The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gpd-win-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"GPD WIN 5\">GPD WIN 5<\/a> measures around 10.5 x 4.3 x 0.95 inches (26.7 x 11.1 x 2.4 cm). Furthermore, it weighs approximately 565g (1.24 lbs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the external battery pack measures around 4.36 x 4.34 x 0.71 inches (11.07 x 11.03 x 1.81 cm) and weighs about 350g (0.77 lbs). This combination makes the GPD WIN 5 a very versatile portable gaming PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-1024x576.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"341462\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"GPD WIN 5 Review\" class=\"wp-image-341462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Dimensions.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A GPD WIN 5 in all its glory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-1024x576.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"341437\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"GPD WIN 5 Battery\" class=\"wp-image-341437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GPD-WIN-5-Battery.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The GPD WIN 5 Battery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The GPD WIN 5 Display: A 120Hz VRR Upgrade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the front of the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gpd-win-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"GPD WIN 5\">GPD WIN 5<\/a> is a great-looking 7-inch touchscreen.

In this test, it got around 42 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, while idle on the desktop at 55W TDP and 50% brightness, we got around 9 hours. Average usage will vary depending mainly on the TDP.

This means it has a massive 256-bit memory bus (similar to a PS5) which feeds the Radeon 8060S graphics, preventing the bandwidth bottlenecks seen in other handhelds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>CPU<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/processor-cpu-brand\/amd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"AMD\">AMD<\/a> <a data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/processor-cpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-395\/\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/processor-cpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-395\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RYZEN AI MAX+ 395<\/a>, 16-Core, 32-Threads, ZEN 5, Up to 5.1 GHz, 126 TOPS<br>AMD <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/processor-cpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-385-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"RYZEN AI MAX 385\">RYZEN AI MAX 385<\/a>, 8-Core , 16-Threads, ZEN 5, Up to 5 GHz, 106 TOPS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>GPU<\/strong><\/td><td><a data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/graphics-gpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-395-radeon-8060s\/\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/graphics-gpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-395-radeon-8060s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AMD Radeon 8060S<\/a> (Integrated), RDNA 3.5, 40 CUs (2560 Stream Processors), 2.9 GHz, AMD FreeSync Premium<br><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/graphics-gpu-model\/ryzen-al-max-385-radeon-8050s-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"AMD Radeon 8050S\">AMD Radeon 8050S<\/a> (Integrated), 32CUs, 2.8 GHz, AMD FreeSync Premium,<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>RAM<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 128GB <a data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/memory-ram-technology\/lpddr5x\/\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/memory-ram-technology\/lpddr5x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LPDDR5x<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/graphics-gpu-memory\/shared-w-ram-capacity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Unified Memory\">Unified Memory<\/a>, 8000 MT\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>STORAGE<\/strong><\/td><td>1 TB \/ 2 TB \/ 4 TB M.2 <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/storage-technology\/nvme-pci-e-gen-4-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"NVMe\">NVMe<\/a> Slot (2280) PCIe Gen4, Single-sided SSD<br>1x <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/storage-expansion\/1x-mini-ssd-card-slot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mini SSD Card slot\">Mini SSD Card slot<\/a> PCIe Gen4 x1<br>1x <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/storage-expansion\/1x-micro-sd-card-slot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Micro SD card slot\">Micro SD card slot<\/a> SD 3.0 Protocol<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>DISPLAY<\/strong><\/td><td>7-inch, <a data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/refresh-rate\/120hz\/\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/refresh-rate\/120hz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">120Hz<\/a>, <a data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/aspect-ratio\/169\/\" href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/product-attribute\/aspect-ratio\/169\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">16:9<\/a>, Native Landscape Gaming Screen, AMD FreeSync Premium, 100% sRGB, 315 PPI, 500 NITS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CONTROLS<\/strong><\/td><td>Capacitive Joystick (Esports FPS grade, zero dead zone, zero drift)<br>Hall Effect Triggers (Dual-mode long\/short thread, 0.1mm accuracy, &lt;0.1ms response)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>POWER &amp;

The GPD WIN series has always featured a keyboard of some design, so it is a bit disappointing that the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.co.uk\/product\/gpd-win-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"GPD WIN 5\">GPD WIN 5<\/a> does not have one. But to be fair, do you really need it? Most other handhelds, including the Steam Deck, do not have one. Sure, it&#8217;s nice to have for typing quick messages and shortcuts, but it&#8217;s not the end of the world, and everything for this review was done without a physical keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which RAM option should you go for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The GPD WIN 5 is available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB RAM variations. We would recommend the 32GB RAM handheld if you are on a budget and want to save a few dollars on overall costs. The majority of games will run fine with shared RAM at 1080P resolution and average graphics settings. We recommend the 64GB RAM handheld if you want to future-proof and have multiple software open.
