To use the GPD WIN 5 while charging a spare, you are going to need two separate chargers plugged in at once. It is not ideal if you are travelling. This is just extra weight and space taken up in your bags. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-1024x576.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The dock with peripherals connected\" class=\"wp-image-349672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-dock-with-peripherals-connected.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The dock with peripherals connected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you do get the GPD WIN 5 connected, the features work well enough. For example, the gigabit ethernet and three USB ports become available. These let you connect a keyboard, mouse, and some storage. Additionally, you can use the HDMI to output to your TV or portable monitor.
