The Air introduces a new direction for the brand, however – cheaper, more accessible, and with a design and form factor more akin to the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
The downside, as pointed out by hardware site Liliputing, is the machine’s reported battery size – at least for the regular AyaNeo Air.
If $549 is still too rich for your blood, AyaNeo also confirmed that it plans to release an even cheaper model, the AyaNeo Air Plus.
The entry level AyaNeo Air will only give around an hour in a graphically intensive game, and a couple in a less testing 2D indie gem.
