A lot of people miss Aya Neo's. Geek, which has mostly the same specs as the Aya Neo 2. Which is only $200 more than the high end deck ($100 if you got the early bird pricing). For $200 more, you get a better screen, better controls, more ports, more power, better storage, and a cleaner design (but that is subjective). In which case, the price is definitely worth it. Essentially, a steam deck is a Toyota, Geek is a Porsche, Aya Neo 2 is a Lambo. Sure the Toyota will get you to where you need... but the Lambo is just so damn nice.
The black looks super dope especially with the red RGB. I originally ordered a white one but changed to black as I could get it sooner and I don’t regret it….and you’re not alone in wanting to game on your handheld. I’ve got a 3080 desktop and a 3080 laptop but I still like to chill on the couch with my handheld. 🤣
Nice I'm definitely gonna get a black one soon ! And yea and one of the things ima buy soon is those NReal glasses look them up they pair up great with this device
So you have pretty much confirmed my thoughts about the item.. it’s great, it has some issues, it’s expensive but it’s worth buying. I have the steam deck for now but once these newer machines get more support and become more available I can see me upgrading… 👍
I have an Odin Pro. It's a good device but since it's Android it has a lot of limits on what it can do. It only made me want a Windows handheld more so I started looking at all the 6800u devices. The Ayaneo 2 was on my list but it was removed quickly for being the most expensive of them all. Easily 100-200$ more for the comparable ram and storage options as other devices. Since I like the Odin I was also considering the Loki Max. It's one of the cheapest 6800u device but we have no idea when it will ship. In the end I went with the GPD Win 4. Love the PSP design. The built in keyboard will be quite useful for me as well and it has a track pad similar to what the Steamdeck has. 899$ for the 16gb of ram and 1tb of space. Ayaneo's equivalent is 1099$. The performance of those devices is incredible. We basically have great gaming PC from 5 years ago shrunk down to a Nintendo Switch size. It's crazy.
I’m 44, just bought one because exactly what you said, I love playing my games. I travel overseas for at least a week at a time for work and do that 5 times a year and get a lot of plane times 20hrs+ and a lot of hotel time without family around so that’s great. Have a Switch that I don’t use much as I’m not much of a switch guy, I don’t like playing on iPad or phone either. I’m excited. I’ve bought a eGPU that is already plugged into my home theatre that is connected to my TV and 120in projector. It will be a great addition to my consoles there too and I can just take it and continue playing on the go.
Just ordered the 32 GB 2TB Ayaneo Geek. Definitely wasn't cheap but I think I will thoroughly enjoy it. Also have the Steam Deck. I know what you mean when you say you enjoy playing on a handheld more than your desktop. I have a 3090 PC and a PS5 and by far my Steam is used more than any of them even when I am home.
I think theres a huge demographic of gamers who are like us where we have the funds to spend on games and even a nice setup with a gaming pc, console + huge tv etc but being at work all day, staring at monitors, sometimes you just want to sit on the couch and give your eyes a break with a smaller screen. I ended up going with the GPD Win 4 (although not sure when it will be delivered) but for now, I use my Steam Deck and believe it or not my Logitech G Cloud for ps5 local remote play and its flawless. Went with Win4 because its a bit easier to open and swap components without destroying the machine and I'm a fan of the design. Thanks for sharing!
