The year is ending, but that is not why we are going to stop seeing new portable consoles with which to be able play AAA games anywhere and anytime. The last to appear is the GPD Win 4a spectacular console that directly bets on all the hardware that you could put on a device with its characteristics.
Better than Steam Deck
That is how clear those responsible for the brand are when defining their console. On the website of the crowdfunding project in which the product has been published, they define the console as the laptop with a processor AMD 6800U smallest on the market, and they also assure that it is better than the Steam Deck, especially since it is compatible with SteamOS operating system.
But as we said, there is no detail that this GPD Win 4 misses, since, to begin with, its compact body (possible thanks to the fact that the screen is 6 inches) hides a keyboard with which we can easily type when we need to configure details in Windows, search for a game title and even chat.
Its technical characteristics are incredible:
- AMD R7-6800U processor
- AMD Radeon 680M GPU
- Up to 32 GB of LPDD5 RAM
- Up to 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD
- 6-inch Full HD display with Gorilla Glass 5
- Wi-Fi 6 (optional 4G module)
- USB 4, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB-A 3.1 Gen 2
- 45.62Wh battery
Remember the PS Vita
The design is clearly a homage to the PlayStation Portable or PS Vita. One only has to take a look at the transparent buttons and upper triggers to quickly recall the design of the first PlayStation portable console. Even so, GPD Win 4 has its own charactersince the sliding screen reveals the integrated keyboard, and details such as the fingerprint reader or the illuminated triggers (with customizable color), make it stand out from other options.
How much?
As is normal for this type of device, the official prices are dangerously close to 1,000 euros. In the case of this GPD Win 4, the most basic model with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage is being offered in the Indiegogo campaign for 755 euros, while the most complete model with 32 GB and 2 TB amounts to 1,133 euros. All the units have an expected shipping date of March 2023, so if you buy one you will have to wait a few months to have it in your hands.
