Some early opinions on the AYANEO Air have started to surface and it looks like there is are already a system update available for the AYANEO Air. Between more palatable pricing than the original AYANEO, aesthetic design, product marketing and a commitment to support, I'm definitely impressed.  AYASpace Beta 1.0.1.154  Update details From Twitter: 1.Fix: RGB lighting effect display is not synchronized in sleeping mode 2.

  We don't know everything about the AYANEO Air but some of the specs, info and pricing has been revealed. I think the upcoming AYN Loki likely beats the pricing $ for $ on the Air but there's no way to know how soon the Loki will be ready...

 It looks like there are 3 AYANEO (handheld PCs) handhelds in the works which include the AYANEO 2, AYANEO Slide & AYANEO Air. The Air is set to be the cheapest of the 3 and could become strong competition for the Steam Deck if priced well. Hopefully we find out a lot more about these soon.

It will run Windows 11 and have a 5.5" 1920x1080 OLED touch screen.  AYANEO 2 AYANEO Slide AYANEO Air https://store.ayaneo.com/store/5 2022 Press Conference (Non Translated): https://youtu.be/0nUxYj4Givg What Others Are Saying: https://retrododo.com/aya-neo-air/

 While previous AYANEO handhelds have caught my eye,  they are simply priced too high for my needs. That could change with the AYANEO Air which should be their least expensive handheld to date and offers some advantages over the Steam Deck in the handheld PC gaming realm.  https://liliputing.com/2022/05/aya-neo-air-is-a-thin-and-light-handheld-gaming-pc-with-an-oled-display.html We expect to hear about the price and possibly see available pre-orders by the end of May. If they get the price under $700, I think this will be a real viable Steam Deck alternative. From what I'm seeing they've already gotten the weight below that of a Switch.