Hell yeah man. Handheld gaming is the shit. I have a full custom loop 7950x 4090 PC (waiting for the 7950x3d to drop later this month), my desk setup is the stuff of dreams, sitting on a Herman Miller embody soon to be with my atlas headrest, running a 34" QD OLED ultra wide, and it's all also hooked up to my 65" Sony OLED in my living room with a 40' HDMI and long USB repeater. I can play at my desk, on my couch..any game, max settings, 4K.. the whole 9 yards. People would dream to have the setup I have built for myself. I also have a 12900 3070Ti 16" laptop... And yet... I still end up using my steam deck more often than any of it by a long shot. It's not even close. My wife uses the desktop and laptop more than I do for work etc. I am 33 now though, and handheld/on the go gaming is something I've been interested in for a long time and I literally could not have even dreamed of all the stuff we have today. I remember doing all kinds of stuff with my original PSP trying to get flash games working and trying to play OS runescape. I had the razer edge tablet with the dock and all that when that first came out. Rooting countless android devices. Getting android running on my hacked switch to be able to use gamestream to then screen mirror to my trucks head unit lmao. Just random shit just to see if I could make it work... With all that being said I've been looking to grab one of the other handheld options on the market just get a bit more power and options than the SD. It'll also be nice to have 2 handhelds so my wife and I can play random stuff together on the couch with something else playing in the background on the TV. I'm torn between the AN2, the new win 4, or waiting to see what's up with that monster new AN next 2 or some other 7040u based option that is sure to be on the market soon.
Damn man you have one crazy setup !! But yea these handhelds are definitely gonna be amazing in the next year to 2 years I'm definitely gonna pick up the ayaneo next 2 when it drops !!
All these units equipped with Ryzen 6800U handheld is fantastic. I have my GPD Win Max2. I really enjoy playing Dead Space Remake on it. Silky smooth even on low setting but on such a small screen, the game looks superb.
@@TalonsRebellion I love it very much. I didn't touch my Xbox-X and gaming desktop since I got my Win Max2. I am having so much fun gaming and working with Win Max2. The keyboard is very functional and the unit is very speedy as well. I tried Callisto protocol, dead space remake, Witcher 3 next gen. upgrade and many more 3A titles out there and it runs them all nicely and smoothly. With the small screen and high ppi. these game looks fantastically.
I ordered one about a month ago. Still waiting but I'm super excited. Handhelds just workout more for my life right now but I'd like to switch between this and my PC when I have the time. I also really like that they have egpu support which is great since I have the razer core x and a gtx 1080 so depending on where I am in my house, I'll go with that setup too. happy you hear you really like yours! One thing that I do plan on doing is keeping the box and packaging that they send because I may sell this later on and jump on the aya neo 3 whenever it comes out assuming the upgrade is worth it.
Great review 5:40 is why this niche market is exploding RN. I love the finish and look of the Aya Neo but pulled the trigger on the white GDP Win 4, I had the PSP when it first came out, sue me lol
Mines already on the way went for the 32gb 2 tb. White. Can't wait! But out of curiosity What feature if any, do you think could have justify the price for this badboy. And as is, what price point you think it rightfully should have been.
Recently purchased the ayaneo 2, absolutely love it! Only issue I'm running into is with returnal, I'm a console guy, so not use to tweaking settings, but does anyone know why the camera would constantly want to look up when running around in returnal? Any help would be amazing!
Did you specifically buy this instead of the Steam Deck (because of its newer CPU and GPU and display) or was it more of an impulse buy? I would only buy this because Steam Deck doesn’t ship here to Switzerland and these guys do. Or else I would’ve chosen the Steam Deck because of its better software.
I also have a steamdeck ,The steam deck definitely has a advantage in software potential but speaking on pure Proformance the ayaneo out does the steam deck by a good amount My steam deck barley gets by with my favorite games but my ayaneo plays everything in my library very well not perfect but definitely plays them better then the steam deck
Hey - also based in swiss...had to order my steam deck via stockX...absolutely worth it...but also very tempted by one of these now...will then have a mini windows 11 gaming rig (due to my razer blade completely stopped working out of the blue!)
Hello friend, I just got the ayaneo 2 retro and I would like to know if it also happens to you that when my ayaneo is blocked, the RGB does not turn off and also when there are times that I block it and it turns on, you have to turn it off by force and then turn it on
Bro, I'm literally the same age as you and exactly the same situation where I used to love handhelds ( i had everything from the gameboy color, till the vita and 3ds) Also, I have a game setup, which i love, but it's kinda difficult to play after being 9 hours behind a pc working. I find myself just approaching the steam deck to play indie games and less intensive games on the couch. Ordered the aya 2 cause the screen looks absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately, it still hasn't been shipped yet. Do you also have the SD? Also, do you play the intensive games also on the aya? Or do you stream from the rig to the aya whenever you can't maintain a 60 fps? Thx for the video, btw, just like hearing stories from similar people.
