Update: Aya has told me that the retail AYANEO Next units will resolve the d-pad issues. Hopefully I can get my hands on a retail unit to compare the feel.
Hey Rich ill be waiting for you to make a video calling out Rachel Maddow for being a fraud. It's only fair since you called out Alex Jones, and by talking about Rachel madcow's lies it makes you not such a leftist political hack. To quote Jimmy Dore, " Alex Jones has been more right than Rachel Maddow"
If you review the onexplayer mini as well I’d be really curious to see what you liked more.
Please review the retail one. Also just like more tech reviews. Preferably in the USA but I'll take anything, really.
why are you reviewing Tech?
Bless Your Perfection
Praise the true creators 🙌
Rich Tomorrow: I have decided to trade in my PC for the upcoming AyaNeo Carlos Edition, let's get into it.

YOU REVIEWED TECH, ON THE USA!
IN 2022!
I know this is for the more hardcore demographic for handheld pc gaming but thankfully the steam deck offers a much more friendly entry price
Always good to have options out there. I'm crazy hopeful for the handheld PC market to take off.
@@Kant3n i fully agree with you man
Yeah. I'm more interested in the Steam Deck because of it's price as I believe Valve can put it at a affordable price because they can make the extra money back in game sales.
@@ryuno2097 i agree. It also helps that they have a software team that im hoping will make the user experience much more amazing.
I think the varied input methods the steam deck offers is also an incerdibly important factor to consider. I truly believe playing games on the steam deck will be the most comfortable gaming handheld when it finally comes out, that paired with the lower price and better performance, it really just blows everything else out of the water
@2:44. Starting at $1,300!!! Holy fuck! I was expecting this to be in the 600-800 range to be somewhat competitive with the Steam Deck (top tier version). At $1,300 this is a non-starter for me.
Rather buy a laptop for that price
Thats for the pro version and the regular version is $925
GPD Win OneXPlayer and Aya Neo have all been around 1000-1500
Fr might as well get a laptop they never gone get good sells wit does junks
Yeah considering rembrandt is really close now
I won't be paying above $700 for this tech
It won't even do well in 800p
Man handheld consoles are really takin off!
Ayaneo Next looks amazing! As you said that amount of storage is amazing!
I bet soon they will release something that costs alot less!!
Bad D pad and face buttons for 1300 dollars? Hot garbage
@@careyunknown3449 THIS. What good is a $1300 machine if the controls don't feel right? For that kind of money it should feel like it was built by the Gods.
You should thank nintendo for handheld gaming taking off. Too bad non of these wanna be me too handhelds won't outsell or be popular than any nintendo handheld lmao
@@redcrimson1028 ...So? Technically these aren't even handheld consoles, they are truthfully handheld PCs.
@@redcrimson1028 that doesnt make it a better product unless U r looking @ it from Business model.
Just wait for the steam deck, the price alone blasts this product away
This is why I don't want stuff like this. Support will be non-existent compared to the steam deck. Why bother with this thing.
@@woodtvnetwork you realize the steam deck isn’t gonna be sold by anyone but valve and not even on Amazon without a $250 price increase, at least!
@@bryanmiller476 Then buy it from valve LMAO
I don't get why Rich is making a big deal out of the Steam deck storage, Valve already confirmed LONG ago that even on the base model, you can just buy an M2 SSD and install it yourself.
The one big problem from the Steam deck is going to be supply.
The controller layout is a clone. These assbags gonna charge me over $1k for something they stole.
Rich : this is an awful dpad.
Rich 5 seconds later: there's nothing wrong with it.
Rich 2 seconds later: you need a better dpad.
when he says 'there's nothing wrong with it' he means it functions. He's saying it's just not comfortable to use.
$13-14 hundred? Dang happy I pre-ordered Steam Deck.
Same.
I love the steam deck
in concept
never preorder, I'm hoping and praying it's good but, history shows that preordering is almost always a horrible gameplan :(
@@GreenTeaTheTea Truth right there. but with the shortages, and scalper issues, I'm tired of losing out altogether
@@GreenTeaTheTea they lost at 2230 drive!
@@GreenTeaTheTea True, but with the deck it was a $5 pre-order that gets refunded to your Steam account if you cancel. There was almost no downside.
