IndieGogo - Windows 10 GPD Handheld -299$ "A Laptop Fitting in Your Pocket"
- Thread starter MUnited83
- Start date
I know this is way premature, but...
The performance for this first batch of x86 windows handhelds (GPD Win, Smach Zero) seems really awesome! That said, how much better could a theoretical "next year's model" be? Is it possible we could see PS4/XB1 games running at playable framerates/low settings/720p before those consoles are retired?

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
How would anyone know
Consider yourself lucky, DHL on my country seem to be run by corrupt pieces of shit and would charger 150 import duty for this easily, maybe more.

These are already niche devices as it is, and a very expensive, large device is probably not going to sell well. I'd venture a guess that no, probably not. The Switch will probably get some multi platform games and ports though.

For anyone interested in updating their BIOS, this is what to expect:

Does the bios work on both 8700 and 8750

Seems to be the case. But its not necessary to update your BIOS.
They've finally updated the tracking numbers with a ton more added.
Mine's been shipped, it way picked up sometime in the past 36 hours and DHL's tracker estimates it'll arrive tomorrow by end of day.
Also as a warning a ton of people have been getting hit by customs in the UK.

Got a call from DHL today about it. I reckon I'm going to be hit by this.

It's really hard to tell: it jumps around a lot. The "October 31" file goes up to 15586304. There are some high numbers in the "DHL" file early on (goes up to 17487283), but it seems to sort of go in order after that, up to 15609574.
Other than asking people to check, there's also no way to translate the "IGG Pledge ID" to "GPD Win Order ID," but counting the non-header rows in the documents:
DHL - 489
Oct 19 - 80
Oct 22 - 80
Oct 25 - 294
Oct 31 - 81
Total: 1024 dispatched
I think I saw Order IDs up to 2300 or so, so they are under halfway done with dispatching.

Yeah, doing a simple extrapolation, it took them 11 days to send 1024 units. That's approximately 93 units/day.
(2400-1024) = 1376 units remaining
1376 units / 93 units per day = 14.8 ~= 15 days
Give it ~two weeks for shipping, and you are looking at the end of November for delivery to orders in the back of the queue. That's what I'm expecting at least (backer in the 2200 range).
If it's not already included they'll add a handling fee too, they're totally illegal and you can just send them an email telling them you won't pay it. Plenty of templates people have posted if you Google, worked for me every time.

My Geekbuying EMS shipment just made it through ISC SAN FRANCISCO, which I'm assuming also means it cleared customs. It should be coming this week, then, because at this point it's treated like a USPS Express shipment and I'm only a couple of states away from California.
Edit: I lied, just got a follow-up status update, inbound into customs now. Go GPD, go!
Edit 2: Looks like it cleared customs with haste this morning, and just arrived at a USPS location in San Francisco. At this point it could even come tomorrow, maybe? Won't get my hopes up too high, though.

Yep. DHL are outright scammers. How are they still in business I'll never know.

I refuse to look up the IGG tracking number. I want to come home and be surprised...presumably in 2017.

Mine is at Hong Kong International Airport. Hopefully by next week I'll have it!
An OT sounds good. Especially to share configs and stuff.
Believe BernardoOne said he\she would be interested in making a OT, if they are still interested of course.

Someone in California has a Z8750 model on eBay.
Not sure if any of you might be interested in it.
There's a little less than 2 days to go and it has 1 bid for $299 so far.
The last shipping update I had when I left for work this morning showed the package had left Hong Kong and I just rechecked tracking and its now in Cincinnati Ohio.
I misread the time this morning but its been roughly 40 hours since DHL picked up the package from GPD in Shenzhen, nearly half of which has been of it on a cargo aircraft.
GPD definitely did not cheap out when it came to shipping.

Wow, that's impressive. I guess my "assume two weeks for shipping" line above was off-base. But off-base in the good direction!
I was thinking about the shipping too the other day -- they must've taken quite a hit on the logistics, but I guess it makes up for the previous delay.

So how does PS2 emulation fare on this thing? Is it hit or miss or do most games run alright on it? Thinking about grabbing one.

Expect more misses than hits. KH1 runs well though. I'm optimistic about Vulkan stuff but the PCSX2 devs have dismissed the newer apis, for now at least.

Argh, that's a bummer. Saw your video that KH was running well on it and thought other games would fare just as well 
Are you planning on making more PCSX2 tests/videos?

Yea, right now I just want to show off Linux running and hopefully a working vulkan driver and Pillars of Eternity.
I was going to do 2D PS2 games sometime later.

Did all IGG backers get this address incomplete email?

I did.
Also Xubuntu on GPD Win. Linux works well enough, just gonna need some love.

I did as well. And my order ID number is in the 1600's. I downloaded the tracking spread sheet and those numbers have more digits than my order ID one. They told me to look for my pledge ID number and I have no clue what and where the hell that is on indiegogo. I have no clue whether mine shipped, didn't ship yet, or even if they have all of my information complete in order to ship one to me in the first place.

Your pledge ID should have been included in your Contribution Confirmation email from IndieGogo. I don't know any other way to find it.