Great vid bro, just bought one. Waiting for it to arrive. How is the system playing Triple A games at normal settings. I only see video reviews playing at 800 low
I play all my games at 1920 by 1080 and they all run great tbh I pretty much play my whole library maybe like 2 or 3 games don't run well like Sons of the forest is hard to run
I am also very satisfied with this console. All games have now been transferred from steam including save ganes. However, rdr2 does not start correctly and my save game cannot be loaded either?
Some games on steam do not support cloud save sadly you might need to manually transfer the save from your pc to your hand held I'm not sure if that's possible but that would be the only way
Split between buying this one or an Onexplayer 2 I wish I could just get the Deck but with each new release its technical capabilities just keep getting weaker and weaker Even if Aya 2 and OXP2's hardware upgrades are only slightly noticeable, their native support for eGPU make up for it Would you recommend this device? Does it run Windows well? I will also be using it for Blender and Office work Id be glad to hear your input
The onexplayer 2 and the ayaneo both have the same chip set the only thing is the one x 2 has a bigger screen and detachable controller and they both run windows great ! If the onexolayer 2 has better grips it's a big sell the ayaneo 2 feels good but lacks actual grips if you ask me wait for more reviews on TH-cam for the build quality on the onexplayers 2 cuz in older reviews ppl say the grips have more wobble then they should either option is 100% worth it go for what has the better details that matter most to you
Hello, I want to buy this console, I'm wondering about the color. Do you have a white one like with use or there are no dirty marks on it like on white things?
would u consider selling your desktop PC and fully switching to the ayaneo 2 as your main pc (using dock + eGPU)? I have purchased the ayaneo 2 and I`m considering doing this when it arrives
You definitely can do that many ppl have but me personally I wouldn't I like my desktop for when I want to use it but you can definitely do that and have it work out great but just me personally I wouldn't
@@anonymousj227 Sorry if you've already answered this question but: when you ordered thru IGG - how long did you have to wait for shipping to your location? (I'm assuming your shipping address is in the U.S. like myself).
@Winking_Sphinc·ter I ordered it before their first batch so I had to wait for that but once they started making their shipment batches I was lucky to be in the first batch so 5 days after their ship date I got mine
@@anonymousj227 Hey thanks for the quick reply (subbed to your channel!) I'm looking into the same config as yours but in Starry Black. I think I'll purchase it thru IGG since it's still cheaper than Droix even though I'll be waiting for a bit since it's InDemand now. Lastly, will you be buying and doing a demo of Resident Evil 4 Remake? I installed that demo into my Steam Deck and it's awful (buggy and just not fun with that low res screen). I used Beta and Experimental to work around the issues but it's really taxing the Deck's GPU. Thanks!
@@anonymousj227 lol Thanks m ordering it now, reason I want to buy ayaneo even tho I have a switch is cause m limited by my switch and I want a handheld (am a handheld freak) that's runs all games, Xbox, PlayStation and rest without any thing like copyright or legal stuffs which Nintendo is
@@anonymousj227 I don't like playing games far away from my screen I grew up with handhelds like phones then Nintendo and I not getting or planning on buying anything else for gaming, if not handheld,
@@anonymousj227 glad there's a handheld as power as ayaneo that' can run all games know to man without issue am definitely buying it, play Nintendo games only on switch and play all games on ayaneo
Ram really only helps when you want to multitask with the device it doesn't really affect game Proformance much but personally I went with the 32GB one just cuz me personally I like the higher end models
my poor ass watching and reading the comments of people actually can afford to buy the things they like and want.... sad me 21 years old and cant even buy a phone staying with my 4gb ram pc with icore2 and no graphics card
Yea these handhelds are great ! But yea their expensive hopefully as they get older they go down in price alot more ppl would buy these if they were more affordable
@@anonymousj227 ok cool, like me then. I was a little worried as im struggling to get more than 2 hours even with 11w tdp for emulation. I get about 4 hours just internet browsing so i guess ita normal.
