Can you try the following games:

1.) Shogun 2 Total War
2.) City XL DeLuxe
3.) Crusader Kings II

Also, can this run the following software:

1.) AutoCAD 2017
2.) SketchUp Pro 2017
3.) 3DS Max 2017

Hope to hear from you.

I think this is promising.

ok! In fact, these can be run, I can not judge can judge.

Hello,

How hot will this go?  Should we need to redo the heat paste like I did on my GPD Pocket?

GPD Pocket is a nice product and I love it.  One thing concern me though is the heat, and it hang when used intensively.  Will this ever happen to GPD Win 2?

WIN 2 TPD 15W, strong heat dissipation, no WIN 1 and pocket hot, do not worry, do not change the heat.

I hope there is variation like gpd win 2 PRO or something where we can get higher specs like 16gb ram then 512GB ssd option. i dont mind spending $1000 if im getting better specs. thanks! btw i have the gpd pocket, and its great. always wanted the gpd win after purchasing gpd pocket but the specs was too low for me.

Ok, thanks for your support!
However, WIN 2 will not be so high on the configuration, SSD can be purchased and installed, recommended Transcend.

Cheers!

Will consider!

$ 599.00 is a bargain.  I can pay up to $ 899.00 for this.

@ Ben Hopkins / cuberootg,

$ 100.00 or more for a 16gb RAM?  Count me in.

There is really no high-profile plan, but the future will be considered.

Larry Timberson wrote:$799.00 for 16gb RAM is not bad.  I know this is too much for most of you, but hey... I can pay more to get the max out of what I buy.

Please go for 16gb RAM.

ok!

16GB meaning is indeed not big.

cuberootg wrote:I saw in the driving in GTA V gameplay where it showed if you are driving fast and rendering to much of the environment as you go along, the ram reaches its limit therefore you need to restart the game. Based from tech stuff I read as well one said that the current motherboard or chip of the gpd win2 can only max at 12gb ram? i really hope we can do some kind of workaround in the ram and ssd options. Im really optimistic about this second gen gpd win. id definitely back it on day 1!

Even if the memory is fully occupied, windows virtual cache can also be used, and SSDs are fast.

The graphic card I believe is Intel 615, and that's a shared one.  So we really need the 16gb RAM or we tap the pagefile which can greatly slow the game.  

Also, Core M3 7Y30 supports 16gb RAM.

I am willing to go 16gb RAM at additional $100.00 for GPD WIN 2 coz believe me, 8gb won't make it on the higher AAA games.  Also, to the admin and the developers, please consider the 16gb seriously.  It is not about the cost that no one wants to pledge.  It is the capacity that matter.  We don't have that chance to upgrade it after we bought it, do we?  

Overall, great job.

The true meaning of 16GB is that you can virtualize 8GB of space into a hard disk, and then put the game on a virtual hard disk, running very fast.

External Hub with RJ45 connector.

This is a good idea. Now I know I must have 16 GB! There is a lot of free software to create a RAM disk:

But there is no 16GB GPD WIN 2, haha！

Then make GPD WIN 2 16gb RAM.

Here is another $100.00. Do it... I beg you... huhuhu...

I vote 16gb RAM.

I don't mind the extra $100.00.

I am willing to pay for $100.00 for 16gb RAM.

me too. i dont mind paying extra for 16GB ram!

16 GB of RAM is definitely worth an extra $100. I could probably use up to 64 GB RAM. I currently use 32 GB RAM.

So.. in preparing for this gpd win2 in a few days. i was looking for storage to make it more capable of having more games and not bring extra memory card. i was looking for ssd storage which apparently the biggest was 512gb. I wished they used the longer ssd so we can jack it up to 2TB. Anyway, i was this brand king spec which is way cheaper than transcend. i also saw it was used in one of the videos here as well.

What do you guys think about this brand. should this suffice? or getting the transcend brand will give more reasonable speed boost vs the cheaper kingspec brand?

which one will you go for guys if you are to choose?

thanks for anyone who will reply.

also i wonder what ram is used on the gpd win2? i was thinking if it was really 8gb. can we opt for replacing it with higher and have it reinstall or solder by expert?

Sorry, there is really no upgrade plan!

However, do not rule out the follow-up we launched their own research and development of SSD.

The next generation of products, we will consider the 16GB RAM!
