@@ScatteredBrain it broke instantly. Got a second one and it did the same. Shame. Getting replacement fan and speakers since that was the issue both times. POS hardware
Thanks for the video. I was wondering would an Ayaneo Air Plus 6800U/16GB/512GB at 549USD be more worth it? I am looking play games like God of War/Devil May Cry/Persona 3 Reloaded at 720p.
Possibly! I can’t speak to those game specifically but I’d say the 6800u is performance wise most comparable to Steam deck performance. I think the Steam deck is slightly more power efficient… so the 6800u will need more TDP than the Steam deck for the same performance but not by much. For those specific games my guess is the AYANEO Next Lite won’t run them remotely well enough, but it’s a lot more likely for the Air Plus. Thanks for watching!
@@ScatteredBrainThanks for replying! I decided to get a 7640U (I just realised it has the same compute units as the Steam Deck's GPU), hopefully power efficiency is closer to the Steam Deck with maybe better performance.
I wish they could have made this with a 6600u. I like the Loki but the screen is a little small. Still I might buy the 4500u model if they still sell it for 300 which O don't see. I am a cheapskate and I'm still rocking my Odin Lite
That would have made it way more on par with the Steam Deck’s performance! I did just notice that for some reason they’re not offering the 128gb for $300 now. But it’s a hard sell. 128gb is really just barely a few games. I think for $50 more to get 512gb is a good trade off! Thanks for watching!
@@ScatteredBrain but if you're mostly playing 2D Indie games and old games on retroarch You can fit a pretty good number on 128 gig, but I know if it's a Windows machine Windows will probably take up a decent chunk of that 128 by itself
Really no comparison. You’re getting a lower powered windows device or an android device. They each do some things better than another and I think that’s what you need to consider. Thanks for watching!
Hello sir , just came across this video, I was thinking about getting this console, however the reseller in my country only has the 128gb storage option, if I get a ssd is it easy to upgrade ? For example do i just need to download windows and that’s it , I’m afraid of losing the support for those buttons that you are able to change tdp as an example
You can definitely do the upgrade to the SSD! You can clone the old drive to keep it 1:1 if you buy that extra hardware. Or check the AYANEO site to see if they have the drivers available for download (they should). Thanks for watching!
Since this is a lower spec system I don’t think I’d look to it for some intense rendering. I doubt it would run Blender smooth enough. I wouldn’t think any of these gaming handhelds are specced high enough to do anything quite like that. You’re going to need a GPU for that! But you could pick one of these up AND an external GPU to get that kind of config going! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@ScatteredBrain what are you doing going on an expedition while playing these? Lol I'm just laying in bed while playing I'm sure it would be fine haha
I think people are approaching this thing wrong, I think it’s more like for older titles, I want a handheld console that can play 2005 to 2015 era games and I think this’ll be perfect for it, I don’t want the steam deck cuz what’s the point it’s battery life is like 2 hrs like bruh 😂
Steam Deck battery can be optimized for older games that are less demanding - but yes all of these PC handhelds BIGGEST limiting factor is the battery. I do think the Lite fits well as a viable option specifically because it’s already pre-loaded with windows - something that requires a fair bit of tinkering with on Steam Deck and isn’t even fully functional yet (still missing or non-optimized drivers) Thanks for watching! 😊
hmmm for me would be the next lite perfekt... ijust try to save some money...but its difficult as three years of beeing homeless.... idont want any smartphone nut i need a ultramobile device like this...and my beloved maxpayne 3 would run good enogh on this maschine... some body would sell it to mee for cheap good price?!
Seems like a way over priced emulation device lmfao. I mean windows? Its a poor mans rog ally or legion go at that ooint, except with none if the power. Throw that in with the VAST amount of other aya neo prosucts coming out every other month. This device is basically shovel ware at this point.
It’s really the low price point that makes this appealing. The crowd that wants PC gaming on the go and maybe has a backlog of older games. Thanks for watching!
It’s running windows unless you install linux on it. Steamos (on the steamdeck) is better optimised for the formfactor than windows. So I rather have that
Been loving mine. Even runs TotK in in toughest parts really well!
Does it play rd2?
@@Blu-wp7uc hi, yes if you look up ghosty games, he has a video of it running well
How is the battery life?
@@Blu-wp7uc what is rd2? red dead redemption 2?
@@socio637 yes
I finally got one! The guy I bought it from upgraded the SSD apparently, so I’ve got a treat coming in the mail very soon. Amazing video!
So fun! Enjoy the device! Thanks for watching 😊

Hey,
I just want to thank you for making my searching go fast with specific details,
also I support you to have a great success.
thank you
Looking forward to getting it ! Great video ! I need something on the side to play some of my other games that are not on steam.
totally a solid option for some casual gaming and easily access other launchers!
Thanks for watching!
Hi, a question: how do I enter the bios and start Batocera? Thank you

They will be, when they all come back in April
@@ScatteredBrain but if you're mostly playing 2D Indie games and old games on retroarch You can fit a pretty good number on 128 gig, but I know if it's a Windows machine Windows will probably take up a decent chunk of that 128 by itself
How does this compare to the Ayn Odin 2 and what is the battery performance like?
Good question.
Really no comparison. You’re getting a lower powered windows device or an android device.
They each do some things better than another and I think that’s what you need to consider.
Thanks for watching!
@@ScatteredBrain what's the battery performance like and higher end emulation?
Emulation is Great with retroarch and big box.
Up to ps4 games!
Battery life is around 2 hours
Did the holo os start working yet ? If so can you please make a video for it,?
so what's the selling point over the steam deck?
Cheap, Windows, Game Pass, Good emulation 😊
it also has big storage capacity for relatively cheap since it's a 2280

I think it's weird that you kept showing footage from Zelda throughout the video. It's distracting
Good choice in colorway 🎉 I'm using same
where can I buy?
I’ve got it linked in the description!
Thanks for watching 😊
hello! can this run blender and other 3d programs?

Dose botw run well?
Couldn't you hypothetically get a usb c flash drive to add to yhe storage on this device?
You COULD, but do you really want a flash drive sticking out of the handheld? I’d be afraid it’s going to break off 😂
@@ScatteredBrain what are you doing going on an expedition while playing these? Lol I'm just laying in bed while playing I'm sure it would be fine haha
does this run fallout new vegas and darktide well?
Why wouldn’t it be able too run new Vegas well? It’s an old game. The only issue is if it’s compatiable with windows 11
Can it run PS3 and 360 emulation, ok I see it can't still sweet though. It will still run a lot.

The weight of the product is 720g, so how can it be ‘LITE’? lol
Lite as in, in features not light as in, weightless 😅
Thanks for watching!
The price is "LITE" on the wallet
And then they raised the price and steam lowered theirs which makes this doa
Hate Linux.. and the weight of Steamdeck is horrific

Thanks for the review. Now I know that the product is not worthy, because, the lack of SteamOS and an Oled screen. 👍
Thanks for watching! 😊
Gross its running on some Linux? No thanks. I noticed all the cheap handhelds are running on some trash Linux.
Steam deck runs on linus too
It’s running windows unless you install linux on it.
Steamos (on the steamdeck) is better optimised for the formfactor than windows. So I rather have that
@@PatrikKrondebloated windows runs games much better than Steam OS, check Atlas OS
Okay, do these prices sound reasonable
GPD Win 4: $800-$1000
Ayaneo next:$1000-$1100
Lenovo Legion go:$700
Ayaneo 2:$1100-$1300
They're all windows handhelds
You're welcome😊
