Reviewing the Ayaneo Air Pro handheld gaming console, a Windows 11 Steam Deck and Switch OLED rival for 2023. This unboxing and two month verdict of the Ayaneo Air Pro tests the gaming chops of this portable game machine, but is it the best option vs the Steam Deck and Switch? Aya, Neo!
Some of the specs are an upgrade, including that OLED display which peaks at Full HD resolution at 60Hz. That said, most modern games such as Uncharted Lost Legacy and Doom Eternal only run well when you drop the graphics on the Ayaneo Air Pro to 720p, so it’s only indie and less demanding titles that’ll benefit.
The AMD Ryzen 7 CPU is backed by up to 32GB DDR4 RAM and this can handle the biggest gaming titles I tested, including Uncharted. However, you will need to scale the visuals to suit this portable console. So like the Steam Deck and Switch, you’ll be playing any demanding fare at regular HD resolution.
Still, the Ayaneo Air Pro’s cooling system works well, the controls are comfortable and I like some of the design features. Those glowing thumbsticks are cool and you can charge using two USB-C ports, above and below the device.
Do you think this is the best Windows 11 handheld gaming machine? It’d be great to hear your thoughts below! Check out my review of the Steam Deck and Switch OLED for more portable console goodness.
