I Tried running Expresii on a GPD Win Max 2 (2023) with AMD Ryzen 7840U, 32GB RAM. It's actually more like a small laptop than a handheld, as it is a bit heavy to hold for a period of time. It is very responsive running Expresii. Please check out the demo featuring the use of G-sensor for intuitive digital watercolor paint flow:
Why gaming handheld PC? Because they have fast GPUs yet they are compact. I confirm that the Win Max 2 can connect to an external nvidia GPU for both cases of using Thunderbolt and Oculink. That would be useful if you do AI development as today most AI code ran on Nvidia rather than on an AMD (their ROCm 7.0 is still not officially released yet!). Wake up from sleep on Windows 11 of this deivce (7840U) is immediate on par with a desktop PC. In comparison, my older 6800U OneXPlayer 2 sometimes takes quite a while to wake up. So far I'm quite happy with the Win Max 2 .
wobble tests for MPP-based pen displays
Many MPP (Microsoft Pen Protocol) 2.0 pen displays exhibit certain level of wobbling for slow diagonal lines. Luckily the GPD Win Max 2 only exhibit slight wobbles:
For comparision, here is the slight wobbles given by a Surface Pro 8:
Line test on Surface Pro 8
For comparision, the 6800U OneXPlayer 2 supporting the same MPP 2.0 protocol pens gives a bit more wobbles:
Hopefully their newer models like the OneXPlayer X1 Air can give less wobbles.
