As someone who owns a steamdeck I am very impress with this handheld. The price is steep for sure but seeing a consistent 60+fps is amazing on such a small device running AAA games.
@@kristi8813 Its great! With Emudeck installed I managed to put on a lot of retro games all the way up to Ps3 & some Wii U games. Thinking about doing a dual boot system with Windows. Thats how awesome steamdeck is.
I tested Steamdeck in emulation, AAA games, cloud gaming, indi games, desktop mode. It’s big, but very ergonomic and it seems lighter than it is. Gaming experience is always good, you can hear fan only on AAA games. Battery life is very decent with light games or also with older ones, it drop down fast with AAA games. About 60 Hz, if you limit at 40 Hz and also refresh on screen is bare noticeable, you have longer battery life and less hot Steam Deck, in any case it never become hot where you handle it. You don’t know it is becoming hot until the fan start. It is a PC game experience with pro and cons, a little example, Roguebook has small text, using lens they appeared blur, but from settings I set res to 1080p, it is so downscaled to 720, but is MUCH more crisp and readable also without lens, text is no more blur. So often you have to play with settings to optimize your experience as you do on PC. If these things does not annoying you, Steam deck is amazing.
I'd love to see an 80 or 120hz display on future handhelds. As they get more powerful, playing Cod at framerates higher than 60 will be realistic. Plus, 80/120hz would divide nicely for a 40hz mode.
Why would you even wanna play Fortnite or cod on one of these that’s not what They meant for, you’re gonna have the worst experience I don’t care if they up the frame rates it’s still gonna be the worst experience you need to play those games on your series X or your PS five on your gaming TV the way it was intended so you can get the best experience in gameplay. you’re not gonna have any fun playing on this tiny screen you’re going to get a headache and it’s going to be lag city.
@@spritsfal5088 any games that are actually worth playing our trash on this thing what I mean by that is games like war zone in Fortnite games like that not games like Mario kart racing lmao that’s a cartridge that you can just throw in and play a predetermined game. you can’t go online and do anything with this handheld system it’s trash you can’t play any games that are actually worth playing.

I’m one of the few people that ONLY plays handheld devices, and even *I* can’t justify the price tag, considering the steam deck starts at merely $399USD.

However, now brands need to compete with valve’s impossibly low pricing, so the game has *totally* changed. I have a steam deck, and would 10000% prefer the performance of this ayaneo 2 (except for in GoW, idk why the framerate was so low for that game in particular), but I just *still* couldn’t justify spending so much more, when the steam deck has better customer support, trackpads (which I actually believe to be super important now with these handheld PC’s. Navigating without them would be an added pain for sure), and of course the WAY better PRICE. Not to mention that they’ll almost *certainly* have a new, better ayaneo model in 6 months or so. It’s hard to invest into something expensive when you *know* it will significantly drop in value within less than a year when new models come out. The volume in which they’ve been pumping these out is also slightly concerning as it’s hard to know how support for previous devices will be 1-2 years+ down the line. Again, based on performance, I’m picking the ayaneo all day, but for just about all other reasons, the steam deck still comes in at #1 for me (and probably most other consumers as well).
The steam deck is what you would call a "loss leader". The whole pricing strategy of the Steam Deck is to get you on to SteamDeck OS, where you will continue to buy games sold by Valve (which they take a 30% default cut on sales, after all fees and deductions it's closer to a 65% cut). Ayaneo's profits solely come from the sales of hardware, so for any like-for-like cost of producing the same product, no non-Valve company are going to be able to compete with Valve and remain profitable. The main strategy for non-Valve manufacturers is to constantly innovate and appeal to a niche market. Your only choices are, either buy a 1. Steam Deck for pricing, 2.