100+ GB games get their size from hi-res textures. The hope therefore is that devs finally give people the option to omit high quality assets from the download on PC. Should have been a standard many years ago already, frankly, considering how many people play on potato PCs/laptops/tablets/handhelds
No touchpads or gyro: definitely not better than the steam deck
I need those touchpads
Yea less features for waaay higher price...
It does have a gyro.
@@jasonreid9267 If there's video proof of it working with steam I'd love to see it
And no grip buttons
Rich finally reviews tech in the USA
I thought he was gonna spoon feed us more political bs, bout time it was something game and tech related.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
The intro was worth the wait 😂
@@blueeyejacob yes and I love those birds
The way he moves those analog sticks…is it just me or is it getting hot in here?🥵
Of course its better than the Steam Deck.
It also starts at $1300 bucks.
At that price I'm no longer looking at portables lol. Steam Deck "starts" at $400 bucks. Thats an entry point to portable PC gaming that makes the Steam Deck much easier to get behind.
Awkward, it's actually not better than the steam deck.
@@spectaa3138 Spec wise it is a big leap over Steam Deck - hence my statement. But at that price - its should be better. But it loses the value proposition which Steam Deck nails.
🤦🏻♂️
Waaaay too expensive, sorry. This should really be seen as a portable PC rather than a Switch/ Steamdeck competitor
The steamdeck is a portable PC though
@@andremartinez5307 True, but the Steamdeck is marketed more as a portable on par with the Switch with comparable specs and price point. This thing is 3x the price of either of those and seems to be targeted towards a much different consumer base
@@purestformofpeace Agreed. Steam Deck is for mainstream/majority of users. Aya Neo/Onexplayer are for people that always wan't to have the priciest pcs/gadgets.
@@purestformofpeace switch is not on par with the steam deck tho. Everybody just keeps comparing the two because they're both handhelds but it's not marketed to target switch users at all. Steam deck is a PC just like aya neo, and much more powerful than switch just like aya neo. So aya neo and steam deck is much more alike than switch
It is a portable PC
I just received my shipping notice for my next. I might get it mid next week, I can’t wait.
This is about what a high-spec laptop would cost. The Deck is aggressively lowering the price to compete more with the Switch than with PCs, but this is a reasonable asking price.
The Deck’s internals are about as good as this thing and it’s half the price for the middle model. 1,300 is nowhere reasonable and is likely due to the storage tbh.
Rich Tomorrow: I'm going to rob your house with this outfit. Let's break into it.
$1300!? Could get a PS5 and Series X AND A SWITCH with that price. So much nope!
None of these things are a PC.
@@Goldy01 You HONESTLY think this thing will outperform a Series X? Who cares if it’s a PC, it’s price is way too high considering Steam Deck is on a competitive price range.
I dont think the Steam Deck's storage will be a major issue for the type of people who watch your videos. Most will just upgrade to a larger capacity SSD and ride off into the sunset.
Lmao nice starting video, your getting closer baby, let's hit the 1mil
Haven't even got my first one and this man has the "Next" 🤯
Better than the Steam Deck? Maybe in certain games or workloads that are heavily CPU mutli-threaded, but for the price the Steam Deck offers far more performance for the money. The RDNA2 GPU and quad channel LPDDR5 memory will do more for gaming than having a higher CPU core count.
Higher core count? I thought they were both quad core one is just just higher clock speed and intel with weaker iris graphics
@@MrDeadmanwalken1 The Aya Neo Next uses Ryzen APUs with Vega graphics. The base model is 6 core and the top end model is 8 core.
@@03chrisv oh i wasnt aware. Eitherway the vega graphics will greatly hold it back. I just pressumed it was the ayaneo with the 5ghz intel cpu
@@MrDeadmanwalken1 I have the GPD win 3 is hugely capable portable. It's not that the Intel xe isn't capable because it is, the drivers let it down big time. Cpu wise very good though on Intel
@@MrDeadmanwalken1 Exactly. It doesn't matter if it comes with an 8 core Ryzen CPU it if its paired with such an outdated GPU. Aya Neo just basically took an ultrabook APU and put it in a portable gaming device. It'll work but it's not optimal. The Steam Deck was designed from the ground up to be a gaming device and it shows.
