Lilbits: GrapheneOS coming to Moto phones in 2027, Apple launches Mac Mini with M6 and Mac Studio with M5 Ultra, Lenovo launches a handheld for game streaming

Earlier this year we learned that Motorola was working with the folks behind the security-hardened version of Android called GrapheneOS. Now it looks like the fruits of that labor are expected to ripen next year. While Motorola isn’t expected to ship any phones with the operating pre-installed, GrapheneOS plans to add official support for some high-end Motorola smartphones, thanks to help from […]

GPD Win Max 3 mini gaming laptop with AMD Strix Halo to sell for $1750 and up at launch

The GPD Win Max 3 is a mini laptop with a 9.06 inch display, an AMD Strix Halo processor with discrete-class graphics, and a design that makes it clear that this is a little PC made for both work and play.

First unveiled earlier […]

Lilbits: Steam Deck LCD spare parts, the Asus ROG Ally X20 will be available without AR glasses, and 3rd-party app stores are coming to the Google Play Store

I’m resisting the urge to start this post with a “yo dawg” meme, but Google is about to start putting app stores inside its app store, as the company gives up on its quest to modify a court order that stopped the company from blocking developers from distributing competing app stores in the Google Play […]

And with an AMD Strix Halo processor featuring […]

Lilbits: Kodak’s camera for your keychain, GPD Win 5 pricing, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

The Kodak Charmera is a little camera designed to look like a classic single-use camera from the 1980s… but smaller. Like, small enough to fit on your keychain. This new $30 camera is also reusable – it’s a digital camera with a rechargeable battery that uses a microSD card for storage.

With a $30 price tag, it’s not surprisingly that the Charmera isn’t exactly a good camera. Odds are that […]

This week GPD revealed that its next handheld gaming PC would be powered by an AMD Strix Halo processor, bringing discrete-class graphics to a handheld PC for the first time.

GPD Win Max 2 (2025) is a mini gaming laptop with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

This week handheld PC maker GPD launched an updated version of its GPD Win 4 handheld gaming PC with a 6 inch display and an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 “Strix Point” processor, which should bring a significant performance boost over the Ryzen 7 8840U “Hawk Point” chip in the previous-generation model.

Now the company is giving the same treatment to GPD Win Max 2. This is a mini laptop with a 10,1 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel capacitive touchscreen display and a QWERTY keyboard large enough for touch-typing. But it’s also designed to be used as a handheld gaming PC, with a pair of integrated game controllers positioned above the keyboard, allowing you to hold the computer in two hands while playing games. The GPD Win Max 2 (2025) is now available for purchase from Indiegogo, and it should begin shipping to backers this month.

So far there’s only one configuration available, and it’s an expensive model with top-tier specs. GPD is charging $1462 for a GPD Win Max 2 with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. It’s possible that lower-cost configurations with less memory or storage could show up in the future.

If you don’t care to wait for a cheaper Strix Point model, GPD is still selling a Hawk Point model with a Ryzen 7 8840U processor, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for $958.

Aside from the processor, memory, and storage, the two systems are pretty much identical. There are a few small changes though: both USB Type-C ports are USB4 ports now, and the cooling module and fan have been redesigned.

While Indiegogo is a crowdfunding site, the GPD Win Max 2 is a device that’s actually been around for a few years at this point, so there’s little risk that GPD will fail to deliver a product if you place an order.

That said, there’s still some risk involved with buying any devices from GPD or other Chinese handheld PC makers like AYANEO and One Netbook: these companies have made some of the most interesting little computers I’ve seen in the past few years, but they also have less than stellar track records for offering customer service and support.

OneGx 2 is a handheld gaming PC that’s also a mini-laptop with swappable keyboard layouts

Most of the handheld gaming PCs that have launched in the past few years have looked vaguely like a Nintendo Switch or Valve Steam Deck: there’s a display squeezed between a pair of game controllers and no physical keyboard.

But there are a handful of portable gaming PCs that do have keyboards for easier text input. The GPD Win 4 and AYANEO Slide, for example, have thumb keyboards that slide out from behind the screen. And the GPD Win Mini and Win Max look like little laptops with clamshell-style keyboards. One of the first entries in this space was the One Netbook OneGx mini-laptop that launched in 2020. Now One Netbook is preparing to launch a new model called the OneGx 2 that brings a few big changes to this little laptop.

The company hasn’t revealed official specs, pricing, or a release date yet. But in a teaser video posted to Chinese social video side Bilibili, One Netbook lays out some of the key features of the upcoming handheld gaming PC/mini laptop and promises that it’ll launch a beta testing program soon.

Like most modern handheld gaming PCs, the OneGx 2 features dual analog sticks with RGB backlights, action buttons, and linear triggers. But on this model, those controllers are positioned above a keyboard area.

Possibly the most intriguing thing about this keyboard is that there appears to be support for two different keyboard layouts. One is a split keyboard that allows you to type with your thumbs while holding the OneGx 2 in two hands. But you can also drop a more traditional keyboard attachment over the top of that split keyboard to give the little computer keys that are positioned more comfortably for ten-finger touch-typing.

It’s a little unclear how these two keyboards function from the promo video: I think it’s possible that the split keyboard is a capacitive touch keyboard while the full(er) sized keyboard has physical keys. But I could be wrong about that. Both keyboards are backlit.

Other confirmed features CNC aluminum body and a set of ports that includes USB4 Type-C, USB Type-A, and OCuLink.

There’s no word on the screen size or resolution, processor, memory, storage, or other features. But more details should be revealed closer to launch.