That was a perfect explanation, *DEFINITELY* much better than I could have done lmao
@@stefdezy1562 Thanks for the kind words. Agree with all you said, the market is definitely better with the Steam Deck. I'm getting the AYANEO 2 for 1. Support for market competition and 2. Valve doesn't deliver to Australia (probably the more important reason but I'd like to say it's for competition). Keen to see what this market will be like in a couple years.
@@draegr I was initially going to get the aya neo 2 but I didn't like that the joysticks we're directly on top so I went with the ayaneo geek because it's angled better for my hands. I'm also planning to get the ayaneo plus for 249.
you are very lucky to get all of that stuff to review... now that I think of it, you are a very big review channel so a lot of things would have been sent to you anyways.
I got mine about 3 months ago for half of the original price. All I can say is I love it! The Steam Deck was too limiting and I wasn’t a fan of dual booting, so I went with this device instead. I have no problems running AAA games so far. I know it’s not “perfect” to everyone but it’s good enough for my daily gaming needs. I also love the all-white aesthetic.
Gorgeous design on the console, the almost completely bezel-less screen design is just gorgeous with the white shell. If I ever decide to sell my organs for extra money, this is something I would spend that money on.
@@vice_tin5730 I mean it's for gaming on the go not your home setup which you can't take anywhere. Would really like to add this to my travelling kit. If I get to play Microsoft flight sim in a plane I am happy with it. 😂
I hope Chinese company keep working on this lineup cause it’s really great product, expensive with comparison Steam deck, but still good. +1 кошка жена и миска риса
Just buy a PC for the same price if you don't leave the house. But for on-the-go gaming it's pretty good I guess. I'd still choose the Steam deck tho because it has better compatibility.
@@jponz85 yup. PC's are and always will be the leading choice I go to for games. Mainly because you can always upgrade them when your specs aren't good enough for the games you play. With a laptop or a handheld device you cannot upgrade them, thus they become useless.
@@samtarooo well, you "can" technically upgrade a laptop. If it has thunderbolt 3 you can get a egpu box and slap a desktop performance gpu and keep that laptop going
2024 they are releasing the Ayaneo Next 2 which will be the first dGPU handheld.. will be massive but huge jump in performance.. also swappable batteries because it will be needed lol
I think I’ll pick this over steam deck. I know steam deck is half the price and has a support system but this form factor, better performance and screen is what the steam deck should have looked like. Obviously touch controls add to the steam deck size but I could care less for them. This ayaneo 2 will be my new psp in black color.
@@official_pol2198 nope don’t smoke at all, I have no hate towards steam deck, in fact I think it’s great. I’m not actually buying either of these as I have a built desktop for home and a gaming laptop and switch for my gaming travel needs. With that said I like and prefer imo the form factor of the ayaneo and the display and resolution is better granted 800-1080p on a 7 inch screen is more than enough for ppi. I’m just glad that developers are making awesome powerful products that could teach Nintendo a few things as of late.
@@spritsfal5088 thank you good sir. Also I was checking out the new gpd win4 which looks awesome like a new ps vita with built in keyboard and a 1080p display. I love all the new options.
Such an great device! I will consider buy one than a steam deck, the deck just sooo much like an prototype rather than an real hand held gaming console.
My experience with steam deck is very positive, I feel to have in my hand a premium product, not a prototipe (with its problems, yes). I suggest you to watch reviews of this PC because I am sure there are a lot of aspects to think about: temperature , fan, absence of trackpads, it does cost the double and I am sure it is an excellent device, but I am not sure overall experience is better than a steam deck, surely it’s much more portable! 😄
i have a steam Deck cause i dont have the money for this but hell... when i see the power i get a bit jealous 😅 well in 2 years i can get the next gen. awesome
@@MightyBWFC For you sure, but most people don't want a 14-15 inch portable console. It will most likely never be made because so few people want something like that.
@MikeHedges1993 It would basically be these laptops you see that allows the keyboard to fold right over but without the keyboard obviously. I don't know much about production and sales but surely it would result in a cheaper product but targeted towards gamers would do well considering nobody else is doing it. Bare in mind gaming laptops are popular at 17inch. Plus they'd make alot more on keyboard and mouse accessories. Just talking from a personal perspective here and what I'd like to see. Looking forward to more AR gaming glasses also.
