Ayaneo Slide Review | Gaming Handheld With Hidden Keyboard!

- Reviewing the Ayaneo Slide, a Windows gaming handheld with a built-in keyboard, including full unboxing and testing out the AAA gameplay. This is one of the first portable gamers of 2024, and the Ayaneo Slide can smash through even intensive games on higher graphics settings with that AMD 7840U performance. Here's a full tour including benchmarking and my gaming experiences so far.
Check out my reviews of the other best gaming handhelds right now, including the Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Legion Go.
Compared with those machines, the Ayaneo Slide is actually quite compact despite its sliding screen and keyboard. That 6-inch screen is an IPS panel rather than AMOLED and a mere 60Hz display, but it's sharp and bright enough to get gaming even in quite bright conditions.
That battery life is awful, as with most Windows handheld gaming devices. However, the Ayaneo Slide does pack impressive power, to keep games like Forza 5 and Doom Eternal playing with a fluid frame rate even on high detail settings.

No one expected PC Handheld market to have this variety. Aya Neo Slide, Lenovo Legion Go, Asus Rog Ally and Steam Deck.
Aya main one too that just came out the
This video is like a virtual hug. Thanks for spreading love!
I have to say, I'm more impressed with the box than I am with the device! Too bad more manufacturers don't pay homage to the past with some good inspired, fun packaging! (although ASUS seems fairly creative) I don't know how you have time to get these things all setup, games loaded, etc., let alone make a great video.....just discovered your channel this year and I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work! Cheers from the US and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Chris. All the best in 2024.
good review once again chris
keep up the work rate
Why did I wait so long to sub to this channel? I'm on the verge of buying the Ayaneo Flip (keyboard version). Would love to see you eventually review that as well. Thanks for the deliciously salty content!
Oh man, I had Nokia 6790 Surge during childhood and this is just so nostalgic
I always find Ayaneo to be a bit high priced for my taste...but this looks like a fun console to futz around with. Fantastic review Chris, you make an old coot like me understand it all 👍
Deck OLED is half the price and amazing bro
not at all@@sTuPiDiScOoL_
Even after losing weight my brain still seems to be in "fat guy mode"; when you said the thing weighed about 660g my brain went "ah, so about the weight of two toblerone".
Cool and thoughtful design
This is giving the GPD WIN 4 some comp , i like the tilt feature .
the sidekick the grandfather of every console and gaming pad lately
Ayaneo, the only company named after what you say when you're trying to remember the name of the protagonist from The Matrix.
Wishing you and your liver a very happy New year 🎉
Modern sidekick slide . Niceee😂
Or a Nokia N900
This reminds me of the good ol' sidekick back in the day - showing my age 😂
I've been _really_ excited to see more reviews for this one, considering this seems like it could double as a legit UMPC like those from 15 years ago. But I've heard that they've been slacking in QC & support, so I'm more interested in long-term reports.
yeah.
Ayaneo is doing pretty well and is beginning to solidify itself as a premium name for handheld gaming PCs, even becoming recognized among the bigger names like Asus, Lenovo and Valve's steam deck.
however if Ayaneo wants to remain a premium brand and charge those premium prices, they also need to have a premium or at least adequate service.
Establishing good customer relationships is beneficial to both consumers and the company as it establishes a reputation and brand loyalty.
Even if customers have a bad product, that customer service relations can be a great deal in some assurance.
What watch have you slammed on those kinder like wrest mate. It looks good! Want to buy it
If use this console like portable windows pc installed keyboard will be very comfortable I think. Thank you and I wish you happy new year, many good events, moments in next year, also I wish you good luck.
For any youngsters watching, a VHS is like a DVD only a little bit less fragile, without a DVD menu, and you have to spend a good couple of minutes rewinding it after you've finished watching whatever video is on it. In other words, great if you're a nostalgia freak but terrible if you're someone who likes the practicality of not having to rewind the whole film once you're done watching it....also, if you have photosensitive epilepsy I recommend turning the TV off before pausing any VHS tapes; analog pause is not the same as digital pause.
The "UUH...yuh...ni...o" 😋 slide is actually exciting, even those who don't like the form factor, what this shows is handheld gaming PCs are branching out with further diversity, innovative features and ideas.
Future iterations will get better.
Imagine an Ayaneo slide but instead of a keyboard had a second equally sized screen instead.
Ayaneo slide duo screen.
I’m thinking of buying one, but changing to steamOS rightaway, it looks awesome
Finally something NEW! Is the keyboard just large enough to be used normally, typing with all ten fingers? What about WASD gaming? Maybe with the analog stick instead of plugging in a mouse? A bit silly perhaps, but this thing has my head filled with ideas, it seems fun. Sad to hear it's an IPS and basically Bluetooth audio only. But for the right price point (likely wait for sale) I still might pick it up. Performance looks great for a handheld of this size.
No, too small for 10 fingers. While you can fit them on the are, you will most likely mistype all the time. . And I would not use it for WASD gaming. A stick would not give you the precision you have with a mouse. Better stick to gamepad controls and auto aim.
For audio I grabbed a USB-C headphone. The keys area great for basically everything but gaming. It might come in handy if you attach a mouse and play old graphical adventures that use the letter at the beginning of the commands as shortcuts.
