You're not getting the form factor nor the games. The Smach Z is a much better candidate, with 1080p, modular but already powerful hardware (you can run Fallout 4 720p with config tweaking at 30+ FPS, GTA V and other titles with similar performance) and 10x times more powerful than the shitty Bay Trail in the GPD Win. And not to mention it's the same price as the GPD Win. If you want to emulate console exclusives from last generation on the go along with AAA titles and the freedom of Windows, then you'll get the Smach Z. If you want the exclusives, form factor and the price tag which is and will become even more so cheaper. |
That is certainly a great option if it is indeed more powerful as you say. The only things I dont like much about it are the controls and the form factor, but I guess it can grow on me.
The advantages I see on these devices over the Switch is the fact that you already have hundreds of games available to play. And also that you can use these devices for many tasks besides gaming.