Honestly the perfect device for hand held on the go gaming. Imagine playing Black Ops 3 lan party with your friend on the Ayaneo 2 like you're playing Black Ops Declassified on your PS Vita.
With all these handhelds gaming tablets/pc's coming out i wonder what nintendo going to be doing with next console. Though at least with the switch its a dedicated gaming console its not trying be pc/tablet. Bet this ayayneo going going cost a bit which is shame. Next to the steamdeck looks liek probally be a very good handheld. I know others out their too. I hope to see a company that successfully makes a pure gaming console with both physical and digital releases like the switch. But might be a bit before that happens but look forward to it when it does.
The switch is still a great handheld. I still use mine to play Mario Kart with the kids. Easy 3 players and keep my aggressive daughter from destroying it with that strap around her wrist, lol. Also, these other handheld are expensive because they need to make their profit. Unlike Valve, it's buy my console and my games lol
The anti consumer Nintendo will want to make a profit and so they will make it into an even worse junkyard build quality and hardware than the first one because the Nintendo fanbase also known as the Nintendo boot lickers will be happy to throw any amount of money at them even if the switch 2 ends up costing $450
@@shaydesofblue2281 i see all these other consoles out their and while their are some that are budet friendly setting them up and finding the right apps, and setting those up seem bit of a pain. Prefers a handheld and even a home console to have everything already ready for me to use and i dont have worry about adjusting anything. Isnt very tech savy so i prefer something bit more simple.
Had the OG Aya Neo but sold it since I needed money for a trip and I kind of miss playing all the free AAA Games and emulators like switch and Dreamcast. This Aya Neo 2 looks so good and tempting but the price is insane
You do such amazing job on your videos I’ve been watching them since your call of duty videos it’s a amazing how far you gone with your channel keep up with the good work
Its really impressive for the size as its very slim, im not sure it performs similar to a steam deck but its in a smaller form factor which is good on the go. The con is that it is quite expensive compared to the steam deck but it does have some pros.
@@spritsfal5088 the steam deck offers a reasonable price to play most average aaa games at a playable rate , while the Ayaneo 2 being the literal price of a gaming laptop while only playing aaa games to 60fps on average settings is really quite niche in comparison
for the price of this thing you could get a gaming laptop that would run games at least x3 times faster than it so its actually not very appealing, it's just really cool. don't think id be happy paying so much for something that can barely scrape 60fps on 720p low settings.
the appeal of this product is the handheld portability, not how powerful it is compared to a device that is 4-5 times larger than this. Clearly this product isn't for you.
This product is aimed at the HANDHELD gaming market. Why are you comparing it to a deskbound PC? I have an ASUS Zephyrus M16 with an i9 and 3070ti, and I want to buy this. Because I can’t bring my laptop and play it while waiting in some office, for example. I can pick off where I left my game ANYWHERE. That is the point of handhelds.
Dude i love that ❤ but to be honest its so expensive what the hell is that price!!!! I live in Netherlands and this is would cost me 1500 Euro!! God damn it..
Wow!’ Just an incredible gaming system to promote gaming on this one, and the look on the call of duty visional look is so cool by the time next year would be to owning this but what is I really wanna take my chose for the Monitor and the pc.
It’s incredible how well it runs all these AAA games but then again, look at how much the graphics card/chip is bottlenecking it, 30% CPU and 90-100% GPU, shame
I saw in another comment that it has thunderbolt 4 so you could hypothetically hook up an external GPU to it if you really wanted to. Of course that'd make it even more expensive at that point, but at least you have the option.
performance wise it already is... and why would they lower the fan noise at the cost of performance? a device this small needs as much air as it can get. It's calm the way it is
You morons realize that they can have a different fan manufacturer make a fan that’s quieter at higher rpm’s right? That thing uses laptop fans. Comparing 1500rpm fan from razer to a 1500rpm fan from Alienware for example. The razer one is quieter. I know this because I own both laptops with a 3070 in it. If they do that they could lower the noise by a few db without the cost of performance
I can imagine a future where that people usually uses these machines for gaming instead of PC's .More lighter,can use it literally at everywhere,like a mini-computer.
I just played Warzone 2 on the Deck on a widescreen monitor and I was getting the same frames. Nice. My PC can do about 30-40 frames more so the Deck wins with mobility.

