Too big, weird button placement, and I'm not a fan of the overall aesthetic

Yeah, it kinda is weird, but that's your typical Chinese website.. lol

GPD is the company that pioneered the handheld gaming PC form factor

Yea, I getcha. I wonder how much repair-ability limited the design. Chunkier components is probably much easier for the common person to repair. I wouldn't want to open up my iPhone or Switch as an example, but feel like I'd be super comfortable taking apart the Deck.

Something fishy going on

bit weird. I think some people hate short form writing, like my "btw" could've come across bad to them. Like redditors and raging against emoji
