My Aya Neo Pro has been great. I'm really enjoying it and it run games very smooth
Man FH5 hitting 40FPS at ultra is mad. Most amazing point for me is the fact that this is just a 4800U. Ignoring the 5800U, the 6800U, which should have RDNA2 and be way faster, in one of these handheld PC.... man, moist dreams. One cool point for the aya neo is the M.2 spec. It takes double sided 2280 m.2, which allows for up to 8TB of storage, making it a mad machine if it ever gets paired with an RDNA2 chip.
Mans Still Waiting On my Pro, Epic Video Love how you show case it
Thanks, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. It really helps us to grow the channel. Thanks!
@@DroiX_Store Already Have
Dude...this video showcase of the Aya Neo Pro was amazing! You have in-depth timestamps everywhere, the video description is thorough, and this was a clear & comprehensive breakdown of the product! Emulation testing, too?!
Bring on the hottness, DroiX! 😀
EDIT: You bring up some great points about the AYA Neo Pro in your video. For me, it would be my go-to system immediately (mainly for the AMD graphics chipset/drivers and smaller design), but...the consumers need a Switch-type of dock-to-tv setup, where a powered-up GPU could be in the dock to power through better graphics on an HDTV. That or a Thunderbolt 4/AMD XConnect adapter. But the dock upgrade would be ideal...🤔
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate it a lot and are always working to improve our videos. We will be making an additional video next week with gameplay footage as well as emulation testing. We will be either comparing it to the ONEXPLAYER 1S in the same or separate video, we have not decided yet. It takes up quite a bit of time installing games and setting up emulators so it would have delayed this review by a day or two if we included them in this video.
The Aya Neo & Pro will have a dock for it although we do not know exactly when just yet. We wrote about it on our blog at droix.co.uk/blogs/aya-neo-2021-pro-handheld-gaming-pc-announced/ As far a I know its only the retro theme design.
Looking forward to you sending mine, it's been a long wait. Hopefully it was worth it.
Enjoyed the video. I subscribed.
Thanks!
So I have the GPD Win Max and the Aya Neo Pro, and have hours of first hand experience with Intel Xe and AMD Ryzen APU's I have one thing I can say with 100% certainty I would take AMD over Intel any day because at least when I run a game it just works, even if it's a slightly lower frame rate it runs. I have had so many Xe driver issues cause they just don't work. As of right now I'd take an AMD based APU for those reasons. Just my 2 cents from actual ownership.
The drivers are definitely something to consider. The Intel ones are pretty bad! One release can stop a game working or vastly change the performance. The AMD drivers seem to be far more stable. This is something I will mention in my gameplay video(s).
I'm still thinking if i want to buy aya neo pro or something on intel. Intel apus are more powerfull overall but yeah i was hearing a lot about shitty drivers.
@@hydzior so I have a gpd win max with the 1065g7 and the aya neo pro. Obviously I can't compare the two on performance, but I can say that many games just don't work on intel even older ones. And yeah sometimes you can setup a work around but many times you can't. I remember destiny being broken for almost a year with zero support. So yeah I personally wouldn't deal with intel till the driver issue gets sorted.
Quick question can you recommend the aya software... especially for change the tdp
Our summary in the video covers our thoughts on the software.
Definitely leaning towards the One X Player. But Does it have screen protectors that will fit it?
I don't think there are official ones, but if you google ONEXPLAYER screen protectors you will find some place that sell them.
LOVE the hand held windows gaming device wars... But I got 3 already and pre-ordered for 2 more! My favorite is the OneXPlayer. I can use this as my daily travel machine better than others. I use this over Razer Blade 14 with 3070... For travel. Keep up the good work with these videos. I think it's going to explode.
What all do you have?
The GPD Win Max use to be the only game in town. Good compromise in controller, keyboard, size and screen.
Then Win 3 came with it's 1165G7 and took orders.
While waiting for Win 3 OneXPlayer came into existance. Too late to cancel Win 3, it's obsolete as soon as it ships.
The OneXPlayer beats them all. Perhaps until Steam Deck ships. (Which is delayed again) But OneXPlayer is here now, is VERY eye catching, fast enough to be daily driver, can upgrade to 4TB SSD. lol. Touch screen. Steam machine, XBox Game Pass machine, play "adult" games.
Only gripe is the keyboard. So just use Prestigio touch keyboard which is almost exactly the size of OneXPlayer!
@@yountune9799how rich is bro 😂😂😂
When will you have the retro power back in stock? Especially on Amazon?
Hi, sorry we do not have an exact date when it will be in stock at the moment. We will however announce it on social media once it is available, hopefully by the end of next week. Thanks.
Are any of those USB ports capable of usb4/thunderbolt? Would love this if it could pair with an egpu
The intel based models are compatible and work with an eGPU.
Hello Droix. Please explain if it's possible to buy it from you with international shipping
You can use our international store at droix.net/ for supported countries.