Once again, thank you for you reply! That was a perfect explanation, *DEFINITELY* much better than I could have done lmao
@@stefdezy1562 Thanks for the kind words. Agree with all you said, the market is definitely better with the Steam Deck. I'm getting the AYANEO 2 for 1. Support for market competition and 2. Valve doesn't deliver to Australia (probably the more important reason but I'd like to say it's for competition). Keen to see what this market will be like in a couple years.
@@draegr I was initially going to get the aya neo 2 but I didn't like that the joysticks we're directly on top so I went with the ayaneo geek because it's angled better for my hands. I'm also planning to get the ayaneo plus for 249.

you are very lucky to get all of that stuff to review...
now that I think of it, you are a very big review channel so a lot of things would have been sent to you anyways.
You’re right. It’s just luck. Not years of hard work grinding and making a brand. 100% luck.
Yeah most of brand give their stuff for review and take it if you have good amount of subscribers
One more year has been passed but it's still a dream for me to have a gaming console.
I have to admit, the bezel-less screen makes those look so much better than everything else.
I got mine about 3 months ago for half of the original price. All I can say is I love it! The Steam Deck was too limiting and I wasn’t a fan of dual booting, so I went with this device instead. I have no problems running AAA games so far. I know it’s not “perfect” to everyone but it’s good enough for my daily gaming needs. I also love the all-white aesthetic.
handheld the future of gaming
Nice job , inboxing and alls very good
The design looks like a Wii Pad without a Home button
I could buy the steam deck rn but ima wait and keep saving to get the ayaneo 2 this. this video help me made my mind up
This is what the steam deck wants to be
Yea but careful steam eck fans will be mad
@@leilavergerius9223 well they are going to be really mad when they find out he spent more on a steam deck and could’ve got a switch OLED lolol
@@thanosbustedinyourmum I know right?? Because clearly Switch OLED is a superior gaming console and for $50 less!
Deck 2 is Gonna b better
Gorgeous design on the console, the almost completely bezel-less screen design is just gorgeous with the white shell. If I ever decide to sell my organs for extra money, this is something I would spend that money on.
Looking at the specs, this device should be able to handle 1080p on all games.
No bc its handheld it can run miles morales in low everything at 60 fps

I hope Chinese company keep working on this lineup cause it’s really great product, expensive with comparison Steam deck, but still good. +1 кошка жена и миска риса
Just buy a PC for the same price if you don't leave the house. But for on-the-go gaming it's pretty good I guess. I'd still choose the Steam deck tho because it has better compatibility.
Better compatibility and pricing. You can get a steam deck and a used gaming laptop lol, or like you said a pc rig over this
@@jponz85 yup. PC's are and always will be the leading choice I go to for games. Mainly because you can always upgrade them when your specs aren't good enough for the games you play. With a laptop or a handheld device you cannot upgrade them, thus they become useless.
@@samtarooo well, you "can" technically upgrade a laptop. If it has thunderbolt 3 you can get a egpu box and slap a desktop performance gpu and keep that laptop going
My 2 grande laptop with a an rtx 3080ti is way better even with combatiblity pretty solid
@@gigchad527 Yooo really? Who asked...
1st, and I really want this, keep up the good work thank you for your videos
Looking forward to holding an RTX 6090 in my hands and playing COD with it
2024 they are releasing the Ayaneo Next 2 which will be the first dGPU handheld.. will be massive but huge jump in performance.. also swappable batteries because it will be needed lol
I think I’ll pick this over steam deck. I know steam deck is half the price and has a support system but this form factor, better performance and screen is what the steam deck should have looked like. Obviously touch controls add to the steam deck size but I could care less for them. This ayaneo 2 will be my new psp in black color.
Lol, you’re smoking.
@@official_pol2198 nope don’t smoke at all, I have no hate towards steam deck, in fact I think it’s great. I’m not actually buying either of these as I have a built desktop for home and a gaming laptop and switch for my gaming travel needs. With that said I like and prefer imo the form factor of the ayaneo and the display and resolution is better granted 800-1080p on a 7 inch screen is more than enough for ppi. I’m just glad that developers are making awesome powerful products that could teach Nintendo a few things as of late.
@@spritsfal5088 thank you good sir. Also I was checking out the new gpd win4 which looks awesome like a new ps vita with built in keyboard and a 1080p display. I love all the new options.
Such an great device! I will consider buy one than a steam deck, the deck just sooo much like an prototype rather than an real hand held gaming console.
My experience with steam deck is very positive, I feel to have in my hand a premium product, not a prototipe (with its problems, yes). I suggest you to watch reviews of this PC because I am sure there are a lot of aspects to think about: temperature , fan, absence of trackpads, it does cost the double and I am sure it is an excellent device, but I am not sure overall experience is better than a steam deck, surely it’s much more portable! 😄
It doesn't look like a prototype, it just looks bulky and very dated, reminds me of a Game Gear. Even the Sony PSP looks better.
I like handheld console so much!!
This thing is powerful! I wonder how much the battery will last with a triple a game.
At 15W 2-2.5 hrs .. if an older AAA game at 8-10W then maybe 3-4 hours roughly
@@titos7050 wow impressive!

