Ayaneo Air Plus: The Powerful and Pricier Steam Deck Alternative

Ayaneo's Air Plus is the latest entry in the handheld PC gaming market, offering a smaller and more portable form factor than its predecessor, the Ayaneo 2. The Air Plus comes with a choice of AMD or Intel chipsets and a larger battery, but also a higher price tag starting at $790. While the device runs on vanilla Windows, the Ayaspace launcher provides a console-like experience, though navigating Windows can still be clunky. The Air Plus offers generally higher performance than the Steam Deck, but at a higher cost.