If they could compete in price with VSD I'd be interested, but it's too much for me.
At the end of the day, its the same argument weve been having for decades now..... "Intel does THIS better and Amd does THAT better". Nothing has changed.
Yeah pretty much :) For some games one will always run better than the other.
from an aesthetic point of view it looks way better than the oneXplayer how does it compare to the Win3 though?
huh. you actually got a cabble in that rectangular box. mine was empty, and some others in the aya neo discord had an empty box as well. figured it was intentional, but looks like someone just didnt pack them in the box
Yeah there should definitely be a Type-C cable in the cardboard box. We had one in the new Aya Neo packaging as well (see our brief video last week).
how much more v-ram? the 2021 non-pro only has 3gb
I don't have one on hand at the moment but I believe it is also 3GB on the Pro. You may be able to change it in the BIOS to 4GB which I think is the maximum the chip supports.
OXP 1S is still the top end handheld imo. simply because of the larger more comfortable to look at screen, but still very good competitor in the AYA Neo Pro.
I hope that in the future Handheld Gaming PCs don't just stick to one size but offer different screen sizes as SKU options.
Personally I would choose an even larger 10' + if there was an option, I use 12.9 tablets on the go.
You going to get a Steam Deck tho?
It is going to be the best performing handheld going well into the future.
There is supposedly a ONEXPLAYER Mini coming out which will have a 7" display so having different sizes could well be a thing in the future.
Are these benchmarks running the same target resolution? Because the onexplayers screen is literally double the pixels.
all of the benchmarks are performed at the same resolution as other devices. i.e. 720p for Forza Horizon, 1080p for FF XIV etc
Why u running 1080p when the ayo neo only runs 1280x800???
@@crispynicholls Al the devices we reviewed at that time were done at 1080p or 720p because they all had different resolutions. So it would not have been an accurate comparison.
@@DroiX_Store oh right.. I thought it would of been more fair if you ran all devices at the same resolution.. eg run all of them at the same resolution of the lowest device that way u get to see how they all compare equally.. the higher the resolution the lower the fps will be.. so won't be a fair comparison.
@@crispynicholls It depends on the game, for example Street Fighter V at 1280x720/800 will run at locked 60FPS so we cant see how far higher it could go. So for games like this we increase the resolution so it wont reach 60FPS but we can see where they get to. We do the exact same resolutions for each device we benchmark, so everything is kept equal in terms of the settings they use.
My AYANEO 2021 Retro Pro just shipped! 😁 I also have the ONEXPLAYER and GPD Win 3/Max. The Steam Deck will come next year. 😝
That's awesome. I am a fellow collector, kind of sad really. Been playing my Aya Neo Pro None stop, its brilliant. Will be ordering the GPD Win 3, mostly for its portability.
@@mediaman9719 GPD Win 3 is still heavy and thick. For portability you might want to look into Odin or Retro Pocket 2+
@@xellaz Thanks for letting me know. I actual have an RP 2 + coming as well. I think I have a problem.😂
You don't have a problem. 👏🏻Gamers👏🏻Will👏🏻Game - Don't let anyone tell you otherwise :D (Meanwhile me, sitting here with all the handhelds at an arm's length)
Will be interesting to see if the Steam Deck's arrival will drive prices down for these Windows handhelds. 2022 will surely be the handheld year, Steam Deck, AYA Next, OneX Player Mini, Qualcomm, Nintendo Switch (end of year), and maybe Tencent, also new players could jump on the ship. Thanks for this nice video
I don’t think the price will fall. These Chinese handhelds are made in relatively small batches. The cost of development and manufacturing is enormous and they can’t benefit from buying components in the scale the bigger boys like Valve can. Also Valve can afford to take a hit in the cost of the SD as they expect to make money from the Steam Store. There is no way they can lower the price and still break even. I doubt if AYN have turned a profit. I like AYA but I fear for their future. It’s only a matter of time before ASUS or similar get into the game. Alienware already showed the UFO but that prototype was 2 years ago and nothing happened. Yet.
There is a new AYA device being revealed next week however so we shall see 🙂
@@discopanda28 thanks you have a point here. I know valve makes lots of money from the Steam store just like Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft with their respective stores and that's why PCs are expensive as manufacturers only make money from selling hardware and not software. I don't expect AYA, OneXplayer, Tencent (soon maybe), Qualcomm to lower prices like the Steam Deck that'll be suicidal; but even a 200 USD decrease will help. Then again, Aya has a small team to build their hardware unlike Steam that'll be working with FOXCONNS-like companies. The AYA NEXT is just a week away (,might be expensive but might have better ergonomics) than future devices and that could help them. They need to work more on PR and COMM
Why is it so hard for them to put a micro sd card on these! Still good with the onexplayer!
Would really be interesting to see what the Aya Neo 2021 Pro could do if it had the Steam Deck's RDNA2 GPU. GPU has been the major bottleneck for these, and there just aren't good off-the-shelf parts for them to use.
