    Linus loves handheld PCs and has been carrying around his AYANEO as a daily driver for months now, but with the new AYANEO 2 and Geeks' improved specs, they could take over as the king of handheld PCs... as long as they work..!

      I think the geek having an 800p screen is the better option for gaming, the steam deck shows that 800p can look good at such a small size and it makes games easier to run, sure you could run the game at a lower res then the screen but not every game scales well

    Soundtap is great for some SNES games and older games. Depends on how much bass is in the soundtrack.
    The sound and feel of snapping a ribbon at the end of a stage in Super Mario World is incredible with SoundTap.
    Also helps the immersion of Hi Fi Rush, in my opinion.
    SoundTap is a great idea that needs more refinement.

      Although I will admit I was using a steam controller which is very strange and and of itself.
      Edit: It's called Tetris effect and playing it on the steam deck was better. Still preferred to turn it off however.

    • @stevenolson3977
      @stevenolson3977 Před rokem

      @@bland9876 The SoundTap is more subtle than that. The frequency response range is pretty low, so unless a game is really intentionally super bass heavy it usually isn't too distracting.
      There are some situations where SoundTap is awful. The Gameboy Advance startup sound is horrendous to hear and feel with SoundTap on.
      SoundTap is such a perfect application of the "HD-Rumble" motors. It really needs a "whitelist" of sound-effects to make it more reliable and immersive.

    Nice devices, but there is ONE THING all of them, besides the Steam Deck, get wrong. On a handheld, contrast to a controller (big fan of the XBOX controller layout), both analog sticks need to be on the top edge.

But, as far as a type of video by a certain creator, any foldable device reviewed by Michael Fisher (aka Mr. Mobile) is an absolute must watch due to his enthusiasm for that type of device. You just can't fake that. The second such must watch is a video on a new handheld gaming device from Linus. Same thing -- his enthusiasm for the segment bleeds through the video.

    Ayaneo still have the same problems with these models that they've always had: the price, running Windows (a truly horrible OS for handhelds), the fact that they'll obsolete these with new models in 6-12 months and the support/community (they're produced in the thousands, not millions, so will always be a niche within a niche).
    Going their own way with a Linux-based OS is just bizarre - not only have they failed to launch it with these models, but SteamOS 3 is out there already and running really well. Some co-development with Valve to support the models and they'd have been able to ship these with Linux instead, which would have made them a lot more attractive.

    I replaced my Deck with an Aya Neo 2, it is great and better than Deck overall, but being mainstream Linus didn't mention that battery life is overall worse than Deck despite being bigger. Aya 2 draws more power than Deck while in idle since it has more premium components, also the 6800U is great but only from 15W and above, at any lower TDP it gets outperformed by Deck, so you need to use a higher TDP meaning less battery life. So be aware, you get better performance compared to Deck but also less battery life, which is not that great on Deck already

      @@rzul it really doesn't look "much worse", at the pixel densities we are talking about here its not that bad. It does cost a little extra sure, but the point I was making, is that there are tons of games you can run on the lowest tdp, even at 1200p that are locked at 60, and they are going to look just a bit nicer and crisper at 1200 than 800. Also any sort of video playback is going to look substantially nicer. In those cases having the 800p screen isn't getting you any extra frames, and is all downsides, other than saving 100$ which also gives you half the size ssd. Throw in the fact that the 1200p panel is extremely vibrant and bright, and there's been no reviews of the 800p to show off if it is nearly as colorful, thats not a downgrade thats worth it to me just for the ability to run some games faster at 800p and have it be native.

    As always, Aya's products are gorgeous, really well specced and surprisingly high performing but I could never justify the kinds of prices they charge. Heck, even a Steam Deck is too expensive for me when I've already got a very powerful PC.
    That said, after getting a cheap phone mount controller (Gamesir X2, like a Kishi but cheaper) I'm definitely a convert to the Android handheld systems, even though mine is just a phone.
    I use it mainly for emulation, primarily for the DS and 3DS, but I use it a lot for Steam Link streaming. We don't really have cloud gaming in my country (I think Xbox's one is maybe coming in beta in a few months, that's it) and I don't really have a need for gaming outside my house so streaming from my PC with a 3080 to my phone is amazing. I can happily run Elden Ring at 100+fps on a device as small or smaller than these at a fraction of the cost.
    What I'm saying, really, is I'd love some reviews of similar Kishi-like devices and even full Android systems with proper SOCs in them

My only complaint is my unit can get pretty hot.

      I came from the steam deck to the ayaneo 2. The only thing i missed from the steam deck is the speakers and the battery life. I needed windows because I can install other game hubs besides steam store. Also some games that I play requires a anti cheat app that it needs to install and to be able run it. Sure you can mod the steam deck to do exactly that with windows, but with companies like Ayaneo to make its native controller function to work with windows and in game automatically is a god send. Don't have to deal with so much configurations, especially when I have to somehow factory reset the thing.

Replacing the screen on something is already a nightmare in cost if you don't want to do it and a nightmare in process if you want to pay someone to do it.
