These super powerful handhelds coming out recently are super cool, but the prices are crazy. I'm not spending $1k+. For those that love these and will I'm happy you can and these exist for you. I'm happy these handhelds exist because they show-off what can be done... I just can't afford them.... Maybe I'm a little "jelly"
No big expense has to be done all at once. Setting a little amount to the side for months is normal and there is no shame in it. That's how i got my arcade. Took a year and a half to get the money.
@@nymbustheeverliving3704 Some people have bills to pay. Once bills are paid they do not much to save. I can save $50 a month. by the time I have enough this would be so out dated that I would end up putting money to either the latest model if they have one or it would just be point less. Regardless in my opinion this cost is merely for the excitement of this console and yet the steam decks isn't too far off from this Aya Neo and it's Only $400.00 - $600.00 Price to performance is better for the steam deck.
@Damian Wezzterman I tottaly agree. I post a comment recently and compared both the steam deck and this console. for price to performance Ill stick with the steam deck.
Would it be a possibility to include Yuzu in your videos? I get an idea of how it'd run based on RPCS3 since it's more demanding, but would be a cool comparison! Amazing content, thanks ETA Prime! :)
Seeing PS3 games running smooth on a handheld is nothing short of amazing! Though when you recommended having it docked, does that mean the battery life isn’t good?
Great to see it sipping power (and battery life) with all the low-end emulation at 11 watts. It would be neat to see a comparison of Breath of the Wild on both Cemu (WiiU) and Yuzu (Switch) to see the performance difference between the two. I know its not perfectly apples to apples, but it would still be cool.
I couldn't in good conscience recommend this at the price point for it, not when you can get the Steam Deck at a quarter of the price. (Or a third if you got the 512gb ssd version.) It is expensive for what it is, and what's available on the market at the moment as alternatives.
The secret with affordability here is the Ryzen APU. If Intel worked on an affordable APU more, they could've taken in their alternatives at a much cheaper price but those aren't cheap.
I followed your guide on an old Dell paid $29 which included core i5 4590 8gb ram. I took just the Processor and ram bought an ASUS mobo 16gb ram and an old GTX 970 all for $80, now I can run anything on 1080p, Citra runs at 4k etc etc
The AYA NEO PRO and other small handheld gaming devices are really cool to me but they are just to damn expensive. I just can't justify that price when I can get hardware that is much better for that price albeit slightly less portable. I'm hoping with the Steam Deck's coming around we can see more players in the space that we see the prices fall.
Miniaturization cost money. It's something people don't understand. You might as well get a desktop if you strictly care about performance to price costs. That and these handheld companies are small, and they don't manufacture these in huge numbers. Something Valve can do.
@@2010ngojo Why would anyone get a $1000+ portable machine right now when the steam deck is coming out soon? I don't care if a company is small. I just want the best quality + best bang for my buck.
@@bodola1382 Best quality and best bang for your buck? Either choose one or the other. How about you wait until the steam deck is available for purchase for the masses. And then decide. Which is not for another half a year. Soon, my ass. New 4800u laptops cost about the same or slightly less. So comparing a steam deck with different hardware is somewhat misleading. Adding a 1tb drive to the steam deck would get the price to be even closer. And this is why we have cheap crap all the time.
Fantastic video as usual. Two questions: 1) Could we see the performance of the more taxing emulators (Cemu/RPCS3/Yuzu/Ryujinx) at the 15-25W battery profile? 2) Could you do a video with Yuzu performance?
@ALL HANDS ON STEAM DECK did you watch the whole video because he mentions at the end that he has a video coming out where he tests modern pc games, and he usually shows both the emulation and modern pc performance on any device that can play them
I would like to see some of the stuff in-between the device playing games. How clunky is the experience. Does it easily exit games, does aya space crash a lot etc. These videos are great but they can often give the appearance that the device is very polished and that there isn't much effort in having a perfect experience.
I think we are on a verge where all the emulation up to PS3 will be able to emulated on a handheld in a reasonable price. 1080p screen, 2TB nvme, and 16GB DDR4 RAM at about €300 will be in about 3-5 years hopefully
I know it's not in it's final iteration, but I wonder how well the current steam os and the latest beta release of proton function on this machine. I'm not sure if the final specs of the Steam Deck will result in higher single clock performance, but this thing obviously benefits from more cores. Valve has said they want more "steam decks" and this seems like an expensive way to do just that. Obviously you could make big picture boot up by default in windows for higher stability, but that's not as fun.
