AYANEO VOLGENDE

This device coupled with fast delivery from DroiX Global = Awesome! The Ayaneo Next Pro may be expensive, but you get what you pay for and it does not disappoint! Having so much fun:)

It is worth buying but it is very expensive it had to be much cheaper.

Less than expected

Very fun, gonna be a great travel companion.

I’ve had my Next for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it! While I’ve mostly used it to play Forza Horizon 5 (at 60fps!) I can tell I’m going to get a lot more use out of it in the future.
The biggest reason I went for this instead of waiting for a Steam Deck was that I wanted a Windows device. I have a lot of games on other launchers and didn’t want to have to experiment with proton versions and adding shortcuts to steam, and generally just have my whole library easily accessible. The Next fully delivers on that.
Aya have recently Updated the Aya Quick Tool that makes changing the TDP of the processor even easier than before, letting you fine tune the exact wattage at any time, without needing to download extra software.
Battery life is better than I expected, I’ve gotten ~3 hours of of Forza, thanks to the TDP control I just mentioned. For lighter games, you can turn it all the way down as far as 3 watts and play all day!


Removing one star for a few reasons:
First, I’ve had some crashes when waking from sleep mode, so if you are to get one yourself get into the habit of shutting by it down fully when you’re not using it. It does save battery life when doing it this way!
Second, while it’s a great device today, Aya and it’s competitors are all coming along with better hardware at the end of this year and next year, with both Zen 3 processors and RDNA 2 graphics, which should blow this thing out of the water. I’d only recommend getting this if you’re ok with being an early adopter, and don’t have a need for the extra performance future products will bring.
Lastly, while the fact that it runs Windows is great for giving easy access to all my games, navigating the OS using the devices touchscreen is cumbersome. You can increase the display scaling, but the 800p screen doesn’t have the pixel density to make that really work. I’d recommend booking up to a monitor and a mouse and keyboard while doing your initial setup, and downloading a universal launcher like Playnite or Launchboxs BigBox to make proper use of the controllers.

Overall, fantastic device, but is definitely only for early adopters in my opinion.

Product is decent but stopped charging only after a few uses. Upon looking into it, it wasn't the pro, but the 65w charger. Droix has been amazing with customer services, even though I am in Canada and addressed the broken charger. Console plays games well, but just keep in mind that's it's a probable gaming PC with a apu and no GPU card. Just expect not to play games on ultra setting. Moving from a gaming laptop and Nintendo switch to the ayaneo, I originally thought would be a big inconvenience but I would never go back. between the incredible service from droix and the performance of the next pro, I highly recommend this decice

Awesome

It's a medium sized handheld, certainly smaller than the onexplayer Ryzen 5800u. It's a great powerhouse for it's medium size. It does look and feel like a premium handheld. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of a type A usb slot, no micro SD support and the bottom type c would have been better on the top of the device, making it X2 typeC slots, one for charging and one for SSD storage. Definitely a queen bee of handhelds.
