Does anyone here have a GPD win? Thinking about getting it for long trips.

Yeah I got one, few tips
Don't play big games like Skyrim, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, pretty much anything that's counted as a big PC game on it for too long, it's designed to play Indie games and small games, like Minecraft and emulation
The devs themselves have said not to marathon games like Skyrim on it because you'll just burn the system out, the thing overheats insanely fast even with the version with extra cooling
Be careful as fuck with it, I've known people who have cracked the screen by closing it too hard and have broken the joysticks by playing fighting games too hard with it
Buy a big SD card, the internal storage is insanely small, and after installing windows you have about 35-40 gigs of space left, leaving room for really only one big game and a bunch of small ones
If you try running big games off the SD card, they lag and crash like crazy, the system isn't powerful enough to read games from the SD card as they're being played
UNPLUG IT WHEN IT'S FULLY FUCKING CHARGED, I can't stress this enough, the battery is great but it's been known to literally melt and pop when plugged in too long, don't keep it charged if it's at 100%, that's how you damage the battery
BUY IT FROM NEWEGG, DO NOT BUY IT FROM GEEKBUYING, I can't stress this enough, Geekbuying will send you the GPD XD NOT the GPD WIN and tell you "Tough shit no refunds" if you buy it from Newegg or Ebay they'll have your back if something goes wrong
It's a risk buying one of these things because there are a million threads about people not getting it or it arriving completely broken or the wrong model
Good luck and God speed, I love mine and have had no problems with it, but I think that's just luck.