Can you try star citizen on this? I have seen star citizen run on a steamdeck with respectable performance for a hand-held but star citizen is known to be a ram hog and with 32gb of ram and a better cpu than steamdeck this should be playable. Please let me know and I am not expecting it to be perfect just playable
i want to get one just since its compatible with more games and more powerful out of the box than a steamdeck, got a steamdeck last week and tbh am not impressed with the performance it outputs and all the extra steps to get things to work on steam OS instead of just using windows, ive dual booted with windows. but i honestly am thinking of wiping steam os its so annoying with compatibility with games, no fortnite, destiny 2 and many others on steam os. the only thing that has me keeping the deck is steams customer support theyve always been great for me returning games way past time etc, would be nervous spending ~$1000 for one of these with aya neo kinda unkown customer support, im rooting fro them though cuz fuck steam OS lmao
I took steam os off my deck and windows runs well enough but yea the screen really takes away from the experience but some games look well like the souls games look well enough and some others too but still the ayaneo 2 really outpreforms the steam deck at higher TDP
@@anonymousj227 i was just expeccting more out of it, doesnt help when my main gaming desktop is a 4090... i play most games at 4k 120 fps... spoiled myself

@@anonymousj227 thanks so much man
Hi, for all AN2 owners, how long it took from the moment you ordered to the moment they shipped from China? TY!
3 weeks but I ordered mine before they even started shipping
@@anonymousj227 hopefully it doesn't take long. I ordered mine 4 days ago..
@Carlos Cordero when it shipped it took 5 days to get to me
@@carloscordero5749 did it come in yet?
@@woadraven717 not even close...
Why are the buttons so small ugh. The people playing this typically are not under 10 years old.
Yea they could be bigger
Dude how long the battery life if you play steam games & emulation?
Battery life can last 40min or 1hr and 30min depending on the game your playing
Hey dude are you still use the AYANEO ? And is it still good ?
I definitely use still and still in very good shape no issues at all
would u consider selling your desktop PC and fully switching to the ayaneo 2 as your main pc (using dock + eGPU)? I have purchased the ayaneo 2 and I`m considering doing this when it arrives
You definitely can do that many ppl have but me personally I wouldn't I like my desktop for when I want to use it but you can definitely do that and have it work out great but just me personally I wouldn't
I'm planing on doing the same. Will be using a Mac mini for normal desktop tasks tho when not gaming.
Can’t you just use metal thumb sticks so they never wear off?
I didn't put the caps on cuz they wear down I put them on cuz their white and they will get dirty over time I just want to keep them clean
No issue like hot? Lcd?
@eczywizzy603 screen would get pretty warm but I'm not touching it while I play so no issues for me
What about battery wise, how much play time do you usually get?
Between 40min and 1h 30min depending on the game your playing
@@anonymousj227 I’m guessing if you play retro games, you’ll get way more time
@SkyCall if the games your playing run well with a low TDP then yes you can double your battery life
Does this ship right away if buy off igg?
They ship in batches
@@anonymousj227 Sorry if you've already answered this question but: when you ordered thru IGG - how long did you have to wait for shipping to your location? (I'm assuming your shipping address is in the U.S. like myself).
@Winking_Sphinc·ter I ordered it before their first batch so I had to wait for that but once they started making their shipment batches I was lucky to be in the first batch so 5 days after their ship date I got mine
@@anonymousj227 Hey thanks for the quick reply (subbed to your channel!) I'm looking into the same config as yours but in Starry Black. I think I'll purchase it thru IGG since it's still cheaper than Droix even though I'll be waiting for a bit since it's InDemand now.
Lastly, will you be buying and doing a demo of Resident Evil 4 Remake? I installed that demo into my Steam Deck and it's awful (buggy and just not fun with that low res screen). I used Beta and Experimental to work around the issues but it's really taxing the Deck's GPU. Thanks!
