![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.77[2/2] "รับทราบ" แก๊งเพื่อนรัก 10 ปี ที่ไปไหนก็มีตำนาน!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ifc0ofD51B0/mqdefault.jpg)
You heard it here first! The device offering a theoretical 30-50% performance increase at 3x the price just made Steam Deck irrelevant! Why get a Steam Deck when Ayo Neo 2 will give you 10 extra frames for a measly $800 more... 🤣
This.
LMAO. yep.
Ayaneo 2 geek is $300 more than a base steam deck after you add some decent storage, not $800 more. You are not restricted to steam os games, you can replace your desktop by plugging in an external gpu, more power, more portable, better screen, etc. Gotta love the ignorance lmao
@@FAUNASO @FAUNASO after upgrading storage on mine it cost about $650 total and I have 2 terabytes, the Aya Neo 2 is still nearly double the price. Steam Deck also runs windows as well as any other x86 handheld, I literally run Xbox game pass on mine. I guess it's cool that you can use an external GPU in theory but I don't see a practical use for it, I bought my deck so that I could take my games away from my desktop not to turn it in to one. I'm sure it has a better screen, at its price point it better have a nice screen, but why would I want to spend that $550 on a better screen for my handheld when I could buy a high end monitor or a decent 4k TV for my desktop setup?
To be clear, that marginally more portable and sleek design comes at a hidden cost. Gamers Nexus did a teardown of the Aya Neo 2 and couldn't even remove the motherboard or access the screen because of it's poor component placement that's literally designed to be sleek, compact and thrown away if it breaks. On the other hand, the steam deck has a modular design intended for easy repair, Valve even did their own teardown video to demonstrate repairability and partnered with ifixit to distribute official oem repair components. You drop your Aya Neo and crack that nicer screen...it's done; I do the same with my deck and I just go to ifixit, buy a new one and install it. Your device develops stick drift, you're screwed; if mine gets drift I just unscrew the little joystick module and screw a new one in. And before you assume that you'll be able to just send it to Aya Neo, keep in mind that Aya Neo is an extremely small company who offer 1 year warranties on devices that often see sub 1000 unit manufacturing runs. Even if they offered repair services beyond their warranty period, the likelihood that they'll even have the parts to repair your device after a couple years is highly unlikely. You're not buying a handheld computer that can be maintained and used for years to come, you're buying a disposable computer.
Ps3 emulation an actual chance to run ue5 games at low 720p
Reminder that everything that competed with the Gameboy were far superior but the price and power consumption sent them to the bargain bin later. It's impressive but that price point is a sore point.
RIP Game Gear
@@LEXICON-DEVIL haha. The joys of playing with a Game Gear is constantly having to change batteries.
@@ryuno2097 lucky if you even got 2 hours of playtime on that thing
Wasn't the game gear able to play genesis games?
@@joshuakeely5593 no, you’re thinking of the SEGA Nomad
It’s blatantly clear that Valve have smashed it out of the park with the Steam Deck. Great price, great performance, self serviceable, and good quality too. It hits every point needed to be the market leader. More people will end up buying the deck and it will become the baseline for what is expected in the mobile gaming space
I hate to burst your bubble but you can't beat Nintendo in the portable space. Sony, Sega and others tried but Nintendo has dominated since the Gameboy and Game and Watch.
Ordered mine today lol
@@WJCTechyman The Steam Deck can literally emulate switch games. Common Valve W at this point.
@CEO of Unpopular Opinions Exclusives like Xc3 and TotK. The Steam Deck can't emulate those well yet.
