AMD Strix Halo Gaming Handheld Requires External Power Source or Wall Connection — GPD Win 5 Lacks Built-in Battery

Sure thing, let’s dive into this whirlwind of thoughts about the GPD Win 5. This new gadget is like the latest shiny toy from GPD—this thing’s got the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in it, which sounds all high-tech and jazzy. I watched this video on The Phawx channel—PhawxTV. Yeah, that channel totally spilled the beans on the specs, including this crazy big 80Wh battery that you can actually remove! I know, right? Everyone’s sealing batteries in, but GPD is like, “Nah, man, let’s keep it removable.” Makes life so much easier when you’re gaming hardcore, and suddenly, wham! The power is out—just swap it like changing socks.

Now that I’m thinking of it, it seems the whole external battery deal means you don’t have to carry all that weight while gaming. Just set it on the table and tether the thing to your console. It’s almost like having a pet battery… sitting there while you game. Is that weird?

Speaking of choices—they’re offering another chip, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385. Not as beefy, but hey, not everyone’s racing in the GPU Olympics. Real talk—the RAM options are nuts. Like, you could opt for 32GB or max out at 128GB! For a handheld. Unbelievable. And one M.2 NVMe slot with choices from 1TB to 4TB. That’s a lot of games… or whatever else you might need a ton of storage for. Just saying.

The new display, though—7 inches, 120 Hz, full 1080p—fantastic upgrade from the older 6-inch screen. And it’s got Gorilla Glass 6. Yeah, I know, that glass is from 2018, which feels ancient, but hey, better to have that glass than accidentally turn your screen into a spider’s web.

Apparently, they’re showing this thing off at ChinaJoy 2025 on August 1. Sounds futuristic already, huh? Fingers crossed it won’t cost an arm and a leg, so more folks can enjoy this cool piece of tech.

And oh, before I drift away into another realm of distracted thoughts, keep an eye on Tom’s Hardware on Google News. They’ve got all the latest scoops on gadgetry like this. Keep scrolling through their news feed—you never know what tech treasure you’ll stumble upon next.
