GPD reveals Strix Halo-powered Win 5 gaming handheld's pricing ahead of imminent launch

GPD has already showcased the Win 5 and its complete specs, and now, the company has announced the Chinese prices of the gaming handheld. As the latest announcement shares, the configuration with the Ryzen AI Max 385 will be available to pre-order in China at CNY 8,699, which is roughly $1,221.

As for the configuration with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the one with 32 GB of RAM will go for CNY 9,999, while the option with 64 GB RAM will be available to pre-order at CNY 12,999. These prices convert to around $1,403 and $1,824, respectively. GPD hasn't yet revealed the price of the 128 GB RAM variant.

The company has also confirmed that the gaming handheld will be available to pre-order in China on September 25, 2025. As for the global release, it's currently set for October 17, and outside the Chinese market, it could start under $1,500, maintaining a competitive edge over the Strix Halo-equipped Asus ROG Flow Z13 2025 (configuration with AI Max+ 395 and 32 GB of RAM curr $2,169.99 on Amazon).

For those who missed our previous coverage, the Win 5 comes with a different design than its predecessor. There is no built-in keyboard, and the company has also resorted to an external battery solution, which has made GPD face a bit of backlash from its fans.

However, the external battery design is thought to be employed because of how performance-focused the hardware inside is. For example, there's a dual-fan setup, and GPD claims that the Strix Halo APU inside can run at 75 W TDP.

Of course, the Win 5 does offer a good level of flexibility with the external battery pack. It can be attached to the back of the gaming handheld or be plugged in using a cable, acting like a power bank. You can learn more about the device from our previous coverage or the spec sheet attached below.