@@WJCTechyman yeah not really sure Nintendo was never a powerhouse but they always had high quality games and the DS line with their backwards compatibility was the best thing they ever made BUT (and that's just my opinion) Nintendos quality dropped over the years by 100% most games are just cash grabs or reskins of older games (and I'm not even talking about the fact that they removed the seal of approval) if you look through the eShop you will find more hentai or cheap shovel ware software than actual good games. For the physical part the switch dock is absolutely cheap manufactured and causes the switch to overeat and scratches the screen the battery life is kinda meh and although comfortable the quality of the joy cons is just terrible. I own a switch for several years and with more than 1TB of games( barley any Nintendo exclusives ) i kinda feel qualified to say Nintendo is slowly killing it self while vale provides awesome customer service, a refund policy for their games, an awesome handheld device, one of the best (if not the best) online store for games and on top of it the deck can emulate whatever the heck you want
It's sad since i grew up with Nintendo but I think their era is over 😢
It looks like a great device honestly. But as a college student, buying the cheapest steam deck and putting a 1tb ssd in it was so much cheaper and runs everything so good. I use it on my commute too. I wouldn't trade it for the world
I did the same, plus a 512 micro SD just in case 😅
@@cristianlira9778 yes I did that too. But for emulation (ps2, gamecube, ds)
But if you traded it for the world you’d have enough money to by both devices with loads left over…
@@Dave_S most corny and cringe thing a person could say fr fr
@@motivatedstorm3816he’s right though
Sure hardware wise it might but who has $1200+ to throw down on these things? Steam deck is more affordable therefore more appealing
Yeah, Steam Deck is better for the price alone.
I’d buy a decent laptop that’ll do circles around that thing for the price. It’s not justifiable.
Damage control
100%
Maybe you should get a job, people seem to have no issue buying a iPhone every year for $1200
But for the price the steam deck is still unchallenged, I would love to see this be competitive but I know the only reason Valve is able to do it is because of the sales they make from all of us that buy their games so they can sell it at a loss
Exactly. They can't be beat for price because they have a very successful software store
It really depends on where you place the steamdeck. I personally wouldnt buy one as you can get rtx3050 laptops in the $500-$700 range which offer way more in every category
@@jimmymac2292 yeah but those laptops aren't as portable as a Steam Deck.
Only the 64GB steam deck has big price advantage now. Also steam deck is not available in most countries yet. Steam deck also has lower specs. So I’d say price is not as bad as many would think. It’s good to have options😊
Dude I bought so many games from steam since I got the steam deck. But what keeps me comfortable is that I know that all my games will work for any handheld pc I buy from now on. No backwards compatible worries.
I recommend the Vibrant Deck plugin on Steam Deck. I used it to boost the color saturation, and I'll never go back to the stock colors now.
How do you do it?
@@rajgill7576 Don't worry gigass will post a tutorial just for you.
Yeah dude it blows me away how you can saturate the screen with a couple of button presses.
thanks for the info!
@@rajgill7576 its called decky loader. You get the plugin from that
Diminishing returns… The steam deck has struck the perfect balance between gaming experience and price point for a hand held device. At the end of the day, what matters is which thing can deliver the best experience at the right price. Also software matters, steam can afford pushing for improvements on what is there and even influence game devs to make the games run well on their devices. Competiton is good though, maybe this will keep steam on their toes. But as an end user, I think the steam deck will deliver an all-around superior experience to this device even at its much lower price point. But I guess a youtube video with this title generates lots of clicks which was probably the point anyways ;)
I don't think you understand what diminishing returns are, if you can't afford the Aya Neo 2 then just say that.
@@jamiewilliams3179 he is very right tho. the aya neo lacks a lot of the software the steam deck has, and also lacks some of the input methods of the steam deck. even though it is a faster device and has a better screen, the steam deck overall is the better purchase
If the Steam Deck hardware becomes outdated, the software it has pioneered and uses will stay relevant
@J.C. Denton
Honestly the current steam deck feels like a great jumping off point.
And when they inevitably iterate a new one (which they've already basically basically assured us they would) they've already said they'll focus on the screen and battery life.
That plus a decent little bump in power and maybe zen 3 could make the next seem deck absolutely a guaranteed winner, I'm super excited honestly.
Yeah in other words.....Review Tech STFU.....and sure you're not sponsored.....they just sent you one FREE, lmao!!!!!!!
@J.C. DentonThat's only in the case where the deck competes for PC market share in terms of time used for playing games. It isn't even close to that point yet. I hope it does, simply because more devs will actually include 16:10 aspect ratio in their games.
@J.C. Denton They don’t have to optimize anything for the deck. It’s not a console.
@@Bamboozaler you say compete but I take it you have not seen anyone else's steam year in review.
Almost half my friends list has a deck and the ones who do have spent between 30 all the way up to 70 percent of all game time on the deck.
