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.

@bland9876 Жыл бұрын

If that's the thing like what's in that one weird Tetris game then I definitely turned it off having it vibrate to the beat of the music was really weird and uncomfortable. 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 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

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

While I’m glad that the gyroscope functionalities are improved here, I wish these handheld PCs would incorporate OLED displays. Hopefully the Switch 2 (whenever it drops) keeps the Switch OLED’s…well……OLED display. This comment was originally made by Neoxon. If anyone else posted this, they’re a bot.

The Ayaneo Air comes with an OLED-display. Sadly it doesn't use the new 6800u. I hope we'll get an Ayaneo handheld with both a new soc and oled

unless you're a performance enthusiast, I just don't see most people buying this lol. Like the steam deck just has better support and it's a third of the price. It's good there's sort of competition against the steam deck, but I wonder how many people will realistically buy the ayaneo 2.

@remo7846 Жыл бұрын

The same people that buy 4090s. so basically wealthy, dont care about price to performance and want the best which is a surprising amount of people

@oscarsmith3942 Жыл бұрын

probably not that many, but the hardware is solidly better. It's 2x more pixels and a bunch more cpu/gpu.

I bought one and I love it. The steam deck can run windows 11 but it’s a work around and it can be glitchy. The ayaneos come with windows 11 installed and the experience is clean. Steam deck still has issues running some games while the ayaneo is closer to a handheld pc, that can handle more. The design is beautiful, game play is great. 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.

Great review as always. Unfortunately, the rumble motors do not reproduce anywhere near the level of vibration that Nintendo does with the joycons. They may be using the same hardware but they definitely do not benefit from the same level of engineering. 8:40 That dealing with software portion resumes by far my biggest con with this device ahahahh!! 9:40 That didn't do nothing, you gotta hit Start to save, yeah it's weird like that.

In a handheld form factor, 1200P just seems excessive. I already find myself pulling my Steam Deck close enough to my face to be uncomfortable, so I don't need even smaller UI and text elements (some games, you can't set scaling). Plus, better performance and battery life without scaling issues running 800P on a 1200P screen. I think I'd go for the Geek, honestly. Also, that wrap is awesome. Yes, it's eye-catching, but at least they didn't do the whole thing in wide Linus or anything.

I love my Aya Neo Geek! I play everything I need too just fine…and when I feel like I need the extra performance just dock it to my eGPU and I’m back up to my normal desktop type of performance. For instance…BF2042 is damn near unplayable using the device itself…but as soon as I hook up my eGPU…Im back to 120+ FPS. Like I was on my previous desktop

Two comments (oddly enough, about the sponsor segway). 1) The car and wrap is gorgeous 2) Linus is past that point in life where you want flash and to draw attention to yourself. I used to drive a Camaro wrapped in Avery Rolling Thunder (color shifting vinyl wrap) - I loved it, and so did everyone else.... at least, everyone under the age of 30. When I turned 35 two years ago, I decided to go with a Genesis G90 and trade in the Camaro. Linus should take solace that even on its worst day, a Porsche Taycan is going to be stunning.

as some people are saying, the 800p screen in the geek is the way to go. for 7 inch its more than enough pixels and half the pixelcount to push from the gpu than the 1200p screen. better performance or battery life with the 800p screen.