The companies are relatively small so custom chips are not feasible for them. Maybe when they are more established they can work with companies to produce their own.
@@DroiX_Store It's a bit of a vicious cycle, in that regard. To get the market they need for these, they need a compelling product at a price that attracts more than just a niche. To make the compelling product, they needs parts they can't get without having the income from a larger market segment.
@@liothesilverwing3016 Yeah. it is a very big hurdle for startups to take and unlikely to happen. Valve can afford working with manufactures for processor as well as subsidise the steam deck.
@@DroiX_Store Well, it seems it's coming on December 28th, the new Aya neo NEXT!!!
👍🏼
After thrashing the 2021 Neo on FH5 it has performed really well. High settings except for particle effects set to medium 30 to 37fps best quality video settings 20tdp. May have to lower some when weather effects come into play haven't got that far yet. The Pro would probably be worth the upgrade if you had to choose between the two and had the extra cash available.
Nice, I will give Horizon 5 a try hopefully next week. I just watched a few reviews for the game and it looks amazing!
I have it running at 15tdp now. Adjusted some settings and left the video quality settings off. Solid 30fps. Takes alot of tinkering to get it right. Looks like it could be running on an xbox one. Love this thing!
@@mandude83 I have been playing it on my home PC today. I will try it on the Aya Pro and ONEXPLAYER this week (hopefully tomorrow) and do a brief video for it.
👍🏾
I'd love to see a Red Dead Redemption 2 performance test! ❤️
Thanks I will add it to the list of what we may test.
I wondered why the graphics looked so bad than I realized I was playing the video at 360p 🤣
:)
The Aya has gyro right? Smart gamers (Nintendo gamers) know what a difference this makes
It has a gyro, I am not sure off hand if this is supported in any emulators though. I will check next time I am trying the AYA NEO Pro.
onexplayer just releases its AMD version.
What's the name of it
Yes it will beat the onexplayer i believe it will have better hardware ...that onexplayer bricked out first day i got it
Aren’t all these handheld pc like 1000-1200 quid? Yet the steam deck is coming out for just 350 quid? And is meant to be actually more powerful? Just don’t get why anyone would be the neo or 1xplayer at the moment the steam deck is gonna slay these at a 3rd of the price too
Unless you were lucky enough to get in the early pre-orders for the Steam Deck you wont be receiving one for some time. These devices are out now and as you can see work very well.
What money
Prices are at droix.net/product/aya-neo-pro/ though this model is now out of stock as its quite old now. Our latest models can be found at droix.net/product-category/handhelds/handheld-gaming-pcs/
The winning device will be the first one with a good notebook Nvidia gpu.
i own oxp and ayaneo 21 pro. there is no comparison. oxp destroys ayaneo for power, comfort in controls and especially in the screen.
also in the quality of the materials oxp destroys ayaneo.
I use the verb "destroys" because I don't find a more incisive one.
oxp is the definitive machine at the moment. whoever says otherwise is lying.
last thing: until a few months ago amd from ayaneo was superior to intel from oxp - because it had problems. today with the new intel drivers, there is no story. intel does not fear amd as it is compatible like amd, but much more powerful.
I agree! I have both the aya neo pro 2021 and the onexplayer 1s, and in my opinion minus doom eternal not properly running on the recent Intel drivers and having to run Batman Arkham asylum in compatibility mode, the onexplayer still produces better framerates. I even bumped the tdp on the neo to 20w to match the onexplayer and I still got noticeable fps dips in the RE3 remake which compared to the onexplayer there was none, and I had both consoles running at 800p max settings.
I concur. In terms of Build Quality the OXP is the superior handheld too. Since I got my OXP my Neo is back in its box most likely for good.
@Awaken King For me the difference would be more like playing on your mobile or playing on a tablet. Btw, the 1xp with amd is available for preorder on the official site. If you can afford it, I would suggest to go for the 1xp in any presentation, I dont see myself playing on a smaller screen.
@Awaken King I have the oxp and it is amazing.
STEAM DECK KILLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Steam Deck is the best
I'd like the onexplayer but it won't play call of duty cold war, and really that's all I'd be getting it for is to play cod on the go. It's a shame
Witch one do you have

@@natsu4fairytailflame991
Intel is just lacking when it comes to mobile gaming.
@@ZambonieDude Yep. And they are working really hard on changing that. Personally, I'm excited they're developing a gpu, because AMD and Nvidia both could use the wake-up call.
Steam deck FTW
onexplayer sucks, went through three within a matter of a month, every one had button issues, sent back to amazon and just converted my samsung phone into a retro gaming system with razor controller.
which version did you get from amazon?
Damn
Damn witch one you got intel amd?
One x player = bad manufacturing
@MVA are you still banned on oxp discord?
I couldn't believe the Onexplayer were being assembled so poorly. I'm glad I purchased the Aya Neo Pro. It's been amazing!
@MVA I've been defending you buddy, it hurts my heart to see what they did to you
