The (Mostly) Ultimate Handheld PC

[@dynamicide]

Bro keeps it so real that’s why I love him. Right off the bat admitting this isn’t something you’d buy and saying it better justify the cost made me confident you’d give this thing a solid test.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yup. Even though they sent him one for free, he is not a slave to them. Most tech KZbinrs lie out their ass if it will at all benefit them. No shame, no honesty. That's why I watch Russ even though I'm not in the market for a gaming device. I have a fine PC I built, but it's refreshing to hear someone's honest opinion on new tech, instead of the same old song and dance and hype nonsense.

They dropped the ball hard with the screen. Imagine not getting at the very least 120hz on a $1.7K PC. Yikes.

[@blisphul8084]

Not to mention it's not OLED. The Steam Deck OLED is going to screw up a lot of companies with LCD handhelds, especially with the price. The new valve console just set a new standard for third parties to live up to. Especially with the storage price drop.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

​@@blisphul8084OLED is nice to have, but a good LCD is not a deal breaker if everything else is good. But not have a high refresh screen is super dumb. Moreover, I don't think there are any OLED displays smaller than 27" that can do adaptive refresh rate, I'd much rather have Freesync than OLED.

[@marqslewds9339]

I'm going for the Kun for a few reasons- One is that the combination of the 64GB RAM and possible 8TB Storage after upgrading the SSD means I can have my entire PC and emulated game library as well as my media library all on one handheld, Two- unlike the Ally and the Legion Go the trackpads are symmetrical making it much easier to navigate Windows while in handheld mode, and Three- full native controller customization and Xbox guide will allow me to play games with gyro and in my preferred button layout- ABXY; a mixture of Traditional Nintendo ABYX and Xbox BAXY without needing a remapping tool like reWASD or Handheld Companion.

[@unkleEL]

Nice, I've been waiting for this! Perfect start to my work day 🙌

[@Kuriketto]

This might be a hard sell once the Legion Go releases at the end of this month considering they're very similar in size and weight. The battery and TDP aren't as well-specced, but the extra features (assuming they work well), larger and better-specced display and the fact that it'll be available from Best Buy in the US for hundreds less when equipped with the same amount of RAM and storage as the base model KUN are huge points in favor of the Go.

About the poor gamma, check that radeon vari-bright is off in the adrenalin control panel. That was also ruining the Ally after updates.

[@jinx20001]

its a good tip, but its minor, it wont fix this issue i dont think, toggling vari-bright on the ally does make a difference but you would need to be pretty laser focused to spot it, its unlikely to fix the level of blow out on that kun screen.

[@Deoxysprime-fj5xw]

At this price, point the device really needs to blow me away and I don't think this is significantly better than most of the other handheld PCs on the market. It seems good, but not $1000-1700 good. Especially at $1700, I'd expect premium features like a 120Hz screen or an OLED panel and none of the flaws with the misbehaving buttons or mediocre function buttons.

[@jcyumar]

[@helplmchoking]

@@Kuriketto I mean I'd be okay with the 60Hz given the power available and the lack of VRR, but only if it cost under half what it does. At this price level it's up there with decent gaming laptops or even a MacBook Pro, there needs to be some HUGE specs to justify that lol

[@lakebreeze6248]

Ayaneo doesn't seem to have adjusted to having actual competition....

[@nefariou5]

another amazing review. appreciate the detail you go into and you don't gloss over important day-to-day issues that most reviewers do. for me the main negative of this (aside from the price in general) is the screen. the other negatives (such as touchpads, back buttons etc) i'd probably do the same as you and just disable them entirely, so a shame but not device breaking. I think the asus rog ally still wins the windows handheld pcs.

