Any where you can saw such negative people, they diss everything, Apple, Sony, Samsung, everything which not fit them then they will bit.
You should look some others, GPD Win 2 was start sale from this Feb., until now GPD Win 2 was sold thousand and thousand pcs to whole world player, so how many people are blackguardly here? If GPD products is really bad, I think will be hundred people jump out and censure me after they saw my post here.
GPD will serve every user, once you get problem, just contact us anywhere, we will reply you a.s.a.p.
And if you would like to get a correct device, you may bought it from our official store or our authorised seller, you can check it on http://www.gpd.hk/distributors

BTW, now Aliexpress is -16% discount within this week.

Nothing you really need to be aware of to be honest.  I got mine about 4 weeks ago, and it was one of the newer revisions, and everything just worked perfectly out of the box.

Only thing I had to do, a week ago, I was getting frustrated that in Doom and Wolfenstein, the screen would go corrupt a little bit, ALT+TAB would fix it, and then I got Split Second and that was corrupting as well. I did some research and found some much more recent Video drivers on the intel website, and I also found particular mention to the Split Second issue being fixed by a more recent video driver.  I downloaded and installed, and all the issues disappeared.

Other than that, I have had no issues at all, its a brilliant little device.

Yes, 1 big thing you should know. And that's how to use Intel XTU and the core voltage offset and TDP settings.

lowing your core voltage offset to something like -0.060v, can help with heat, and battery life. But knowing when to raise it is also important.
Same thing with your TDP.

Since the win2 is a low power (power, not performance) device, managing your power settings and selecting what's best for each situation can be a pretty big deal.

Here are some posts which i made a while ago which may help you
How to change power settings
Short version is by lowering the settings, and doing stress tests to find a stable low.
For me it's -0.060v @ 8.5w TDP
-0.030v @ 10w tdp
0.000v (default) at 12w TDP. This gets hot and drains the battery pretty fast. But it's required for some games to be playable.

Understanding power throttling
This one explains how the power TDP is shared between the CPU and iGPU. For a better understanding in how to optimize for different games or emulators.

Rubber bumper feet
Rubber bumper/feet are used to raise your win2 off a flat surface a bit more. Better air-flow, better cooling.

Received my new GPD Win2 direct-from-manufacturer yesterday.  At first touch, it is more like a Rolex than a Timex.  Very nice quality and feel.  The processor is VERY FAST, like an older laptop i7-920XM Extreme or i7-2ndGen-series.

As soon as I turned it on, I decreased the volume to 66% and brightness to 0% thru the keyboard to make sure the parts last as long as possible.  I connected to my 5GHz wifi, then I updated all of the Windows updates to current 08-2018 Win10 1803.  And, finally, installed the newest 08-29-2018 Intel Graphics drivers.

I synchronized an external Bluetooth Apple Mac Keyboard and Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 and Xbox One bluetooth-enabled controller easily to the onboard Bluetooth 4.2.  I also am using a 400GB SanDisk microSD A1 card and Samsung 128GB USB ultra-low-profile flash drive.  Micro-HDMI works great on my TV.

In some emulators, the proper rendering method fullscreen to use is OpenGL, instead of 'ye olde' DirectX 8.  DirectX 8 fullscreen can sometime chop-off the graphics on-screen.

I do get a "sticky" A-button while gaming.  This isn't too important because most emulators allow re-mapping of controls.  However, this is the disappointment of the unit I have.  It is the only button I have that sticks, and I have played a lot of Contra, Castlevania, Gradius, S.T.U.N. Runner, and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.  It seems if I push down on the metal frame of the system with my thumb slightly while pushing the A-button in, there is no sticking.

I do not care that there is no built-in rumble on my post-Aug 20th system.  No rumble is not a problem.  There is probably a good reason why they had to remove it.

Overall, it is better than expected, because I had such fears of what I could receive from a fearmonger that overexaggerated any potential problems.  It is very much like a dream in the palm of my hand, like Phawx remarked in his review.  It is every emulator game I have running very well and portably with very good battery life.

The GPD Win 2 is nothing I regret buying.  It is very fun.  The portability is where it's at.  Everybody I have shown it to thinks it is "so cute" and interesting.  I think the 720p resolution is not too small.

I have no reason to ever disassemble this machine by myself, so anybody that does that must know about the fragility of tiny stuff, and have steady hands (that I do not have), so I hope there are never any problems with this machine.  (I'd dread having to ship something with Lithium batteries overseas by myself.)  I also have not run any modification through Intel XTU, because I have not had thermal throttling, yet.

Glad to see you have a good shop experience,hope you will enjoy your unit.