The performance is about the same as on all other handhelds with that chipset +- some percent, depending on the situation
Uncle Spurt - "mollified glowstick waving raver" - ahh takes me back, cheers
I’m waiting for the flip DS model, it’s everything I loved as a child with Nintendo but with more power. The biggest concern is if it can run city skylines II, or Beam ng. They are pretty large games…
How's the typing experience when the Slide is flat on a surface with the screen tilted? Seems like it'd be better than the GPD Win Mini
I want this device really badly
However isn’t it still on pre-order on indiegogo? Is it safe to buy the ones listed on Amazon?
There is gpd wins too mate its not the first bu a stretch bro happy new year mate
You have to review the gpd win mini.
Just for future reviews nobody uses ray tracing on handheld devices it's a waste of time battery and power allocation Love the vids Brochacho
4 tb? Thats incredible
Looks 2023 version of Nokia Communicator from the 90's 😂👍
Sweet 🎉
Where do you go to buy one?
This is more appealing than the ally or legion
It's an old cell phone design. Which is cool. Can you set it on the desk and use a second controller like a switch can?
Yes, you can plug in everything USB based, this is a standard Windows PC. You can even connect multiple gamepads.
You might want to grab a HUB tho. If you have the according USB device, you can even connect it to a TV or monitor. Ayaneo is offering such a docking station with HUB, SD card reader and HDMI port for about 190$, but there are by far cheaoer solutions for it that do the same job just as good. the Ayaneo docking station is just a bit more stylish.
@@neumi569 thank you
Modern day gaming Sidekick
OI OI FOOKIN OI...it is like the T-Mobile sidekick got fat years later👀👀👀👀
tom segura reviewing an ayaneo
Damn I will keep the box.
So this is better that gtx 1650 laptop?
Your are good brother please unbox more psp is
REminds me of nokia n97 :))
Ayaneo should stop with trying to bring so many models out and start focussing on getting the price lowered
I can see why it said you'll get a big surprise.
how are they Marketing all these models
They not. They take ideas and manufacture the device after preorder.
Aww it's just a little bit too small for me. 6.9""-7.5" would have been perfect :/
Let's just wait a few years longer when the switch is outdated...
How much
It's a Nokia slider reimagined:)
£860 odd. Yikes. When I was a kid the game gear was like £180
That's true, but this thing is by far more powerful than the game gear was at its time. You can grab an evercade for about 100$ and play game gear games on it if you want.
@@neumi569 What kids are going to have nearly a grand to blow on some random handheld?
Take into account the inflation. That £180 from your era was the equivalent of today’s £860.
@@grimgoreironhide9985 No way dude, it's £410 in today's money, call it £399. This is double that price, and this price point has virtually no customers.
And that game gear did nothing more than play videogames, while this can play any modern PC video games, and use it as a PC.
Not gonna lie it’s a great design but I wish it had back buttons 😢
Funky screen🎉🎉🎉
I whant it just for the packningen
i wanna see if slide can handle MHWI
I’d rather use a virtual keyboard than one of those tiny stiff slide out keyboards.
6:48 Is that Forza Horizon?
Remind me of blackberry
Terrible idea putting the USB-C port at the bottom for charging.
That viewing angle isn't ideal.
There is two USB type c ports. Top and bottom
Id buy it if it was oled
I am a bit of noob could anyone tell me whether i could play offline ?😅
Yes if your game has an offline
If it has a phone i can pretend that it is a blackberry or sidekick.
It doesn't feel cheap because it isn't 😂
Uh yan ee oh
This device is fixing an issue they wouldn't have if they just put Holo OS with Valve's help. Poor Windows decisions continue.
tbh thumbnail looks kinda weird
Just get BSP D7 controller and play PS2/NGC/Wii games on your phone, lasts way longer on battery and plenty of games out there, a bit more compact as well and damn cheaper, you already have the phone and the controller is like 15 quid.
Nah
Yeah i am not so sure if such design is good, a single drop of the device in its pivited display mode and the panel is going to f off to narnia
so, it's like 2010 android phone?
:)
THE FACT THAT THE SCREEN CAN TILT AND SLIDE IS A BIG SELLING POINT TO ME!
WAIT....
HE DIDNT RECORD ANY GENSHIN GAMEPLAY FOR THE REVIEW!
EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT CAN PLAY IT...
BUT A TECH SPURT VIDEO ISNT COMPLETE WITHOUT GENSHIN!
🤣🤣🤣
You don't have to yell..
@@shapeshifter-theamorphousg3264But they also don't have to _not_ yell....if that makes any grammatical sense.
I have it ordered on Indiegogo but be careful. A review on retro's channel he found a bug with some games where due to the physical keyboard some games won't recognize controller inputs and only sees the WASD. God of War and Witcher 3 are unplayable until Aya builds a toggle in AyaSpace.
@@MythicSunsbut yelling isn't the norm so that is the reason they didn't have to yell..
Can snap just as easy too 🤣🤣🤣
cmon bro. 37fps is not smooth... ever...
I’m thinking of buying one, but changing to steamOS rightaway, it looks awesome
Dude yes I would ditch my SD easily
