The GPD Win Mini 2025 is a pocket-sized clamshell handheld PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8840U and a 7-inch 60/120 Hz LTPS touchscreen, delivering strong performance in a compact form.

Professional reviewers describe the Win Mini 2025 as a pocket-sized powerhouse that combines top-tier AMD Ryzen AI performance with a compact clamshell chassis, noting its superior cooling, high-refresh display, and flexibility as a handheld, laptop, and dockable system. While they commend its benchmark dominance and portability, they flag the loud fan, cramped keyboard, and SSD-induced heat as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users echo the praise for portability and smooth high-refresh visuals, highlighting the device's ability to run modern games and emulators comfortably on the go. Common complaints revolve around the noisy fan, limited keyboard ergonomics, and localized heat on the right side, though many owners apply aftermarket thermal pads to mitigate the issue.