Ok, now I need it
it sounds like it's gonna lift in the air!
Yiiiiiiii new video
It's pretty chilling 😊

Pretty solid game performance
Technology is efing crazy
Wish they'd just make a 14inch portable tablet screen with all this tech inside so we can just use our controller
A 14 inch would not be portable at all, and you CAN use your own controller?
In that case just use a PC instead.
@MikeHedges1993 samsung galaxy tab s8 ultra is perfect in size at 14.6
@@MightyBWFC For you sure, but most people don't want a 14-15 inch portable console. It will most likely never be made because so few people want something like that.
@MikeHedges1993 It would basically be these laptops you see that allows the keyboard to fold right over but without the keyboard obviously.
I don't know much about production and sales but surely it would result in a cheaper product but targeted towards gamers would do well considering nobody else is doing it.
Bare in mind gaming laptops are popular at 17inch.
Plus they'd make alot more on keyboard and mouse accessories.
Just talking from a personal perspective here and what I'd like to see.
Looking forward to more AR gaming glasses also.
8:00 This AYANEO 2 perform 10fps better than my Ryzen 5 3400G PC
I would honestly buy this instead of the steam deck if i had the money
@UC9YwRrenoXPr9q3n83l5-EQI see your point but most people buy the steam deck for games and this thing outperforms it
Triple the price for less performance...
Buy the cheapest steam deck with an SD card and you are good to go
PC is best
@@mza4739the steam deck performance isn’t all that great it handles most games at 30fps low setting most of the time
Honestly the perfect device for hand held on the go gaming. Imagine playing Black Ops 3 lan party with your friend on the Ayaneo 2 like you're playing Black Ops Declassified on your PS Vita.
Congrats!

With all these handhelds gaming tablets/pc's coming out i wonder what nintendo going to be doing with next console. Though at least with the switch its a dedicated gaming console its not trying be pc/tablet. Bet this ayayneo going going cost a bit which is shame. Next to the steamdeck looks liek probally be a very good handheld. I know others out their too. I hope to see a company that successfully makes a pure gaming console with both physical and digital releases like the switch. But might be a bit before that happens but look forward to it when it does.
The switch is still a great handheld. I still use mine to play Mario Kart with the kids. Easy 3 players and keep my aggressive daughter from destroying it with that strap around her wrist, lol.
Also, these other handheld are expensive because they need to make their profit. Unlike Valve, it's buy my console and my games lol
The switch won't be doing anything different. They are Nintendo. People will buy it to play Nintendo games regardless.
@MikeWithaBike agree, and Nintendo is the best family console.
The anti consumer Nintendo will want to make a profit and so they will make it into an even worse junkyard build quality and hardware than the first one because the Nintendo fanbase also known as the Nintendo boot lickers will be happy to throw any amount of money at them even if the switch 2 ends up costing $450
@@shaydesofblue2281 i see all these other consoles out their and while their are some that are budet friendly setting them up and finding the right apps, and setting those up seem bit of a pain. Prefers a handheld and even a home console to have everything already ready for me to use and i dont have worry about adjusting anything. Isnt very tech savy so i prefer something bit more simple.
Amazing device , you're so lucky to try it, good luck.
Are you planning to get it?
@@asianprince8718 I hope in the future.
Love my steam deck, perfect price for the base model and added the bells and whistles like a 1tb drive myself.
saaaaaaameeeeeeeee
Breath of fresh air.
That price and COD performance is the only bad thing about this thing.
Runs same as my steam deck
Just not optimized very well for pc
I just can’t handle the NOISE those handhelds make.
We need Steam Deck Pro now
Had the OG Aya Neo but sold it since I needed money for a trip and I kind of miss playing all the free AAA Games and emulators like switch and Dreamcast. This Aya Neo 2 looks so good and tempting but the price is insane

