We just got our first proper look at GPD's battery-optional Strix Halo handheld gaming PC and I'm still unconvinced

The GPD Win 5 is looking to be a strange device. An AMD Strix Halo-powered gaming handheld that lacks any internal battery, it doesn't have the benefit of a keyboard like a laptop or the portability of, well, every other gaming handheld. I felt confused when it was announced last week, and now that there's twenty minutes showing the device off, I feel even more confused.

The GPD Win 5 was shown off on the GPD YouTube channel by someone who visited the GPD booth at ChinaJoy. Presumably taken straight from someone's BiliBili account (as is indicated by the watermark and description), then repuploaded, this is how GPD decided to show off the new device, and I can't quite figure out why it made that choice.