A system that has been out how long? A year
Steam deck is very relevant. It's actually affordable compared to all these other devices.
Not as relevant as a switch. And hardly anyone owns one
It’s not relevant at all with it’s pathetic sales figures. It’s a flop, the Deck is a piece of garbage with terrible battery life and a UGLY screen
@@AZBCDE lmao
@@bugaj187 LMAO 🤡
@@AZBCDE so you've never had a steam deck and you're pissed that mommy and daddy won't buy you one lmfao
One of the best things about the Steam Deck that this lacks are the trackpads; their mouse functionality is great, as well as a huge plus for is setting the dpad and face buttons to the two pads and set them to not require a click and disable haptics; it is very easy and gentle on the fingers, since it requires no pressing. After working at the computer or doing digital art all day, it's great to play a game at my bed that puts no stress on my fingers. I also prefer a mirrored controller layout; I really hate having having one joystick above the dpad and the other below the face buttons.
I mostly use my deck to play smaller/indie games, as well as emulation, so the power of the Deck will never be an issue for me, and the "big" games I do have, I just play them at my PC on a big screen to enjoy them on properly with high settings. The price of the Deck was also the limit of what I was willing to pay; I already have a good desktop, so I did not want to pay over a thousand for a handheld PC - the price of the Deck being comparable to a console was what made me get it, and I haven't owned a console since the PS3 after I switched to PC.
Right there with you. Work on pc 10 hour shifts , 4days a week. I also like playing games like dwarf fortress, rimworld, civ, etc.. on it. Those game really need those trackpads. Even fps or other games, you can use the trackpads for radial menus, with icons, its great!
I don’t have a steam deck, but using the dual sense has taught me that track pads are criminally under used.
It’s uncomfortable for mouse input due to where they’re placed, but it you can get so much use with touch menus and the scroll wheel through steam input.
I feel the steam deck would give me more use for them.
I'm at the point where if a Steam Deck competitor lacks a trackpad then it's a no-go by default for me.
Big issue with this device is that if you're spending that sort of money you want excellent customer support. Valve might not be perfect, but they are updating it and are accepting returns. These guys come across as the sort of company that keep moving onto new products and aren't too bothered about committing to supporting devices
They'll support it for about 6 months and then move on.
Valve also supports right to repair. They made parts, and info on the hardware available. That combined with their track record of supporting hardware, I'm getting a steam deck. Only question is which version
@@patrickm2912 doesn't matter which version. I bought the 64gb version and will upgrade to 2tb eventually. A 512gb SD card will be enough. You'll want to upgrade it internally.
@@MrREAPERsz doesn't the 512 version have a better screen?
@@patrickm2912 yeah anti glare screen
its crazy that a device over twice the price of the steamdeck has better specs and performance! I would've never imagined!
The biggest issue with a number of these other companies is how they either can't keep them in stock or the price point being way to much. I think the price point and the fact the steam deck is pretty much in stock right now is going to be the biggest selling point everytime.
I love my Steam Deck and it’s great for the price. Glad to see so many options
@MrDjBigZ You guys need to realize that it's GOOD that the Ayeneyo is trying to get into the market. The Steam Deck needs competition in order to keep Valve honest. We don't want what happened with Intel CPUs and, very recently, Nvidia's BS GPU (both the 20 and 40 series garbage they've released).
@@FLINTZ They're fanboys and they will go mad when nintendo gets new console with new Nvidia chip more poweful than a steam deck, then they will stop talking about price, that's the only thing they talk about the price, whereas if you get a steam deck in a country is not sold, then is not cheap as they brag it.
@@leilavergerius9223 I like the steam deck but to always hear the sheep just brag about it in every video with handheld gaming PCs drives me crazy.
We know about the performance to price ratio, shut up about it.
@@leilavergerius9223 Nintendo wouldn't be more powerful💀
@@traestephen7276 That's what you wish. But not for Nvidia.
What grinds my gears is why make a 2 instead of just making the 2 your first model, it’s been almost a year and there’s like 7 versions of it
I don't understand your point. I thought I did but it feels kinda fragmented.
If nothing else they have experience with making these things thanks to the other models.
