Ayaneo Air 1S
A seemingly impossible handheld gaming PC
Even five years ago, the incredibly compact Ayaneo Air 1S would not have seemed possible.
FOR THE AYANEO AIR 1S, the default comparison is obviously the Steam Deck, right? Size-wise, the Ayaneo Air 1S is actually more like a Nintendo Switch. In fact, it’s a touch smaller than the Switch, or slightly bigger than a medium-large banana. It really is incredibly compact, this handheld wonder.
But here’s the thing: it comes with the same incredible AMD Ryzen 7 7840U chip found in the AOKZOE A1 Pro or Asus ROG Ally. That’s a full eight-core, 16-thread Zen 4 processor and Radeon 780M iGPU powered by 12 RDNA 3 CUs—four more CUs than the Steam Deck’s RDNA 2 chip.
