The 2025 GPD Win MAX 2 represents the single biggest performance leap in the history of the Max series. By moving to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Strix Point) architecture, GPD has created a machine that doesn't just "handle" games—it dominates them.1 This is no longer just a mini-laptop with a GPU; it is a portable AI workstation and a high-end gaming console fused into a single 10.1-inch frame.




The "Strix Point" Revolution: Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

The jump from the previous 8840U to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is massive.2 This isn't just a minor refresh; it’s a total overhaul of the silicon.

  • 12-Core Powerhouse: Featuring 12 cores and 24 threads (combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores), it offers up to a 45% boost in multi-threaded performance over the previous generation.3



  • Radeon 890M Graphics: The new RDNA 3.5 architecture brings 16 Compute Units (up from 12).4 Synthetic benchmarks show a 25-30% jump in graphics power, outperforming dedicated mobile GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX 2050.5


  • 50 TOPS NPU: The dedicated AI engine (XDNA 2) makes this one of the most powerful "AI PCs" on the market, ready for the next generation of Windows 11 Copilot+ features and local AI development.6

Display & Form Factor: The 10.1" Masterpiece

The Win MAX 2 maintains its unique "clamshell" design, which remains the most versatile form factor in the handheld market.

  • 2.5K Resolution: The 10.1-inch IPS display supports up to 2560 x 1600.7 With 299 PPI, visuals are pin-sharp, and the 16:10 aspect ratio provides more vertical space for coding and spreadsheets.8


  • Hidden Gaming Controls: The magnetic covers return—keep them on for a professional laptop look in meetings, or slide them off (and store them in the back) to reveal Hall Effect joysticks and analog triggers.9



  • Full QWERTY Keyboard: Unlike smaller handhelds, the keyboard on the Max 2 is large enough for touch-typing, making it a legitimate laptop replacement for travel.10

  • Dual SSD Slots: It comes with a 2TB 2280 drive, but it also has a spare M.2 2230 slot, allowing you to carry massive libraries (up to 8TB+ total storage) in your pocket.13



  • Next-Gen Cooling: The 2025 model features a redesigned cooling module and a larger turbofan to handle the 35W TDP of the HX 370 while keeping the keyboard deck comfortable.14

The Verdict

The GPD Win MAX 2 (2025) is for the user who refuses to compromise. It is a powerful business laptop at 9:00 AM and a high-performance gaming rig at 6:00 PM. With the addition of the 890M GPU, you can finally play demanding AAA titles at 1080p without leaning heavily on upscaling.15



Pro Tip: Because the Radeon 890M is so powerful, you can comfortably allocate 12GB–16GB of the 32GB RAM as dedicated VRAM in the BIOS for high-texture gaming.16