Higher IPC is one thing, but it'll have a WAY stronger GPU and that's the interesting part about it. We will get RDNA2 architecture in an APU for the 1st time and it'll be really interesting to see the performance increases compared to these aging Vega chips. More cores have never been a huge benefit for gaming, really.
Another vote for Yuzu! Also, does the display support VRR? I’d also be curious to see emulated and VR games that use the camera to see what TDP is required.
Apparently, the last "slim" ps3 operated between 65-84 watts. It's amazing seeing this machine being emulated at a fraction of the wattage on the Neo and other handheld devices.
To see GameCube games running so smoothly just makes me so excited for the SteamDeck! Finally getting to play Pokemon Colosseum while I lounge on the recliner is something I can’t wait to do 😌 I really can’t wait to see what it can do. Plopping in an sd card with my favorite retro games and then my steam library I’ll be a happy camper
I FUCKING LOVE my aya neo This is my first hand held gaming pc and I'm already in love with it. It blows my mind I can play my pc games on the go. I'm glad I didn't go with the one x player I was going to because of the bigger screen but decided not to when I opened up the aya neo I was not expecting the device to be this big. On videos it looks pretty small but in person it's a pretty massive device.
How Yuzu is performing would be interresting. Especially Mario Odyssey, Bowser's Fury, Cruis'n Blast, Zelda Links Awakening, Metroid Dread and Diablo III Ethernal Collection.
I got the non-Pro Indiegogo version and it's the greatest thing I've ever bought 🤣 this thing plows through all emulation up to Wii u, allows for upscaling and, obviously, portabilizes all PC games. This device required an insane amount of setup for older games I like (which were broken by windows 10) and games that only support keyboard and mouse (recommend the program joytokey). As ETA said, changing wattage on the fly is easy, but hopefully they will add a wattage config option which allows you to set the watts for docked mode (25W/Max performance) or handheld (Max battery) on a game-by game basis, that way it just switches seamlessly and you don't have to change it every time you play a different game. The aya space app can be glitchy at times but is overall very helpful. anywho, I'm playing Halo MCC/infinite on the couch and it's mind-blowing lol. Sure you could use xcloud, but the input lag of the built-in controller is virtually non-existent! Aya neo gets a 11/10 from me.
Great video! I ordered mine a week ago and now it's time for the waiting game. It would be great if you can show us MH World running on this system seeing as there are no videos of it on RUclips. The 4800U performs amazingly for emulation but for YUZU specifically, it prefers higher frequency as opposed to more cores.
ETA Prime: I'll leave this comment again as you requested more input. Id really like to see this handheld against equivalent spec'd PC to the up coming Steam Deck. I would like to see how Steam in general works on many of these handhelds and what kind of performance one can have with these handheld PCs. I personally game on Steam, Console, and MS store games. i only have a 1050ti, so something comparable would be nice in a mobile platform. thanks for your hard work.
If I had the money, I would buy this in a heartbeat. As it is, I can only afford a low-teir steamdeck, and I am under the assumption that many others are in this boat also.
It's great to always be able to watch certain emulators with constant games to get an idea of the power of the device, thanks for that ETA. My question is if there is any problem when showing emulation of active consoles since the process of dumping said games cannot necessarily be comfortable as in the case of the Nintendo Switch, not to mention the possibility of losing monetization if Nintendo claims the video for include their games in the video in the context of emulation as they are titles from a commercially active platform. If the above is not correct and does not generate danger in your videos or inconveniences for you, I would very much like the possibility that you include Yuzu / Ryujinx within the emulation videos more constantly, especially in handheld videos. As always thanks for the good content, have a nice day anyone reading this c:
The problem is that this is just a gaming device and I can't justify spending that much on just a gaming device, especially with steam deck around the corner. But if this was a 12" productivity tablet with optional add on controllers that attaches to the side, it would justify the price. I would daily drive this in my office and when I'm home just attach the controllers and it becomes a gaming device. The price is fair for the processing power but it being gaming only really hurts the value proposition.
I thought a thing like that, that han held has a powerful setting to waste with window 10, a linux like unbuntu or mint are better to get full potential
That screen has an odd bezel, it's like, equally shrunk in both axis or something, rather than having the same size across all sides like most screens do.
