundled with the body). GPD CEO Wade Wang joined the store event online and said the design emphasizes SoC performance; company graphs put the integrated Radeon 8060S slightly above a GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU in 3DMark Time Spy and above Intel Arc parts on performance per watt as power rises.
