Ayaneo (variously stylized as AYANEO, AyaNeo or Aya Neo ) is a Chinese brand of handheld gaming computers and mini PCs .
History
Ayaneo was founded in March 2020 by Arthur Zhang (尾巴大叔), a tech entrepreneur and gaming enthusiast. Prior to founding Ayaneo, Zhang had established Digital Tail (2010) and New Mobility (2015), ventures that focused on digital lifestyle and electric vehicles, respectively. Zhang assembled a team to develop a Windows-based handheld console designed specifically for gamers.
Ayaneo has relied on crowdfunding platforms , like Indiegogo , to launch and fund its devices.

Aya Neo (2021)
Interior of an Aya Neo
The Aya Neo was the first model of handheld gaming computer sold under the Ayaneo brand, and originally financed through crowdfunding . It used a Ryzen 5 4500U processor, 16 GB RAM, 512GB or 1TB SSD storage, and a 7'' 1280×800 pixel touchscreen.[ 1]
Reviewers described its performance as acceptable for less demanding games, and the device as a whole as a relatively expensive and novel type of device for a "niche crowd" of handheld PC gamers.[ 1]
Ayaneo Air / Ayaneo Air Pro (2022)
The Air device uses the Windows 11 operating system, a Ryzen 5 5560U processor, 8 or 16 GB RAM , a 5.5'' 1080p OLED screen and 128GB or 512GB SSD storage, expandable via an SD card . The Pro variant has some improved specifications.[ 2]
Eurogamer wrote that the Ayaneo Air provides lower graphics performance than its main competitor, the Steam Deck , due to the Air's older GPU architecture.[ 2] According to IGN , the Air provides acceptable performance with modern games at a lower 720p resolution, but not at the screen's native resolution.[ 3] But the reviewers praised the Air for its better screen, portability and compatibility with Windows games compared to the Steam Deck, the latter owing to the Air being a native Windows device, as opposed to the Linux Proton compatibility layer used by the Steam Deck.[ 2]
Ayaneo Next / Ayaneo Next Pro (2022)
The Next is a larger and more powerful device compared to the Air, using a Ryzen 7 5800U processor, 16 GB RAM, a 7'' 1280×800 pixel touchscreen and 2TB SSD storage.[ 4]
IGN described it as an "impressive" handheld gaming PC, capable of playing modern games at high frame rates, but noted a number of "quirks and challenges" such as controller glitches.[ 4]
Ayaneo Geek (2022)
Ayaneo Geek was launched together with Ayaneo 2. Differently than Ayaneo 2, Ayaneo Geek will not have motion sensors in both the body and handles, a higher-quality vibration motor, touch-to-wake support for the fingerprint sensor, and a PCIe 4.0 SSD by default.[ 6] [ 7]
