I can't imagine a single good reason for not including the headphone jack on THIS handheld. It's not even impossibly thin or even that small. 😔

No headphone port, instant YEET I normally would try to be understanding but you can't tell me there's no room in that thing.... The whole point is for the device to be portable and the latency with Bluetooth isnt great.
@FanTheDeck7 ай бұрын
Yeah that's the thing. I haven't opened it up but c'mon, there's room and bc this is a new shell - they could have made it whatever they wanted it to be. This was intentional 😭😭

You can not tell the latency difference between the two without some form of software informing you.

One suggestion: I would have appreciated a comparison of the Slide's speakers to the speakers on the ROG Ally. Things like sound and image quality can be heavily affected by KZbin compression and individual device configuration, so just saying "this is how this device sounds" (even when showcasing where sound comes from rather than how good the sound is) can mean wildly different things depending on who is hearing it and what device they're watching the video on. Folks like DankPods compensate for this in the sound department by establishing a baseline device and playing that first, then playing the subject device and switching back and forth so the viewer can compare the two. If you had done the same with the Ally in the same position as the Slide was with the same microphone settings and positioning and the same audio playing on each device, and switched back and forth between them, it would have been a lot clearer what you mean when you say that the Slide's speakers' positioning impacts the sound quality.

Hopefully would like to see an *AyaNeo Slide Dual Screen* in the future. - Replace the keyboard with an equally sized second screen. - Can slide up all the way to the top and even folds down to close like a clamshell. - The second bottom screen can act as a touchscreen keyboard - Can use the device either as a regular candybar handheld or clamshell dual screen - Offer 7"in and 10" screen options - The 2 x 10" screen options could have detachable controllers and act like a dual screen laptop - This will be the most expensive handheld gaming PC...but AyaNeo hasn't been to scared too shy away from that before. I've bought the 10" TJD T101, orders a 64GB RAM + 4TB OneXplayer X1, will double dip on an AMD variant of the OneXplayer X1 and would buy the highest tier AyaNeo Slide Dual Screen 10" if AyaNeo made one this year.

Damn it I love the idea of this thing so much as a retro game playing machine, but I just can't justify it after buying a Legion Go a few months ago. As an actual PC handheld I don't think this would quite do it for me without a track pad. And tbh the lack of headphone jack isn't a deal breaker but I hate to see it because that means if I don't manage my battery powered BT headset well enough I'm just SOL in most situations when I would use this. It has happened many times I forget to charge my headset and I either have to play on mute or use a pair of earbuds.

that was my initial reaction, but 2 usb-c ports kinda makes up for it imo. i ain't love the dongle life, but the steam deck's 2 outputs are less versatile than these two. ...and the steam deck can't use the integrated mics and wired headphones at the same time. wtf! this device sidesteps that shortcoming.