What about now is ur ayaneo 2 still working
I sold it for the ayaneo Kun and I was very disappointed with the kun
But the ayaneo 2 was a great device worked and preformed well and very solid build quality not a single issue for the year I had it
@@anonymousj227 lol Thanks m ordering it now, reason I want to buy ayaneo even tho I have a switch is cause m limited by my switch and I want a handheld (am a handheld freak) that's runs all games, Xbox, PlayStation and rest without any thing like copyright or legal stuffs which Nintendo is
@@anonymousj227 I don't like playing games far away from my screen I grew up with handhelds like phones then Nintendo and I not getting or planning on buying anything else for gaming, if not handheld,
@@anonymousj227 glad there's a handheld as power as ayaneo that' can run all games know to man without issue am definitely buying it, play Nintendo games only on switch and play all games on ayaneo
Do you think getting the 32gb ram version of this is worth it in terms of better performance?
Ram really only helps when you want to multitask with the device it doesn't really affect game Proformance much but personally I went with the 32GB one just cuz me personally I like the higher end models
@@anonymousj227 thank you for your help
Have you tried it with your GPU connected? Is it any good
I have not but from what I heard others say yea it basically turns it into a desktop when using a external gpu
2:23 how do dead space play on it
It plays great I have a video on it check it out th-cam.com/video/Ei5J4ehpwUY/w-d-xo.html
Where did you buy it at online
Indiegogo
@@anonymousj227 thank you how long did it take to come
@AJ Joseph I ordered it before they started shipping but once they actually sent it out it took 5 days deliver the estimated was 7 to 10 days
Can you try ff7 remake?
Will definitely add it to the list
@@anonymousj227 thanks. I need to see how the frame rate is most especially chapter 3 section of the game
I want one of these bad lol
They are definitely great hand helds
my poor ass watching and reading the comments of people actually can afford to buy the things they like and want.... sad me 21 years old and cant even buy a phone staying with my 4gb ram pc with icore2 and no graphics card
I had a lil problem with mine here and there too
I feel like switching to windows 10 as of right now it's better then windows 11
@@anonymousj227 I will try it later
It's really cool but expensive. I do have the switch I want to buy a windows base handheld
Yea these handhelds are great ! But yea their expensive hopefully as they get older they go down in price alot more ppl would buy these if they were more affordable
Whats your battery life like?
Depending on the game between 45min and 1hr and 30min
@@anonymousj227 ok cool, like me then. I was a little worried as im struggling to get more than 2 hours even with 11w tdp for emulation. I get about 4 hours just internet browsing so i guess ita normal.
Can you try star citizen on this? I have seen star citizen run on a steamdeck with respectable performance for a hand-held but star citizen is known to be a ram hog and with 32gb of ram and a better cpu than steamdeck this should be playable. Please let me know and I am not expecting it to be perfect just playable
Definitely!
Am jealous
i want to get one just since its compatible with more games and more powerful out of the box than a steamdeck, got a steamdeck last week and tbh am not impressed with the performance it outputs and all the extra steps to get things to work on steam OS instead of just using windows, ive dual booted with windows. but i honestly am thinking of wiping steam os its so annoying with compatibility with games, no fortnite, destiny 2 and many others on steam os. the only thing that has me keeping the deck is steams customer support theyve always been great for me returning games way past time etc, would be nervous spending ~$1000 for one of these with aya neo kinda unkown customer support, im rooting fro them though cuz fuck steam OS lmao
I took steam os off my deck and windows runs well enough but yea the screen really takes away from the experience but some games look well like the souls games look well enough and some others too but still the ayaneo 2 really outpreforms the steam deck at higher TDP
@@anonymousj227 i was just expeccting more out of it, doesnt help when my main gaming desktop is a 4090... i play most games at 4k 120 fps... spoiled myself
👍🏻🙏🏻
Don't buy a black one bro 😂😂
Why not