I have a feeling the Steam Deck is going to be marketed at tech enthusiasts and indie gamers I was shocked to see how many people in several groups for indies I'm in want a Deck myself included. Valve is smart they know the indie gaming space is set to be huge in a few years especially with how AAA companies have be fucking up lately and if they can get even a fraction of those people to get a Steam Deck they'll be golden I also suspect that it's going to sell better than people think once the chip shortage stabilizes.
Agree. Most AAA are total jokes nowadays.
Smart move from Valve.
I play indie games, tho goin through a dry spell rn, and I bought the aya neo next, essentially to replace my switch. Purely because it’s here and the steam deck isn’t. And I’d always rather go for an overkill situation than not. And the memory sitch is a bummmer. If valve have all this funding, why couldn’t they offer at least a 1 TB option.
When it comes to storage, why is everyone criticizing the storage these devices are coming with and not criticizing the stupidly insane size of modern big titles? There is no reason games haven't had 2 download options, one for people who are planning on playing in the highest textures and another for people who only want medium or low.
Because the developers intended the game to look a certain way.
Now sony and Microsoft need to get into the market with hand held units. That would be awesome . But no matter who builds new high price units the big N has the software that only they have. Who wins ?
@Fart Zilla You know that article you're most likely thinking of when you mention Nintendo suing a console reseller was satire, right? That didn't actually happen, but I guess you fell for it.
im sure valve will offer SSD upgrade solutions after launch. They already released a video showing us basically how to replace it. Valve may not actually provide an upgrade directly, but may provide a list of SSDs that will be compatible considering my minimal "currently installed" library on my pc on steam is well over 250gb, that being said, I'm not going to have 5+ huge triple A games installed at a time.
Not true they stated they do not recommend doing it.
Valve already confirmed LONG ago that even on the base model, you can just buy an M3 SSD and install it yourself
@@tumamaencosplay no way jose!!
@@tumamaencosplay they didn't actually confirm this. They confirmed the SSD slot existed in the machine in the base model, and everything else was speculation by media outlets who reported on it. someone did a video speculating the type of SSD it might take (its a specific size of m.2 drive) but said even then, its possible only specific brands/models will work.
@@myztklk3v smoke sum
Can't believe we live in a timeline where Rich reviews tech
It’s 2022 time for people to stop complaining about D Pads.
99% of games use the analog stick for movement
Not every game is 3d. You can use analog stick for 2d but it's more efficient to use the dpad. Regardless of its usefulness (or lack thereof) the ayaneo does have a dpad and if its faulty it would be irresponsible for a reviewer to ignore that
2D games play better on D pads, not to mention most retro games.
If you're paying over 1000 dollars for a product it needs to hold up to some fucking standards.
biggest factor for me is the steam controller layout if AYANEO NEXT had the same layout i would choose that, i can live wit low storage 2 aaa games or a couple of indies is more than enough just to use when traveling or on my lunch break
About time you actually review a product.
Sony needs a new PSP ASAP
No god please no
Loving these handheld PCs
Richie reviewing tech in the USA? What a time to be alive.
I thought of an idea for an episode of American Dad Ricky Spanish versus stelio contos
No emulation test? That's disappointing.
great review rich . but it little expensive for me I probably wait for the steam deck . maybe down line I probably think about getting it .
Rich : Hey, I just got a Turbo Express
Intro Guy : AYANEO Next...Next
ReviewTechUSA actually reviewing tech?!?!?
Interesting to see windows on a device this small. It would be cool if microsoft had a Console UI just for windows which you could boot into. I know you can use steam big picture but it's pretty jank.
I think using tablet mode and setting the display scaling really high can have about the same effect.
@@FireWall. I’ve not used one of these before so hard for me to say but I know from building PCs for the living room having the Xbox UI on there would be awesome.
@@Edmundostudios I mean the tile interface on windows is basically the same as the Xbox UI.
@@FireWall. you can’t navigate the whole OS with a controller, you need to step in here and there with a KB and mouse. On Xbox UI everything can be done ok a controller. I know you can emulate M/KB using joy2key but it’s poor UX to navigate.
@@Edmundostudios I was more thinking of navigating the OS using the touchscreen.
The horse will be back with vengeance
I'm still buying a Steam Deck cause it's cheaper. Lol I'm waiting on the 256 GB one.
