GPD Win Max 3 (Preorder)

Pre-order until 11 November 2026

The GPD WIN Max 3 is a powerful piece of hardware, and stocking large quantities of such a premium device isn't exactly practical for a small specialist shop like ours. So we're collecting pre-orders until 11 November 2026 and will place our order with GPD based on the configurations you actually want. We offer selected configurations as part of this limited pre-order offer. All orders received by the deadline will be included in our order placed with GPD immediately afterwards. We expect delivery before the end of 2026; this depends on GPD. If there are any delays, we will inform you promptly.

Delivery is currently planned for early December 2026. Please keep in mind that this is an estimate, not a guaranteed delivery date.

Important keyboard information

The GPD WIN Max 3 is only available with an international QWERTY keyboard. Unfortunately, there will be no German QWERTZ version because the compact keyboard lacks the additional physical keys required for a full German layout. You can change the keyboard language in Windows, but that won't give you a complete physical German keyboard.

Desktop-class power in a compact laptop

The WIN Max 3 combines high-performance PC hardware with a compact laptop form factor and built-in gaming controls. Whether you're playing modern PC games, running emulators, programming, editing videos or experimenting with local AI models, this little machine is designed for demanding tasks.

Powered by AMD's Zen 5-based Strix Halo platform, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 offers 16 cores and 32 threads with boost clocks up to 5.1 GHz. The Ryzen AI Max+ 388 comes with 8 cores and 16 threads, boosting up to 5.0 GHz. The 395 is especially useful for rendering, heavy multitasking and other CPU-intensive workloads.

Both models feature AMD Radeon 8060S graphics with 40 compute units and frequencies up to 2.9 GHz. This provides substantially more graphics power than conventional integrated laptop graphics, with support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3 and OpenGL 4.6.

The platform supports configurable power profiles from 45W to 110W, depending on power supply, cooling and system configuration. Sustained high-power operation requires appropriate cooling and power delivery.

A spectacular OLED gaming display

The 9.06-inch AMOLED display delivers a 2400 × 1504 resolution, refresh rates up to 165Hz and HDR10 support. Fast games benefit from smooth motion, while OLED delivers deep blacks, strong contrast and vibrant colours.

The panel supports 10-bit colour, 105% DCI-P3 coverage according to GPD, and peak brightness up to 1050 nits in high-brightness mode. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 provides screen protection.

Multi-touch support lets you interact directly with Windows. Active styluses with up to 4096 pressure levels are also supported, with compatible pens available separately.

Compared to the WIN Max 2, the screen is slightly smaller, but you get a much more advanced AMOLED panel with a significantly higher refresh rate.

High-bandwidth memory for gaming and AI

Fast LPDDR5X memory running at 8000 MT/s in quad-channel mode provides the bandwidth needed by the processor and integrated graphics. CPU and GPU share the available memory, which can also be useful for memory-intensive AI workloads.

We offer three configurations: Ryzen AI Max+ 388 with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, Ryzen AI Max+ 388 with 64GB RAM and a 2TB SSD, or Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128GB RAM and a 2TB SSD.

The 128GB configuration is particularly interesting for local language models, AI experimentation and other memory-heavy tasks. Depending on configuration and memory allocation, up to 96GB can be assigned as graphics memory. The platform also includes a dedicated NPU offering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.

Fast storage and expansion options

The pre-installed NVMe SSD uses an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 ×4 slot. An additional M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 ×2 slot is available for expanding your storage, making it easy to separate games, projects and larger data collections.

A microSD Express slot provides another option for fast compatible memory cards. Our configurations include either 1TB or 2TB of SSD storage.

Built-in controls for serious gaming

In addition to the keyboard and touchpad, the WIN Max 3 has a complete set of integrated gaming controls: two capacitive mini joysticks, a D-pad, ABXY buttons, shoulder buttons and analogue Hall-effect triggers.

There are also programmable L4/R4 buttons, a six-axis motion sensor and dual linear vibration motors. GPD advertises joystick sampling rates of up to 8000Hz.

Magnetic covers can hide the gaming controls when you're using the device for work. A backlit QWERTY keyboard, integrated touchpad and fingerprint sensor in the power button round out the controls.

Removable battery and modular cooling

One of the WIN Max 3's distinctive features is its removable external 97Wh battery module. It attaches magnetically and is included in the package. The computer can also run directly from its power adapter without the battery connected.

An optional external fan module can replace the battery module when you need additional cooling for sustained demanding workloads. The extra fan module is not included in the standard package.

A 180W DC power adapter is included. The USB4 port also supports USB Power Delivery up to 100W. For maximum performance, the dedicated power adapter is recommended.

At 207 × 147 × 34mm and approximately 815g without attachments, the WIN Max 3 is compact but certainly not pocket-sized. With the battery connected, it measures approximately 207 × 180 × 34mm and weighs around 1220g.

Battery life depends heavily on workload, display brightness, refresh rate and performance settings. Heavy gaming at high power limits will drain the battery much faster than lighter productivity tasks.

Connectivity and external graphics

The WIN Max 3 includes a USB4 Type-C port supporting up to 40Gbps, DisplayPort 2.1 and 100W Power Delivery, alongside a second USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port supporting up to 10Gbps and video output.

Two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, microSD Express and a combined 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack cover everyday connectivity. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 provide wireless connections.

Compatible external GPUs can be connected through USB4, giving you additional graphics options for desktop use. Unlike the WIN Max 2, however, the WIN Max 3 does not include a separate OCuLink port.

A laptop for more than just games

Windows 11 Home, a built-in 5MP ultra-wide camera, microphone and stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra support make this a practical portable PC for work as well as gaming.

With its keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen and external monitor connectivity, the WIN Max 3 is equally suited to office tasks, video calls, software development, content creation and compact desktop setups.