@@animetodamaximum I thought I did too, I realize I’m mixing up aya neo with Ayn, both releasing a bunch of versions in a short period of time
Those different versions still had the same old gpu. if you gonna make a 2 might as well do it when there is a significant increase in performance.
Because 6800u and zen 3 is next gen handheld specs
What an exciting time for portable PC gaming! We have at least 3 competitors coming out with neat stuff! I'm too poor to buy any of them atm, but it is fun to watch them get better and better as time goes on. I hope to see one that's easily pocketable and can handle 60 fps AAA gaming for more than 3 hours. I should be ready to buy one like that in a couple years.
For sure . 3 hours + would be awesome
I think some open worlds that came out on the ps4 and sp3 are okay, assassins creed, no man's sky, any of the fallouts, witcher. Just these games on the go would do I think
Except give it a few months an there will be another Aya Neo and the support for the current one will dwindle down, unlike the support Valve show for the deck, not to mention the RMA support you have for hardware faults that you don’t get with Aya Neo
That is exactly what will happen, but Boogie leaves that part out. It is all about support, much like the support Boogie here needs for his man boobs.
Exactly. A new Aya Neo device seems to come out every 5 minutes.
The steam deck's price will keep it relevant for many years to come, and honestly if I was gonna upgrade from my steam deck it would definitely be to a GPD Win 4 and not an Ayaneo.
Why would you go to a smaller screen though? I know 7" to 6" doesn't seem like a big difference, but in reality it's pretty significant.
@Lurch What Stadia has to do with anything mentioned here?
Ayaneo's quality and customer support are significantly above GPD Wins unfortunately, hence myself and many others going to the Ayaneo 2 despite liking the WIN 4 size more.
@Lurch stadia is a streaming service not a hand held pc. It's not even close to the same and for good reason was never as popular as the steam deck, Aya neo, and competitors.
@@bnr32jason because it's smaller but more hd, deck has a bigger screen bit the lower resolution is extremely noticeable. Win 4 will look much much sharper.
I’ve had my Steam Deck for about 2 months now, it’s friggin amazing. I have absolutely no interest in spending $800-$1200 for this thing, even if it is more powerful. I spent $400, have full access to my Steam library, for the price and what you get, there’s no comparing it to anything else, in my opinion anyway.
The $400 steam deck only has 64gb so add about $100 more for a decent 1tb m.2 ssd making the difference $300. Now you get a better screen, better game performance, the ability to connect an RTX external gpu to replace your desktop and a more premium device, I would say that difference is well worth it. Of course if your budget is only around $500 then of course steam deck is the only sensible choice lol
You are right. For the price there isnt anything. But guess what? Just like everything else in life, if you want more you gotta spend more.
@@Spectral2k1 this is the most intelligent thing i read on youtube in a very long time. You seem like the only person that gets it.
@@FAUNASO But a 512 GB SD card is only $61. Yes the Steam Deck can use SD cards as storage! Or any external storage device. WOW! It gets better! You can connect any thumbdrive and use as storage too! (With most hubs/adapter)
@@minisithunknown5568 1Tb m.2 SSD > 512gb SD card that has half the storage and is a lot slower. WOW!
Still for the price the steam deck is a great option
Dude the Aya neo 2 looks badass! I'm loving my steam deck right now and won't need to upgrade for a while. But it is good to see that handheld PCs are getting better at a rapid pace. I want to see what valve does next before I make my next handheld purchase. Good times for handheld gaming!!
I'm loving my deck also Santa got it for me! Curious do you wanna exchange steam handles?
There needs to more people like you mate.
@Lurch But who is expecting you to do that? If you don't want it don't buy it no one is forcing you. An for 399, there isn't much out there touching the steam deck, which also has full support an is easy to open up an upgrade, or replace parts. 😉
Agreed I love my steam deck and I'll def look at gen 2 before looking at a different handheld manufacturer
I'm certainly excited for the future that the steam deck has created.
I still feel like this is going to be a very small segment of the market compared to something like the switch but I'm glad it's out there changing the perception of what these small portable PC's can do.
I believe the D pad is so hard to get right because of the limited amount of space being provided. The tighter fit could be forcing them to use certain hardware simply because there's a limited selection for this certain use case.