Me too! Q2 can’t wait
@@roadrash2005 I'm Q2 too!
@@Anime_Fan_0069 can’t wait to download Retroarch and use the steam deck as an analogue pocket lol.
@@roadrash2005 Me too! The analogue pocket is alright, but not worth the price. Lol Retroarch for the win!
@@Anime_Fan_0069 Did we just become best friends?
Easy to have 10TB in your portable device if you're willing to go all out for video games. Personally I'll have the ridiculous emmc drive hopping I can upgrade it later. But if I can't I'll deal with it and make concessions. And if it really really blows I'll sell it and get a switch I guess...
When Rich said "Bad D-Pad" I instantly thought of me scolding my Dog! "Bad Dog"
the steam deck is still better by price alone.
I mean, the price is high due to the storage, but I agree, the price is a big oof cuz not only is the company small, but the specs on the performance on this device is still behind from Valve’s Steam Deck.
Yeah, I don't see any of these companies (Ayaneo, GDP, etc.) being competitive. I'm sure they'll still sell to hardcore enthusiasts but most people will go for the Steam Deck just by the price. I don't see a Steam Deck competitor coming unless some company like Microsoft or Sony decides they want in on the market as well since they're the only ones that can afford to take a loss on these like Valve can
Now is it possible for me to put those joysticks on a switch or would it not fit? I'm seriously curious
😲
Can it be that Rich is reviewing tech in the USA?
Well duh it can have more storage but at 3x times the price, very and i mean VERY hard to get even in the US, i live in central america imagine how hard and expesive is here
The only reason I would ever consider buying an AYA NEO is if I can use it as a streaming console where I can play all my PC/Xbox games on the go.
You can do that too actually
Am I the only one who thinks Review Tech looks like actor David Cross?
Rich.... 512GB is enough to hold 6 to 8 AAA games, not 3 to 4. The average AAA game is around 50GB to 70GB.
Unless you have all the recent COD'S lol
Good work @ReviewTechUSA love the content bruv 😊
$1300 + squishy controls? This one is DOA.
$1300 to be an early adopter to an inferior product? steam deck around the corner so why buy it?
Great review Rich! 🐓🐓
Had a problem with no micro sd card, before but the way they make the system, it is easy to upgrade the nvme drive!
I'm waiting for the Next Pro
Finally, a tech review from the USA from ReviewTechUSA
Rich tomorrow : Let's get into it by getting into it , let's get into it.
Steam Decks pricing is just too good even with the low storage capacity. I mainly play retro and indie games anyway so that wouldn't be an issue.
personally its a cool portable pc but id much rather use that same budget for a pc rig
Tomorrow: The AYANEO is way better than the Switch. Let's get into it.
Interesting, Taki Udon didn't have any issues with the AYA software.
AYANEO next>start up settings>open steam on start up. Steam>big picture mode. BAM! Steam deck without Linux limitations.
1-4 hours battery life is kinda bad these days phones can sustain 6-8 hours of gaming. You might go like lolphones but these days Android has gone pretty far even capable of emulating Switch.
you really can't ask these systems to have the battery life of a phone when you see what they can run.
@@spectaa3138 exactly, trying running Doom Eternal or Horizon Zero Dawn, Star Wars Jedi fallen order and many others on a phone
A phone and a handheld pc just isn't the same comparison. Ofc most things will beat it, they're not capable of playing AAA games
how much storage does the steam deck have!? what!? I just had to buy a 1TB SDD for my xbox series x after 2 weeks..
More than double the price of the steam deck if I'm not mistaken so should be much better 😅
$1300! That's ridiculous!
Pulls out $1300 iphone.
Wait, does Rich have a review Steam Deck?
As a Nintendo gamer, the best part about these new handheld gaming PC's is the insight it gives us on what to expect from the next Switch. After seeing the Neo Next and the Steam Deck in action, people should temper their expectations on performance for the Switch 2. The Switch form factor is much tighter and thermals and battery life much more strict. In portable mode, the Switch 2 will need to operate on 6-7 watts. Even with developers targeting Switch 2 hardware and having low level access, it will be lucky to match the visuals seen on this Aya Neo Next.
The switch 59 wouldn't even "match" a handheld pc lol. There's a difference between being restricted to eshop games and having the option for any software you want.
