AyaNeo 2/ AyaNeo Geek review: handheld performance reaches the next level.

The pace of technological progression is relentless. Valve's Steam Deck has just celebrated its first birthday but as fantastic as the device is in so many ways, there are concerns about how well the latest games will run on it as we finally emerge from the cross-gen malaise. Enter AMD's Ryzen 7 6800U, a processor that out-specs the Deck's Van Gogh processor in almost every dimension. It's designed for laptops, but seems to work well in a handheld form-factor too. The AyaNeo 2 and the AyaNeo Geek are the latest portable PCs to arrive at Digital Foundry and thanks to the 6800U, the performance is simply phenomenal - but it comes at a cost: battery life.

Meh.

These handhelds are all subjective. If the steam deck didn't go on sale I probably wouldn't have copped. I have no use for it outside of wanting to play indies/rpgs/emulators laying in bed. Also really wanted one with a oled screen. The switch oled is so beautiful and easy on the eyes.

My cousin swears by both of his aya neos - they’re dope - I can’t compare to a steam deck but the aya neo is a very nice device

Your gonna want a keyboard with Windows I recommend the gpt win 4.

It's like 400 to 500 dollars more than the base Steam Deck though

These type of handhelds shouldn't be more than what the Steam Deck offers.

A high end AyaNeo handheld is almost as much as I paid for my desktop with 3060 NVIDIA card, 3.70 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor with 16GB of Ram

So you might as well buy a Desktop PC

But that's not including a display monitor.

You most likely buying a monitor anyway even if this or a Steam Deck was your entry option for a main PC

Portable powerhouses are never cheap.

I want to play Switch games on it.

The Steam Deck probably has better battery life as well.

Who got a one of these or a steam deck and can vouch for performance? I need a little casual gaming, if I could play somethin like the newer Skyrims and a Fallout:NV on it I'd be good.

I have the steam deck. It’s dope as fu*k. Comparing these two isn’t comparing apples to apples. The price point is drastically different. My steam deck I play portable and then with mouse and keyboard for some games and since I have kids, they often use the main TV. So I use my steam deck to remote play either my series x or ps5. No regrets

If it's like that I might grab me one when another deal come around

Black Friday, the low tier deck will be $200...

Also to add to what the other guy said, I use Chiaki4Deck which allows me to remote play my PS5 so playing Sony exclusives is clutch
