    I am curious about why this form factor is so much more popular than mini laptop like GPD Win Max 2

    It has a smaller footprint making it easier to carry. The fact that it is a fully enclosed laptop means, you don’t need a carrying case. You aren’t going to accidentally snag a joystick and break it off while it is in your bag without a case.

    You also have a normal keyboard and mouse which lets you use it a standard laptop. Windows UI is build around the use of keyboard and mouse and this provides it.

        As someone who has a Win Max 2, yeah it’s not very comfortable to hold for very long.

      I don’t know why it’s more popular than a laptop. You can get one with similar APU and use KB+M or a BT controller. Plus you get, you know, a usable laptop in the deal.