Save your money and just build a PC if you don't have one already. I've had the steam deck since it launched and although I like it and would recommend to someone who already has a console or pc as just something extra to play games on in bed or at work or something, I still prefer playing all these AAA games on an actual console or PC with the best performance and visuals possible. Your truly missing out if you decide to play games like eldon ring on the steam deck or any handheld for that matter. It's cool to see it running on a handheld but not really the way to play it.
Thank you for sharing! You’re one of the first reviewers with your hands on this device… the public appreciates your posts, especially so early!
Random question I’ve been wondering about these devices… How good are they at recording gameplay while playing? Using, say, OBS?
I got the retroid pocket 3 plus for retro emulation and I'm loving it. Has HDMI out and can play most GameCube and PS2 and Android. It's nice for form factor I can fit it in my pocket like a smartphone. Will probably get a steam deck or whatever is relevant in a couple years.
They are releasing a new device every 2-3 months... I can imagine that with almost no support, it's a risky gamble.
Yeah, that’s pretty much the only reason why I won’t buy from the Steam Deck competitors. Plus, I’ve heard these devices tend to not last as long.
How do you feel about the vita d pad?
I like d pads to have the directional separation cuz in fighting games I can press any direction without hitting another direct by accident if that make sense.
Ergonomically, the steam deck control layout is amazing
I hate the Deck's L1+R1
@@gc3k Then use R4 and L4.
@@ZoofyZoofyeah that's what I use instead, works fine
I personally love the steam deck ergonomics. I can not stand the buttons and sticks being directly on top of each other (with joycons for example or with this device) the side to side of the steam deck is much better for me. Also I can't live without the trackpads
@@izzyhope58 exactly, I can't stand Xbox/switch control layout
It looks great, but I’d be interested to see if battery life improved. Also, Steam Deck is king because of price primarily. If I’m going to spend as much as Aya asks for these it’s not going to be on a handheld. Also, while I’ll occasionally play new triple A games on SD, I generally only play older titles or indies. Things I wouldn’t really play on my main rig or console. And those run amazingly as is. Hoping the market really gets going. If Aya went a bit lower on pricing I’d probably be interested. Looks like a solid piece of tech though and it’s been great to see these advancing and starting to become more mainstream.
Awesome video as always. I have been debating between the ayaneo2 and the gpd win4. Leaning more towards the win4 because it’s smaller form factor and built in keyboard.
As someone that's never had a pc and has been a Nintendo kid I would love to get one of these and my only concern would be do I need to have a pc to download games and how long will it be effective?
Anytime ReviewTechUSA actually reviews tech in the USA it's a good day.
Missing some bird jokes early on though.
Sometimes he becomes ComplainTechUSA.
@@christopher32074 Even better
This looks like a wonderful upgrade from the Aya neo. I hope it won't get too expensive to buy
Sauce?
It's about $1000 on indigogo
For that I would say look into the GPD Win 4 which starts at $797 with very similar if not identical specs.
$1500 if you want the good version, $1000 for the cheapest one. Not worth it, get a steam deck.
@@Htimez2 Except the steam deck is trash for game compatibility.
Do these have HDMI out port? So that we can use it as a PC?
Hey can you review the Razer Edge ? It’s a new gaming handheld and I think it might be perfect. What do you think of it ?
Good to see other Portable PCs coming out however I agree with others on having a Steam Deck. I don't have a gaming PC so this will do for some time until I get one.
Looks like a great upgrade from Aya. Hopefully this won’t be as expensive as the previous.
Starting at the Low Low price of $1099 (cheapest model). Unless you do the IngieGogo and its a bit cheaper
The lack of trackpads on the AyaNeo is a big negative versus the steam deck.
I don't use them all the time, but it's opened up a whole load of games in my steam library I wouldnt have ever thought I would be able to play portable.
Great video! What about the dock though? Are you going to discuss in another video?
Even when the Steam Deck really is no longer competitive - either due to competitors or new iterations - it will be amazing for years. Especially with its emulation capabilities. It’s really quite something at the price point it’s at . Even more so when you consider valve partnered with ifixit to make sure you can get parts if it breaks.
Oh, but steam Deck is very much competitive. Specs may be low, but so is price, putting it in the higher end of what average household can spend for what it is.
