Games Frames Measurement

WIN 3 users should have a good understanding of Intel Tiger Lake UP3’s performances while gaming. Not only WIN Max 2021 has an Intel Tiger Lake UP3 version, but it has an AMD Ryzen 7 4800U version aswell. What are the performance difference between this two types of processor in game? The following table depicts the frame rate value in low settings at the 1280×800 resolution in several games:

*Note

Testing environment: i7-1185G7 / R7 4800U, 16GB LPDDR4x 4266, 1TB NVMe SSD, 1280×800, Windows 10 Home 20H2. The previous games are from low to medium settings.It can be seen that on i7-1185G7 WIN Max 2021 based, game frame rate is generally much higher, thanks to the Intel Iris Xe GFX core!

8 Inch screen,800 p resolution , the smoothest and more balanced gaming experiece.

WIN Max 2021 has an 8-inch H-IPS panel, the 5th generation Corning Gorilla Glass screen. The display area is 133% larger than the previous generation, with 67% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, flickerless, 350-nits brightness. The pixel density is twice higher than a 24-inch/1080P display, and the horizontal viewing angle is as high as 178°. It supports 10-point touch, the default resolution is 1280×800, which perfectly supports old games with 1024×768 resolution (4:3).

Is it true that the higher the resolution, the better? Let’s talk about the misconception around high resolution screens!

With an 8-inch screen with only a physical resolution of 1280×800, game visual quality and experience are better! Reducing the resolution in order to get higher frame rate in game will cause the visual quality to be rougher and fuzzier. Please find as example the following screenshots comparison:

Figure 1. With a physical resolution of 1280×800, the overall visual quality is sharp.

Figure 2. Reducing resolution from 2560×1600 to 1280×800, the image quality is getting rough and fuzzy, there are jagged lines on the screen, and the pixels are grainy.

Do not be fooled by high resolution, the current gen of integrated graphics module aren’t enough performant yet and the result is still remaining the same as before: high resolution = low FPS, low resolution = high FPS.

Taking Cyberpunk 2077 as an example, you can see frame rate performance at different resolutions:

As you can see from the previous table, when the resolution is 2560×1600, Cyberpunk 2077 has only 8 frames per second, the game is unplayable!

Newly designed joysticks that can also serve as L3/ R3 buttons when being pressed down

In terms of analog joysticks, WIN Max 2021 adopts a sink-in design and Xinput API , similarly to the Xbox 360 controller. The ultra-durable dual 3D joysticks produced by Japan Alps offers L3 / R3 functions (on a 360 ° rotation use) by being pressed down. In terms of use lifespawn, the potentiometer and center stack of the joystick can be used for 2 million and 5 million spins respectively. To avoid finger-slipping during gaming, the joysticks have curved rocker caps made of hard materials with strong resistance (the right joystick is in the same position as on the GPD WIN).

In terms of D-pad, WIN Max 2021 uses an unibody one with split arrow keys like on the PS4 controller to facilitate subtle precise movement. The ABXY buttons are still made with double symbole inner printing, with appropriate spacing between the buttons that facilitates comfortable use without miss-press.

The L1 / L2 R1 / R2 buttons have highly-reliable Panasonic micro switches, with mechanical service life reaching 10 million use and electrical service life reaching 100,000 times, aswell as an operating temperature of -54 ~ 177 degrees Celsius.

Select, Xbox, Start buttons are located near the top left hinge to facilitate operation with left thumb. Clicking the Xbox button while streaming an Xbox game can turn on / off the joystick and activate functions such as “home screen”, “long press to turn off”, “screen capture”, “snap to position”.

Built-in backlit keyboard, mouse and touchpad

Especially because of the two sets of keys;”QWER” and “ASDF”, which are most commonly used by players; main keys size can’t be reduced in order to achieve desktop-level tactile feedback. Under these circumstances, WIN Max 2021 adopts a standard “QWERTY” chiclet-style full keyboard layout with backlight, making it easy to transform the machine into a perfect mini-gaming laptop by connecting an external mouse.

Whenever you don’t have an external mouse but you want to play games requiring one, just turn the “mouse / joystick” switch on the side of machine, it would immediately turn the joystick into a track point and L1 / R1 as mouse click left / right, allowing you to use the machine as a handheld, making it fit for more usage scenarios than gaming only.

Even without the mouse / joystick switch function, WIN Max 2021 also has a built-in touchpad, which supports gestures up to three-fingers and mouse click operations.

Whether for gaming or office work on the go or at fixed locations, WIN Max’s built-in handle + touchpad can be used for many use, anywhere, any time.

Dual fans + cooling pipes, high displacement side-blow design, 9 ventilation holes for fast heat dissipation

To improve thermal performance, WIN Max 2021 adopts a PC-grade cooling solution with high-power twin turbo fans + dual heat pipes, high-displacement side-blowing design, 9-hole ultra-short-distance ventilation highly efficient which is 8 times stronger than WIN 2’s heatsink.