Already planned on getting the Steam Deck as I was able to afford that, just having to wait till q3 at the earliest to get my steam deck after the 2 month delay.
Rich putting on the gloves like he's about to pull an Anton Chigurh from no country for old men
Costs an arm and a leg so no
I hope @Playstation takes notes on these analog sticks 😂
It's a lot of money for a handheld would like to see a video Turing this into a gaming setup. External monitor keyboard mouse and controller
Steam deck. Maybe if Ayaneo and onexplayer both have fix the squishy Dpad. I would of been interested. That is why couldn't get into buying a onexplayer mini because of the dpad on my 8.4 onexplayer. Even the budget friendly Retroid 2 plus has a better Dpad! I place a pre-order on that since it has improved over the retroid 2. Steam Deck also has back paddle buttons, touch pad and gyro. 1/3rd the cost? Can't wait to get my Steam deck.
Dpad is apparently going to be fixed but we need to wait until the retail units hit the streets.
Thanks for the review, and great work done by the OEM. Maybe a bit early but I would love to see a this device to be designed as a cloud gaming device with 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and a 1080p res screen. But slash cost on the compute power of the device. Targeting 399$.
So an ayn Odin lol
I ended up returning my next, loose left trigger, ayaspace button made weird crunch sound every 10 presses and backlight bleed. None of this issues where ready bad but all three together drove me nuts. They should have these issues fixed with the mass produced units coming out in a couple months. Aya was great to deal
with. I have a steam deck coming so I’ll just wait for that for now.
it looks great and sounds great but i cant help thinking with a extra $500 to $1000 you could get a better P.C. and who would take that outside unless you had a bodyguard.
Phones are in the $1000 range now adays too
I've been updating the Ayaspace since it first came out and the tdp and other things always worked fine on my Aya Neo Pro 2021.
Should not offer a windows handheld without nvme storage in 2022. If they want a lower end storage drive just do pci-e two lane nvme or sata SSD. no 128gb drive or emmc Wich is slower than sata 3.0 ssd.
If the steam deck was out this would have no foothold lol. It's banking on people having more money than patience for a comparable device.
Audio is really out of phase on this video. Was giving me a headache so I had to take out one of my headphones. Probably want to look into that.
I cant believe he said to take notes from 8bit-do lmao I never thought id hear that. Says a lot....
Why does Rich look like a stereotypical home burglar in an average police drama? And why is he actually reviewing tech?!
Forza horizon on low settings looks like a 360 game lol. 100 fps isn’t worth that much of a dip in quality
The advance blows that out of the water and it blows the steamdeck out of the water too
I just want to play games. They need to make it with an interface that makes it really easy to play games if that’s all you want to do with it.
For its price tag, i hope it is better that bulky steam deck. If not, i rather buy a laptop with rtx 3050ti or 3060
OMG, Rich is actually Reviewing Tech! On his channel that's called Review Tech USA!
Yeah, the Steam Deck is coming, but for those lucky few that pre-ordered it in the first few minutes.
Heck, I pre-ordered it a few hours after it went live and am in "After Q2." So I don't think there will be very many Steam Decks. I don't think anyone who didn't pre-order it on day one will get it this year. So it all comes down to how much you want to spend and when.
Because there may well be a more powerful alternative BEFORE you even get an opportunity to order the Deck.
rich about to put in that work the way he puts those gloves on lol lol🤣🤣🤣
Spend $1300 to play demanding games on low settings for best performance.
I don't even have to think twice about not buying one.
Imo I prefer a bit of an intro about the product before deciding to watch.
There are literally micro SD cards that are faster than hard drives people still play on butt oh no longer load times what ever will you do
That price.. No. Just no. I'd rather buy a top-of-the-line kayak and enjoy the outside world.
All these handhelds look awesome but aweful expensive. Im glad switch makes their stuff more affordable thank goodness. Though look forward to the day someone makes a good hand handheld switch that's designs to be pure handheld not a tablet/computer. I know steamdeck come close but not my cup of tea honestly. Too big for me.
Waiting for the steam deck review .
Rich did you ever review the Arcade 1Up machines , Atgames Ultimate Legend, or the iircade products I was just curious if you had a video and maybe I missed it the past if not I was just curious on your thoughts on them.
That intro was glorious