[@ingramli7733]

Great review as always. By looking at AYANEO continually pushing "ultimate" devices one after another, I am amazed how thoughtful the design Steam Deck was given its price tag. Even with a larger form factor, the AYANEO KUN didn't get a better overall layout to utilize its track pads and rear buttons (which are safe to say ideas "inspired" from the Steam Deck, but with less success), sure it have its selling points as Russ mentioned (best in class analog sticks, great face buttons and supreme battery size, etc.), but given the imperfection the device comes with despite its "ultimate" price point, it would be a hard sell to most folks even if they can afford it...

[@franz014]

still the steam deck is much better value in my opinion, first you get somewhat of a console in the sense that it gets constant updates and support and if you REALLY want those novelty hardware features on the deck im sure you can upgrade it so you can have them, you can already upgrade the joysticks, screen, storage and even ram from what i remember. its a matter of time before we can upgrade the battery and whatnot. and it would still be cheaper than this. and since its so cheap more people will buy it thus resulting in easy troubleshooting if you run into issues (personally havent) not to mention optimizations for games and whatnot

[@TheOtherClips]

Oh one other thing Russ - sounds like you didn’t try 800p with integer scaling. That’s one of the big benefits of these 1600p screens.

[@AdmiralBison]

The Kun is not "ultimate" expensive Ayaneo, that will be the yet expected release of the Ayaneo Next II.

I love the intro music to all your videos. (I'm still rocking the steam deck with windows installed) it's been great for me and I been wanting to go back to steam OS especially with all it's tweaks it has received over the last 6 months but being able to install gamepass is such s + and so hard to lesve behind.

[@TheOtherClips]

Man, the timing on this video. The embargo on legion go reviews lifts on 5 days. The Kun can be compared very directly to the Go. I expect Russ to make the comparison in the review of the Go but you know he has his hands on one already and had to hold back on making any comparisons in this video. But you can tell from the way he says certain things that mentally he’s doing that comparison and subtly putting it in this video. Can’t wait for next week!

[@bipbop3121]

On the podcast he along with the others mentioned they ordered the Legion Go out of their own pocket, so the review will be post launch. They also said if it doesn't replace one of their handhelds in use, they're returning it for a refund. Is there an embargo? It seems like a select few already did videos with review units. I think the only one I watched was Dave 2Ds. Who they selected don't show up in my feed and raised red flags, in terms of how hard Lenovo is controlling the narrative. It looks like they (Lenovo) are either afraid of honest reviews, and also consider handheld experts to be too small.

[@TheOtherClips]

@@bipbop3121yeah embargo until the 24th. I’ve watched every video I could find on it and haven’t seen any red flags. What do you see?

[@LuisPerez-5]

That price though. And spending so much just to have it become outdated in a couple months sucks.

[@xMRxLAMAx]

It’s going to be very dependent on how well the software works with the trackpads, but the back buttons position being that low could help out how awkwardly low the trackpads are, if you’re that interested in using them in game… maybe Always depends on the game too I’ve had a steam deck for a little over a month and I’m surprised how much I use dual trackpad in games already.

[@adriano760]

no high refresh rate panel and no oled for 1700? Gotta be a joke

[@dgevert]

*cough Lenovo Legion Go cough*

[@farisakhtar4824]

​@@dgevertalthough I'm really impressed by the legion go and it's features, it's still pretty big if you just want a handheld to play PC games (8.8 inches, bigger than the device in the video). I would buy it for myself on sale as it can replace my laptop, but it's huge for a handheld.

[@dgevert]

@farisakhtar4824 I mean, if you're in the market for a Kun, you've already decided a big handheld is not a deal breaker. And the legion go has the advantage of detachable controls, so if you have a table or flat surface, you can set it down and play that way without dealing with the device's weight.

[@farisakhtar4824]

@@dgevert I was talking in general, not just for those looking at the kun. And the detachable controllers was what I meant by great features. Hopefully the larger screen means you won't run into the same issue on the switch, where the small screen means you really have to get up close to it if you want to play in table top mode.