Any stronger machines are for serious fascinates, but Steam Deck is both somewhat affordable and the safest choice with minimal drawbacks.
Sure it will
If anything this made the Steam Deck more relevant because Valve managed to pack all of that power into a handheld device without making it too expensive.
This is really convenient timing that you uploaded this because it didn't come up in my feed, I searched steam deck to start doing research because I want something that can emulate and I am considering these. But for the sake of ensuring compatibility of things I might still get a switch and build a pc
Is the AYANEO 2 a limited thing only? Or will people be able to buy one later?
Don’t let this video deter you from buying your steam deck 💪🏾💯 stay strong lol
wonder how this compares with the onexplayer 2. Good seeing new people coming into this sector
Doez n e 1 no which handheld console haz atari up 2 ps4 already downloaded in it ? Basically looking for a plug n play. Internet n gamerz please help !!
On a previous video, I commented Valve will not optimize any games but their own for the Steam Deck and a few tickled people said 'wHat ABouT pROtoN?!' I did some research on what Proton is doing and found on Steamworks an article telling us Proton translates Windows games into the program language Linux understands. That doesn't sound like optimizing games to me, just processing games to work with the device. The only thing they would be optimizing would be the rate of translation, meaning if the game plays bad on PC, it will still play bad on the Steam Deck no matter what black magic coding people think Valve would produce. Valve wants games to just work on their device, unlike what happened with SteamOS 1, Steam Link (designed to compete with the OUYA), and the hundreds of R&D devices that lead to the creation of the Steam Deck.
The two major things Valve optimized the program to work with are two Anti-Cheat programs. Easy Anti-Cheat (made by Epic Games BTW) specifically optimized for Elden Ring and BattlEye for games like PUBG, Destiny 2, Ark, Rainbow Six Siege, and many more. I also found out Fortnite uses both anti-cheat systems, which may have had some pull for Valve to optimize Proton to work with both since it is still a popular game that would sell the Steam Deck. Sure, you could play Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, but you can't disable motion controls and you have much lower performance compared to everything else.
I knew all these new handhelds with more capable APUs will come out. But still got my SteamDeck 2 days ago 😁 hard to beat the SD for its price and other aspects.
But the aya is easier to emulate as suppose to the steam deck
@@ivanbarroso865 is it bcoz its on Windows? I am emulating now thru Emudeck and its not that complicated. Been emulating on a PC and phones before.
@@titolour precisely steam deck has the steam os but it’s not hard as long as you follow the instructions but overall not complicated
@@titolour I think a lot of people are mistaken about why others prefer Windows for gaming. Windows isn’t better because the process is easy, the process is easy because Windows is a better OS. Doing anything in desktop mode (which looks like a poor man’s Windows) was made much more complicated. It shouldn’t take 15 steps to unzip a file. I shouldn’t have to be constantly waiting for a Proton update to play games in my library that work on any windows pc. It’s more than familiarity that makes people prefer Windows.
Seems like a great piece of kit on the whole but as others have said because of the price its not going to be a competitor to the Steam Deck, I hope it does well for the company and then possibly one day they could release a product in the same price range as the Steam Deck, that would make things interesting.
I'd be willing to pay for either the Steam Deck or the AYANEO 2, but I need to know first, as I'm planning to replace my gaming laptop, can I hook any of those 2 to my 1440p, 165hz monitor? Will they work? Or should I aim to get a regular build instead? I just love the portability, but I want to also use it with my monitor.
So can you play cod again xbox and ps players? Does it register just like a pc would?
Glad to see more people reviewing the Ayaneo 2. I got mine in the mail yesterday and other than Steam OS, I can't think of a single thing I like about my Steam Deck better than my Ayaneo 2. Especially the screen, the Ayaneo 2 absolutely destroys the Steam Deck as far as screen quality goes. The color, contrast, and brightness is all so much better. I can even run lower spec games at 1920x1200 and it looks soooo much better than the same game on the Deck at 1280x800.
Well, I guess I lied, I do like how the grips on the Steam Deck feel. I feel like I have a more secure hold of the Steam Deck, but that's not saying the Ayaneo 2 grip is poor, it's just not as deep.