When Zink (OpenGL -> Vulkan translation layer) gets better Windows support, I'm excited to see if it can help cases such as Citra, other emulators, and the rare OpenGL-only games. It works REALLY well on my Linux machine!
I've got a Ryzen 5900hs with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics in my laptop and I can definitely co-sign on the performance. Emulation works perfectly on that gpu. I have a dedicated RTX 3060 and you can't really tell a difference between the two when it comes to emulation
I guess there wasn't enough time for Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles X, Xbox 360 emulation, I really would like to see Goldeneye remaster project or Read Dead Redemption handling on the 360, or pc wise, maybe Biomutant or Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding or RE Village w/ the new FSR addition, or Sea of Thieves or Phantasy Star Online New Genesis, to see how the wifi chip holds up, or docked ethernet.
Hey Prime! I just got one of these and was wondering, could you please do a tutorial on how to set up the configurations on steam for the controller buttons within the aya neo? Some games have controller support but seem to not recognize the built in aya neo buttons.
You won't get copywrite struck from sega and the jet set radio games. They are cool as heck with their stuff. And I'm a big jsr fan, never heard of them doing that, unlike Nintendo.
Handheld Gaming PCs are looking GREAT! I hope GPD, OneXPlaYer, AYA Neo and Valve work together to form minimum open standards and coming out with Linux/Steam OS models, while still allowing users to install Windows themselves if they want. The only difference between all devices is giving plenty of choice and options for gamers with +specs +sizes +hardware features To meet different budgets and power demands.
Would be interesting if they would also start go with arm processors and steam os (not android, so you get longterm driver updates and all software functionalities you would want.
This would be amazing to buy right now.... buy holy hell the price.... soooo glad I got a steam deck reserved for now. Hopefully when the steam deck drops, there will be more competition either on the price side or the power side. Still gotta wait until q2/q3 next year for my steam deck :')
Amazing device but definitely on the very pricy side of things! Although it does combine a lot of different systems into one due to its performance. I can't wait wait for the SteamDeck to show what it can do...
Dear ETA PRIME Let me remind you. Most of your fans are retro gaming fans. And mostly looking for some not very expensive ways to enjoy hobby. I do aprecciate your work, but latest videos are mostly about devices around 1K DOLLARS!!! This is insane! Please bear it in mind.
With the price of these devices, I'm just convinced to buy until the APUs are RDNA and DDR5. Is it a magical combo? IDK. But implemented right I think it would be an amazing combination. However in the meantime, I am glad that there is a market for these so the companies can get their supply chains, ergo, QC all dialed-in.
These videos just make me even more curios of how the steam deck is gonna compare. This device is over 1k and a steam deck is 399, on the old ayaneo vs steam deck was 59.4% faster so i dont see any reason of getting this with the steam deck right around the corner. Great video though as usual, always like to see these emulator videos and reviews
I'd like to see Resident Evil Outbreak 1 / 2 & Resident Evil Code Veronica on PS2 running on the Aya Neo Pro .. Hope you can test it even with a blurry screen for the copyright things .. I ASKED a lot before but no response 😕💔

Aya really are nailing this small form factor handheld PC. Love the colour scheme too, and that they after an upgrade board for older models.
They're not nailing anything. It's basically all off the shelf hardware, and the only thing they did, the controls, was implemented horribly.
Impressive but still crazy expensive for a handheld. Steam Deck is going to be much better for the average consumer.
Crazy performance at crazier prices
I can honestly say, the color scheme is a nice touch. All that power, perfect for 8bit emulation.
But, it can run Crysis.
for that, just buy $15 raspberry pi for all your retro gaming need
8 bit?

Can you try WWE 2k14 and fifa street running on RPCS3 please?
I've got a Ryzen 5900hs with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics in my laptop and I can definitely co-sign on the performance. Emulation works perfectly on that gpu. I have a dedicated RTX 3060 and you can't really tell a difference between the two when it comes to emulation
Basically what Steamdeck will be like. for 500+ less.
Could be like. We dont know.
@@ricksmith4840 Steam Deck has a RDNA2 GPU and DDR5 RAM so it will be more powerful.
Or will it?
@@karehaqt GPU-wise it will be more powerful, but the CPU will probably be slower. Better for PC games, slightly worse for emulation.
