The real question that I rarely see answered about all of these hand-held PCs coming out is, can they cleanly suspend and resume at any point during gameplay without causing problems? That’s (IMO) the single most important feature of the Steam Deck and one I’ve never seen work as well in other hand held PCs.

Probably because that’s a feature of whatever OS you run on it. If you stick to Windows that most likely comes with it, then no. But if you install something like ChimeraOS, then it should work.

What? The handheld? The OS? The suspend resume function?

The suspend resume function, did Valve not pass that upstream?

Windows 11. That OS that just got told they had to allow users to turn off ads (but only in Europe).

If you go into the “news” link, then go to the indigogo link, then get mad because they are putting all info into mages instead of text, then accept that they made that awful no-text choice, then scroll down almost all the way to the bottom, you’ll find the spec-sheet.

This is what all emails from them look like. Literally zero information unless you load the images.

Thanks. I spent a good amount of time looking for it but when a few control effs on various pages did not work I have up. To bad as this was tempting if it was linux. I mean guess could reinstall but I would like to know all the steam os and drivers worked fine out of box like the steamdeck.

I’m so disappointed at the lack of physical keyboard accessories

I’d rather be able to connect a keyboard with wifi/bluetooth adapter or connect my phone for typing rather than have physical keyboard in any of handled devices. Dunno, small keyboards just doesn’t makes sense for my big fingers

its nice as an options. if you have nothing but the device you can still do some stuff which I find happens. Down side is you get lazy and don’t bother grabbing the peripheral because you can just quickly do it non optimally.

It’s always like this with every Steam Deck competitor.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Handheld PC specialist Ayaneo has today launched a sliding full RGB keyboard packing portable to crowdfunding.

The new Ayaneo Slide hit IndieGoGo earlier today with a $699 early bird price but has already rocketed past its funding goal by a factor of eight.

More recently, we have been told that the Ayaneo Slide will be part of the firm’s new Remake family of devices with retro-computing charm.

Readers won’t be surprised to hear that the Ayaneo Slide is yet another gaming handheld that is powered by one of AMD’s Phoenix mobile processors.

However, the special sauce of the Slide is that this screen can push up and at an angle to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard with RGB backlighting.

Also buying after full launch and availability usually means there are several third-party reviews to highlight the obvious, and not-so-obvious, flaws in the product design or implementation.