I'm still going to keep my Deck, although I'm not really sure why, I've had it since March and I feel almost emotionally attached to it. Maybe I'll let my pre-teen kids play it on road trips or something. I'll have to see if Roblox will run on it.
I know eventually these handhelds will blow the deck out of the water, but the amount of inputs available to the deck gives you more compatibility for pc exclusives and can improve controls for controller focused games.
Them trackpads are serious business.
@Curt S Well, all the additional inputs are. Along with steaminput, it gives you the ability to tune and tweak the way you want to optimise the game's experience for you. Gyro is the most game-changing for me in games as I can now do sudden analog movements and small tilts to aim just like a mouse, but with a controller instead.
Does this device has custom control layouts?
At $1,300 it should be better and it is. By a huge margin. But at $399 you can't find a better option than Steam Deck.
Nothing compares to the Steam Deck, the compatibility, the support, and the price are unbeatable! That's not debatable. 1/13/23 this video/opinion already has 1.5k dislikes for those wondering. P.S. I do not like the button layout on the aya neo 2, moving your thumb that far up and down for buttons and joystick on the right would be annoying and unplayable imo. for the base model price being $1000 and up it should have more storage to say the least, compare this price to the Steam Deck base price of $399 and the Steam Deck wins hands down.

Would you say it is the best all around atm? Ya love were its going but just dont know which one to get. The neo2 seems to be the one other than the loki max for the price when it comes out. The steam price is very nice but hard with the 6800u out now.
The thing is you know how ridiculous it be with what Valve could do with a $1200 price point.
The fact they did something so capable for under 500 is gamebreaking.
My biggest gripe with the deck (I have one ) is if you want to play any of the top dog competitive fps type games your screwed . If it runs anticheat you can't play it unless you install windows.
Surely they can figure something out. I'd like to play MW2 on my deck without having to install bloody windows
I just use it for single player. I would never install windows on it. I like the Lynx OS it comes with.
@@o0junglist0o93 I thought I had heard Fortnite was gonna have a way forward but I guess I had mis heard cuz the CEO or something said it won't happen unless someone at EAC makes special version of it to include the SOC and Linux. And fair enough I guess they don't trust Linux since its so open to editing it would be hard to combat whatever cheats people would make with it.
If I recall correctly, Valve already stated they're working to bypass having to download anticheats so you can just play the game
@@ZoofyZoof I hope you're right
I’m here when it says 0 views ain’t that amazing
Coolio my g have a cookie
The thing I still don't see people talking about enough, much less utilizing on the Steam Deck, is that you can turn both track pads into 16+ button menus for playing complex PC games like Simulators. It's impossible to play games like Arma 3, Silent Hunter, on any other handheld then the Steam Deck!
Can you connect it on tv like the steam deck?
It looks so much nicer than the Steam Deck.
yea only 3 times the price with less support and updates then the steam deck, in a year ayaneo will release something new and your device will have no customer support or device updates to fix old issues.
Dude, I just said it looks nicer.
There's no need to get upset..
I see the Steam Deck as a companion to your existing PC setup. The Aya Neo 2 looks like a better standalone gaming PC. In both cases, the pricing is pretty on point.
Cap. The Steam Deck is a good standalone gaming pc device, and the Aya Neo 2, while sounding nice, the Deck is still superior. Its community and price is not the only reason.
The Steam Deck is $400, until these other handhelds can compete on price, I am not buying one
I dont own a steam deck yet but I'm sticking to it other than this or any other device from a competitor, does anyone know if the steam will be able to be upgraded?
My goodness this channel has gone down the gutter time to pack it up and call it a day rich!!!
This does not make the Steam Deck irrelevant AT ALL .
LMAO 🤣
What is my contribution for when will I receive the merchandise, is this thing finished or in developing. Why don't you discuss this in the video. I want to buy one but the website is not user friendly. Does it come with a warranty?
“30 to 50% faster than the steam deck.” The steam deck starting is also like half the price.
It's more lik 1/3 if u account the cheapest steam deck
Gonna make some counterpoints. First, price is important. Second, Valve is pushing hard for gaming on Linux, something I feel is worth supporting. Third, Valve now has an established user base.
Steam had a user base for many years. They just made there own OS and device for Steam.