Potential winning let's talk 💝
Its really impressive for the size as its very slim, im not sure it performs similar to a steam deck but its in a smaller form factor which is good on the go. The con is that it is quite expensive compared to the steam deck but it does have some pros.
@@spritsfal5088 the what? The steam deck is fine for both scenarios at a great price point.
@@spritsfal5088 yea wtf are u talking about
Some say it's 30 to 50% bett3r performance
@@ejay3k how well does GTA V run on the deck?
@@spritsfal5088 the steam deck offers a reasonable price to play most average aaa games at a playable rate
, while the Ayaneo 2 being the literal price of a gaming laptop while only playing aaa games to 60fps on average settings is really quite niche in comparison
not bad at all for a prototype!
impressive but the asking price makes the steam deck a better option
Thank you for sharing this awesome upload, it is so good ✌
for the price of this thing you could get a gaming laptop that would run games at least x3 times faster than it so its actually not very appealing, it's just really cool.
don't think id be happy paying so much for something that can barely scrape 60fps on 720p low settings.
gaming laptops have a lot of down sides, if something's damaged it wouldn't be easy to fix. Building and investing into a PC is way better.
the appeal of this product is the handheld portability, not how powerful it is compared to a device that is 4-5 times larger than this. Clearly this product isn't for you.
This product is aimed at the HANDHELD gaming market. Why are you comparing it to a deskbound PC?
I have an ASUS Zephyrus M16 with an i9 and 3070ti, and I want to buy this. Because I can’t bring my laptop and play it while waiting in some office, for example. I can pick off where I left my game ANYWHERE. That is the point of handhelds.
By that logic, I can build at this price a desktop PC with an RX 6800XT that will wipe the floor off even $3000+ laptops.
It's a handheld...
You never fail to give us awesome content 👏 👌
Dude i love that ❤ but to be honest its so expensive what the hell is that price!!!!
I live in Netherlands and this is would cost me 1500 Euro!! God damn it..
Wow!’ Just an incredible gaming system to promote gaming on this one, and the look on the call of duty visional look is so cool by the time next year would be to owning this but what is I really wanna take my chose for the Monitor and the pc.
It’s incredible how well it runs all these AAA games but then again, look at how much the graphics card/chip is bottlenecking it, 30% CPU and 90-100% GPU, shame
Unfortunately this is the best iGPU on market now .. in a couple of years aka 2 more gens this will be unstoppable
I saw in another comment that it has thunderbolt 4 so you could hypothetically hook up an external GPU to it if you really wanted to. Of course that'd make it even more expensive at that point, but at least you have the option.
It’s actually really good
If they can figure out to lower the fan noise this will easily be the top contender
Lower fan noise increase CPU temperature 🌡️ so fan noise don't matter once I can game
its called get anc headset/phones
performance wise it already is... and why would they lower the fan noise at the cost of performance? a device this small needs as much air as it can get. It's calm the way it is
You morons realize that they can have a different fan manufacturer make a fan that’s quieter at higher rpm’s right? That thing uses laptop fans. Comparing 1500rpm fan from razer to a 1500rpm fan from Alienware for example. The razer one is quieter. I know this because I own both laptops with a 3070 in it. If they do that they could lower the noise by a few db without the cost of performance
Just lower the tdp.
RDNA3 igpu and zen 4, man that would be awesome.
Step sister said it's unbelievable how small it is but the performance is overwhelming 😁
Haha

Once i saw this game... I remember PROTOTYPE & PROTOTYPE 2 (alex mercer & james heller) and also INFAMOUS SECOND SON.... it's all look like...
I can imagine a future where that people usually uses these machines for gaming instead of PC's .More lighter,can use it literally at everywhere,like a mini-computer.
if only we can play multiplayer PC games via adhoc wifi instead of online services, then this will be another game changer.
Blows the Steam Deck away in terms of performance.
