GPD Win 4 (2025)
Enthusiast slider handheld with keyboard · Legacy — GPD confirmed the Win 4 is not being manufactured further, concentrating on the Win 5; 2025 units remain in channel
The Win 4's slider keyboard and OCuLink port make it GPD's most PC-like handheld, and the HX 370 config is genuinely fast. But it ships with a structural, unresolved input-lag defect tied to the display's IC buffer that GPD has not factory-fixed across three generations, plus persistently loud fans — GPD itself has now discontinued the line in favor of the Win 5.
Pros
- Full backlit slider keyboard plus OCuLink and USB4 eGPU ports
- HX 370 config offers genuine desktop-adjacent performance
- ALPS 3D joysticks and dual vibration motors
Cons
- Structural ~50 ms input-lag defect affects every unit, unresolved as of mid-2026
- Fan noise reported as too loud even at moderate TDPs
- Discontinued by GPD in favor of the Win 5