I think that the price is fair you can download any pirated game for free and it work perfectly not like steam deck I tried lots of pirated games and it did not work. The main reason to buy these devices is the ability to access to any game for free thats my view.
You can do that with a computer. Or you could just steal an ATM for cash if your too poor. It is the same thing.
If you install windows on the sd, you can play pirayed games...but its better to support the developers if you like their game. Unless its EA ! Fk them ! Pirate the sht out of EA games !
I just got the steam deck last year is it really necessary for me to get this new Device
Have you tried out the Odin Pro by AYN? if not then I would definitely love to see a review on that.
Uhhh, sorry... Gaming at
If I going to buy a Ayaneo 2 I wouldn't buy the cheapest model knowing short cuts had to be made in order to make a profit on the hardware. What about it's tech support? I already had to send in my deck due the hardware failure as that happens with all electronics. I'm thankful for the tech support on Steam.
It baffles me that some people compare a laptop to steam deck, yes both are portable but one is much easier to use anywhere rather than a laptop, I guess it all just depends on preference. I can't imagine myself sitting in a quick train ride and having a whole laptop pulled out of the bag to play for just 10 minutes and put it back in the bag right after
is world of warcraft playable on the steam deck? cause that game requires a mouse and keyboard I think, like is there a way to connect a mouse and keyboard to the steam deck?
You drop the ball, should've said your choking your chicken LMAO
Ultimately competition is good for the consumer & it's good to see where performance is for APUs, and how far it can be pushed, but the Steam Deck is just unbelievably good value
Ain’t no body got time to drop 1200+ on a handheld. 😂😂😂
Ayyy you rocking that locgitech keyboard, love it!
Btw my touch pad has stopped responding do you know how to fix? Might be something I did as it happened before and I fixed it without knowing lol might buy 2 more to keep in case they discontinued
I personally still pick the steam deck even if the prices were more comparable. Ordered one the other day, super excited for it. I have a decent gaming pc to run triple A stuff basically maxed out (not quite), but what i dont have is just a quick,easy, and painless way to just game for short periods, to tackle that backlog (of mostly older or indie games) little by little. If im not binging a game I always have real trouble deciding on what to play, always worrying if this time spent sat at my desk could be more efficiently spent playing a different game; i am hoping the supposedly seamless expierence of the steam deck could help me minimise that and just enjoy gaming again.
Steam Deck for the win, the compatibility and support you get from steam with updates etc is unbeatable. Steam Deck is here to stay and will only improve with time, I have heard ayaneo just makes something new and gives no support or updates because they want you to buy their newest system where as steam is improving the deck and its possibilities daily and for the long run. I love my Steam Deck!
This is not a SeamDeck competitor. The price of this clearly states that.
Definitely interested in devices like this when I came to replace my computer. I do wonder if we will see Microsoft attempt an xbox version or Windows version.
I bought nreal air ar glasses and its plugnplay with steam deck. What about AYANEO 2?
I would love to see how the neo 2 perform with steam os if it was optimized for it and battery life since it’s less demanding than windows.😊
I'm way behind on streams so my favorite part of this video is seeing the new horse by surprise.
I know that it would be much better if the Steam Deck came with a better screen but ever since I installed Decky loader and ran Vibrant Deck, it's night and day. I used to be salty that my Switch Oled and Vita (Oled) looked better than something as powerful as my Steam Deck. That's no longer the case.
So, the first thing I did was check the pricing, even before watching the video. The Steam Deck will remain relevant as long as the only things that are better than it start at a 40% higher price. And that's comparing the least expensive version of these things to the most expensive Deck. Like yeah, a $4k laptop is going to be better than a one that only costs $800, but it's not going to be better enough for what I use it for to justify it.
I spent years sort of wanting one of these handhelds, but the only real options were Atom-based crap (that was still expensive for the performance), and $1k+ items with significant flaws. The Steam Deck has made them step up their game significantly in terms of the latter, but the fact remains that the Steam Deck is the only handheld like this that could be considered midrange. The only ways that it could become irrelevant is if they pull a Nintendo and never update the processor, or if someone releases something competent enough in the $500-ish price point.
the biggest thing that makes the steam deck always win out for me is i don’t like the right thumb stick placed low. i hate that it comes down to something as fickle as that but it does for me
