About this deal

IPS, no-bezel screen, 1920×1200 resolution, 323 PPI, 500 nits, 130% sRGB, 1200:1 Contrast ratio, 6600K colour temperature Connect to up to 2 external monitors and an external keyboard/mouse, AYA NEO can provide a desktop-like experience for entertainment and productivity. In Game Mode, the results get even more impressive. At 800p, all of the games in our test roster except for Metro Exodus are playable above 30 FPS, which is very impressive. Metro, too, becomes playable simply by turning down shadows and anti-aliasing options, and leaving ray tracing to full-sized gaming PCs.

With that said, there’s still room for growth and, if the past is any indication, you should expect it to change over time. In just the short window I had the console for review, I had to update the software three times for performance updates. That’s good because there are still quirks that you have to know ahead of time or are likely to leave you puzzled. Changing gamepad settings, for example, requires you to hold the confirmation button instead of press it, which left me wondering for far too long why none of my changes were taking effect. That has since been updated.The AYANEO 2 handheld PC features WiFi 6 for fast and reliable wireless data transfer. It has Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting the latest wireless peripherals such as headphones. The AYANEO 2 is powered by a 50.25Wh battery and provides hours of gameplay. Looking for a powerful and portable PC gaming handheld? Look no further than the AYANEO 2! With its blazing fast AMD Ryzen 7 technology, this handheld brings desktop gaming to a whole new level.

Because of its 47 Watt-hour battery capacity and its low power consumption, AYA NEO has great battery life: up to 5-6 hours at lower TDP settings. Up to 140 minutes for demanding AAA gaming. AYA NEO is also equipped with fast charging, a full charge takes as little as 90 minutes. But as mentioned, this is due to BIOS and/or graphics driver performance on all devices rather than hardware issues. Something that we hope to see improvements on for all portable gaming computers over time. Gameplay performance Whether it’s gaming, watching online videos, live streaming, or remote access, AYA NEO handles it perfectly with its Wi-Fi 6. It wouldn’t be a proper handheld without the usual assortment of face buttons, D-pad, and bumpers, and the Ayaneo 2 has buttons to spare. The ABXY buttons feel snappy and have good tactility. The D-pad uses a cross instead of separate buttons, which isn’t the best for fighting games, but manages to work quite well for retro platformers like Super Meat Boy. Compatible games on RPCS3 run very well. Our go to games Tekken 6 and WipeoutHD played excellent, you may see an occasional frame drop here and there but you would not notice without a FPS display on screen. Xbox 360 Xenia on AYA NEO 2S

Breaking the barriers between handheld

The AYA NEO is powered by a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor. Coupled with the integrated AMD Radeon graphics suite, the AYA NEO can provide strikingly smooth performance in numerous games and emulators and is truly considerable as a handheld gaming PC . The AYA NEO 2 handheld PC features the latest AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with 8 cores & 16 threads running up to 4.7GHz with max recommended 28W TDP Providing the graphics is the high-performance AMD Radeon 680M GPU with 12 cores running at 2200Mhz. There is up to 32GB LPDDR5-6400 MT/S RAM and up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 m.2 2280 SSD. Combined they provide excellent gaming performance, even with the latest games! Now, obviously, design and comfort on a gaming handheld is a very personal opinion, and many will still prefer the boxier look of the AYANEO 2021, or the more gamer-esque look of the ONEXPLAYER lineup. But, you can’t deny the beauty of an all-screen chassis. We understand that this information may have been overlooked, and we apologize for any confusion caused. Our aim is to be transparent about the costs associated with customs clearance, and we strive to ensure that customers are aware that import fees will be their responsibility.

With 50% more cores than the previous generation and competition, the hexa-core design also ensures great multi-tasking performance. Currently, we don’t know more about the AYANEO 2, such as screen resolution, refresh rate, different SKUs and so on, but bookmark this post and we’ll keep you up to date. You can even sign-up for our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss any news that could potentially ruin your wallet. Hades is a perfect example of a great game that is not massively demanding. You can easily run at 1200P at around 7W TDP and get a solid 60FPS. Hades on the AYA NEO 2S Let’s start with something quite demanding, and also poorly optimised 🙂 The Last of Us at 800P at 28W TDP on Low settings, with FSR on Ultra Performance gets us well above 60 FPS. Equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR4x 4266 ram, and up to 1TB NVME SSD, AYA NEO provides you not only with a smooth gaming experience but also fast loading time. While others are waiting for the game to load, yours is already done.We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced, but we would like to clarify the issue you mentioned. The experience of using it as a PC is also much improved from the Ayaneo Next and Air. The mouse cursor is more accurate and touch controls feel more precise. The new glass screen felt better to tap and slide my fingers across. Ayaneo has done a good job of smoothing out the user experience, which is no small feat on an operating system designed around having a full mouse and keyboard.
