LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THING. Liked the First one they put out, and this is just so much better in EVERY WAY, sad about the lack of a LAN port, but, we get so many ports. I maxed mine out with 4TB of boot, 2TB of support, and 1TB SD and 1TB micro, for 8TB onboard storage. Just because.I didn't find it uncomfortable to play for long periods of time, and does have outdoor visible (barely, tested it with Dead Cells which is naturally a dark game) screen. Like that you can use touch, trackpad or joysticks to navigate with. Also like when you're in BIOS, you can switch to mouse and keyboard mode, use the LEFT THUMBSTICK and L3 to navigate BIOS since the arrow keys and Enter, make it awkward to do so when holding it.There are a few things to note that are SUPER ANNOYING:1) Drivers, you can go to their site, but they use Google Drive to host the files, which means a lot of people have been trying to download their Win 4 drivers and Google has annoying policies on limiting traffic to DRIVE and will block downloads if there is "TOO MUCH TRAFFIC" , meaning most of the time, you can't download the drives.2) If you do a clean install of Windows 11, say goodbye to the finger print reader, and I have tried many driver install software, they see it, but can't download it. Googling the driver manually to pull from the vendor's site is a no-go as well. Windows won't pull the driver themselves either. And again, GPD Win's hosting is barred by GOOGLE DRIVE TRAFFIC LIMITATIONS.3) For whatever reason, running the RAM at 6400M/T causes it to crash, NO CLUE why. Would load up a game, even if 2D, and CRASH. Just a black screen, nothing shown. NOT A "Blue Screen of DEATH", just black screen. So just drop it one level and you'll be good to go.4) The blue-light filter (which yellows up the screen) has a weird screen door effect. Hard to describe but makes the image ever so slightly grainy.4TB on Win Max 2's 2280 port?I did a lot of research, and there are two limiting factors which I found out after HOURS OF RESEARCH, literally:1) physical space inside, hence why this can only support 1 sided NVME sticks.2) POWER DRAWSo, apparently 4TB draws more power than 2TB does, but there is ONE STICK that I've found and currently employ in mine, thanks to REDDIT, that both sates the power limitation and space limitation. CRUCIAL P3 Pro 4TB. Tried the Western Digital offering, which fit fine since they put the DRAM chip on the underside which made it okay for space, but learned that DRAM is where the increased power draw comes from. Crucial's is DRAM-LESS. Which removes that excess power as well. And I just learned from a review on Amazon, that you can get the full fat Gen 4 7000+GB/s experience by downloading the CACHE software from Crucial's site.IN CONCLUSION:Yeah, totally recommend this. It's great. Has so many input options: touch screen, MPP 2.0 pens, track pad and keyboard, and controller. Has so many ports on it as well, except for LAN, sadly. SIGH. I went for 32 and 1TB since I did plan on installing a bigger internal SSD, but needed that RAM for how bad I am at TAB management and how bad Mozilla is at RAM utilization. This is basically my emulator machine, don't try to run any current gen 3D games on it. I'll go Sonic Generations at most on this.