Seriously, if this thing had an OLED 120hz screen and an Oculink port I'd buy it right now. Its not far off of my dream machine, which it is close to it, although I would like to see the negatives improved on. The only things that could be better (my dream machine) would be if there was such a thing as an x16 Oculink (Don't know if there is or not) because then I could ditch a Windows laptop/desktop entirely as performance would be close to 75% of a full on desktop configuration. Multiple M.2 slots for more expansion, as god knows modern games are getting larger by the minute. Lastly a SIM port, for completely on the go gaming, but I can always pair a phone so that is always the most minor option to me. That and I believe that all of these manufacturers really need to make their own dock for the devices, as none of them focus on it. Maybe clip in in the case of Oculink devices as its not hot plug n play, but none of the aftermarket docks are all that good. Say what you will about a Switch, it still is the best in many ways for Docked TV mode, and even the eGPU docks are all cord heavy, hot, not designed for the end devices in mind, and not device centric in focus. I realize they plan for more models and want some design leeway, but it is not impossible either., it would just take some long term planning. Either way thanks as always for the detailed review!

[@ilpastor]

As always you did an amazing review! Since it has some tradeoffs the price of this handeld it's too high.

[@MegaOverclocked]

I understand that many people love and were happy with their Steamdeck but I just never got the hype. Idk if my device was faulty or what but everything I played just ran so badly. Nearly constant stuttering no matter how big or small the game was plus 800p is just not looker; games just end up looking extremely blurry. I know people hate the "Windows" experience but I think it's well worth learning and just spend the little extra scratch on devices like Ally or upcoming Lenovo; being cheap can only carry a device so far.

[@samhuang683]

Trackpad seems pretty useless based on this and other reviews. Awkward positioning and not being recognized by Steam as a trackpad (to easily use the tons of official and community created profiles for games) just make it unreally necessary, going with those nub on GPD Win 4 would be better.

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

In my Personal Opinion When Devices get this Large they Should be able to fit a sff graphics card inside of it (like laptops) even though the 7840u is a Beast in its own right. Now that would be the Ultimate Experience

pretty nuts that a premium product like this with that premium price tag is still only rocking a 60hz display, games like hades probably would run at 120hz even at that 1600p display and if it didnt quite get there thats where between 60 and 120 with VRR would be perfect, soooo many indie games are available that can clear 60hz on these devices but these ''premium hardware'' handsets restrict it. Its like the manufacturers have a one track mind when in the design phase, like hey AAA games wont run over 60 anyway so why have a screen over 60 when the games that really shine on these handhelds really really shine because they will often run way over 60. Ayaneo missing the mark here but hey, no need to worry, will be a new one out in a few weeks.

If I did buy one I would probably use FSR @ 720p upscaled to 1600p. On a handheld, 1600p is just unrealistic for handheld specs on AAA games. Give me framerate and performance over crisp pixels. Actual gaming PCs with a graphics card bigger than this handheld is, have issues playing modern AAA games at respectable framerates. If the screen is under 10", 720p is fine for me even native but if you can FSR that to 1600... cool. My budget is more Odin 2 style. That's what I will probably get after its been out for 6 months or so and everyone has beta tested it properly lol

I'm not a fan of the "it costs xxxx so it must be an equal or better experience to xyz" comparisons. I've owned aya stuff, I have an Ally and a Deck .. and despite my deck getting the most use out of my handheld PCs they all have or had their place. If you look at something like the Kun, really you should be comparing it to what you'd get for that price in a gaming *laptop*. Find one with 4tb of storage and 64gb for 1800... We'll wait. I know it's not your intent to suggest that they're asking too much, more to illustrate that it's very steep, but I think it's important to put things in perspective. At the end of the day, like most handheld PCs, it is held back by windows and poor *low wattage* performance(specifically just undervolted/underclocked/reduced tdp performance) .... Which as a handheld gamer... Becomes the most important property for these devices, particularly for newer console emulation. It's actually really weird to me, the direction that most mfgs want to push these devices...it's *cool* to have something high powered in this form factor, but in my opinion....it would be cooler to focus on efficiency/ performance per watt at lower tdp over everything else.
