Who would have thought that taking a Single Board Computer with a (long in the tooth) dual-core processor, (just) 512 MB RAM, a (decent) 320x240 display and a (beautifully tactile) d-pad could reincarnate lost childhoods. Such a brilliant product!

Loving being back to my childhood and playing where u want. Be better once lockdown down is done

Amazing service. Ordered the RG351M and was delivered within 2 days by DPD. Am happy with the quality of the build by Anbernic.. feels weighty in my hands and there’s a good selection of pre installed games. Once I upgrade the operating system to ArkOS, I’m sure the performance will be stellar!!

Well done guys. You have won they hearts of all 30+ year olds who are stuck in lockdown wondering what the hell to do to kill time.

You are like a Genie in a bottle with the three best wishes there is.

A big thanks.
Kind Regards
A Millenial

So far no issues streaming movies, TV excellent

The GPD WIN Max is truly a very nice and powerful little computer. Don't expect to play things like Cyberpunk on it, but for older games, its just perfect. I have been playing things like Borderlands 1 up to 3, Thief, Grid (2019), Dirt Rally 2.0 etc, and a load of smaller games like Dead Cells, and Hades. Handles emulation very well, up to Ps2 levels. I prefer this over my Switch as it has a bigger screen (for my old eyes), and I also think the controls seem better. For example, playing Borderlands on the Switch never felt like the controls were very smooth, but on the Max, it plays brilliantly.

Admittedly, it is a little expensive, and is very much a premium device, but it allows me to take my Desktop PC gaming on the go.

After having this lovely console for a few weeks I can safely say it is well worth it. I love playing it, I love holding it, I love looking at it, it's thoroughly excellent.

I would like to mention the control options as I was curious myself. Everything up to PS1 is amazing, but when you start getting into PS1 games that need frequent use of all the shoulder buttons I do find it tricky. It's certainly doable - I've been playing Descent PS1 which is a six degrees of freedom shooter, so it does require a lot of control. This little console can do it well, even without the analogue sticks, but pressing the L2 and R2 buttons frequently can get tiring on the hands so it's not great for longer sessions. You can just switch over to another game when your fingers get tired, of course.

It's also worth noting that some PS1 games are not as generous with they key rebinding as Descent is. For example, Quake 2 only offers a few options so you are left with looking up and down using L2 and R2 as possiblity the best option. What's remarkable is that there are so few PS1 games that really suffer from a lack of analogue sticks, and in those cases you can still make do even if it is not ideal. This leaves you with a huge range of games that play excellently in a compact handheld that I am still amazed by. The slight control sacrifices are absolutely worth it for the vast majority of games that are not affected.

I actually can't quite believe how much joy I've got out of this in the week or so I've owned it. Lovely to hold, ridiculously portable, everything seems to just work. Worked my way through my childhood Game Boy collection and now exploring some PS1 and SNES games. I love it to bits and am very happy I decided to go for it.

Fan a little noisy!, otherwise everything is fine.

Love this system, finally a handheld that plays classics and is easy to use. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys retro gaming

Pleased with this box easy to use even though we have only been using it a few days

Excellent little portable machine with so much power, it can play all of my Triple A games without so much as a stutter. I would recommend the Win Max to anybody interested in playing games on the go, top notch. 👍

Fast delivery and really good console!

Works great with my android box & fast delivery, my box wouldn’t turn on with the remote but pairing it with the old one sorted it out

Brilliant controller. Wanted something to use with Steam and this works perfectly. Comfortable and has the familiarity of the PS layout. Can't complain at the price either. Would definitely recommend.
