I don't understand the meaning ...... who needs that?

Hmmm

This seems a rather confusing product and an even more confusing crowdfunding campaign.

The campaign doesn't seem to be able to definitively decide whether this is a gaming console (which is likely to be ripped to shreds by gamers because it lacks the hardware for any serious game play) or a mini laptop.

Things get even more strange when Geekbuying have it on their site as a pre-sale, without having any guarantee that the product will actually materialise.

Crowdfunding is not the same as a retail store, so very odd to see it essentially being advertised as both.

Doesn't come across as a product that will have anything but very limited niche support but there are 1889 backers to date though and more than half a million dollars raised.

GPD Win 5.5 inch Game Console Intel Atom X5 Z8500 in Action

GPD Win handheld gaming PC gets a CPU upgrade ahead of launch The GPD Win is a tiny computer that looks like a laptop, but which features a 5.5 inch touchscreen display, a thumb-sized QWERTY keyboard, and dedicated gaming buttons above the alpha-numeric keys.
GPD ran a series of crowdfunding campaigns for the project earlier this year, started taking pre-orders in June, and plans to begin shipping GPD Win handheld gaming computers to customers in October.
But it turns out those computers will be a little more powerful than expected.

The company had originally planned to use an Intel Atom x5 Cherry Trail processor, but now GPD says the GPD Win will ship with an Atom x7-Z8750 processor, or an x7-Z8700 chip if the newer Z8750 variant isn’t available.
Other specs include 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a 1280 x 720 pixel display, mini HDMI and USB 3.0 ports, and a headset jack.
Clearly it’s not designed for playing bleeding edge video games, but it should be able to handle many casual games available from the Windows Store as well as older PC games and some classic console titles (when used in an emulator).
While the company has been offering Android-based devices for a few years, the GPD Win is the first model to to run Microsoft’s desktop operating system. And it might be
In the same announcement where GPD announced plans to upgrade the processor for the GPD Win, the company suggested that plans for a next-gen, GPD Win 2 may be canceled.
Since Intel recently announced plans to discontinue its Atom processor family, GPD isn’t sure it’ll be able to find low-power, Windows-compatible chips for future models. Intel does plan to offer higher-performance “Apollo Lake” chips for notebooks and tablets, but those chips are expected to consume more power and generate more heat than Atom processors, which means they might not be appropriate for a handheld device with a 5.5 inch display like the GPD Win.