@@karehaqt lol just because something has better hardware doesnt mean things will run well on it. Case in point, look at the intel handhelds.
This is cool, but I just want a str8 up emulation device that's not a dedicated PC. One with Retroarch that feels like an actual console.
Great video. I'm curious to see the performance of Horizon Zero Dawn.
Emulating PS3 Arquitecture Is definitely hard
Saludos cordiales desde Michoacán México viva sega siempre
oh my god thank you for covering panzer dragoon orta.
that handhold was about same price as my acer i bought over 2 years ago
Does device are getting so powerful, but still i would rather save my money and buy a chipped switch lite !!!
Nice video! How can I get those live wallpapers for windows? Thanks!
I guess there wasn't enough time for Wii U Xenoblade Chronicles X, Xbox 360 emulation, I really would like to see Goldeneye remaster project or Read Dead Redemption handling on the 360, or pc wise, maybe Biomutant or Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding or RE Village w/ the new FSR addition, or Sea of Thieves or Phantasy Star Online New Genesis, to see how the wifi chip holds up, or docked ethernet.
You should test some classic PC games more often like Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and Wolfenstein 3D as worst offenders.
Man i hate when the dpad placement is like that
There is a typo on the specs. Screen is 1280 x 800 (not 720)
I'd absolutely be interested in Mortal Kombat 11 running on this 🤔
Hey Prime! I just got one of these and was wondering, could you please do a tutorial on how to set up the configurations on steam for the controller buttons within the aya neo? Some games have controller support but seem to not recognize the built in aya neo buttons.
I hope CES of next year is packed with handheld PCs.
For the price it should perform better I think, not perfect but close...
I would love to see a video about performance of that bad boy on the double 11 !! (Debian11&Windows11)
or steamOS maybe if or when its out
You won't get copywrite struck from sega and the jet set radio games. They are cool as heck with their stuff. And I'm a big jsr fan, never heard of them doing that, unlike Nintendo.
I think i'll wait for the steam deck
Handheld Gaming PCs are looking GREAT!
I hope GPD, OneXPlaYer, AYA Neo and Valve work together to form minimum open standards and coming out with Linux/Steam OS models, while still allowing users to install Windows themselves if they want.
The only difference between all devices is giving plenty of choice and options for gamers with
+specs
+sizes
+hardware features
To meet different budgets and power demands.
Would be interesting if they would also start go with arm processors and steam os (not android, so you get longterm driver updates and all software functionalities you would want.
This would be amazing to buy right now.... buy holy hell the price.... soooo glad I got a steam deck reserved for now. Hopefully when the steam deck drops, there will be more competition either on the price side or the power side. Still gotta wait until q2/q3 next year for my steam deck :')
Good as always!
Amazing device but definitely on the very pricy side of things! Although it does combine a lot of different systems into one due to its performance. I can't wait wait for the SteamDeck to show what it can do...
I actually have one and I’m selling it for 600
@@JayveonTV why you selling it?
VERY PRICEY might even be an understatement lol. You could get yourself a solid PC for that price.
@@shred_zed1 yeah too risky too, these new companies and all, I'll invest in steam deck I think is better for peace of mind and support etc :)
Dear ETA PRIME Let me remind you. Most of your fans are retro gaming fans. And mostly looking for some not very expensive ways to enjoy hobby.
I do aprecciate your work, but latest videos are mostly about devices around 1K DOLLARS!!! This is insane!
Please bear it in mind.
With the price of these devices, I'm just convinced to buy until the APUs are RDNA and DDR5. Is it a magical combo? IDK. But implemented right I think it would be an amazing combination. However in the meantime, I am glad that there is a market for these so the companies can get their supply chains, ergo, QC all dialed-in.
For $1300 it better be.
Have you used the aya neo in public yet? I had high-school students thinking it was a switch at first.
if a £1200 hand held device didnt play emulators well id be a little pissed. :-D
Looks awesome! Except if it has cooling fan noise. If it has fans. Does it?
You definitely gotta try GTA V, Cyberpunk, Destiny, Halo for your next Pc video👍🏻
Would've wanted to see MGS 4 in this one
These videos just make me even more curios of how the steam deck is gonna compare. This device is over 1k and a steam deck is 399, on the old ayaneo vs steam deck was 59.4% faster so i dont see any reason of getting this with the steam deck right around the corner. Great video though as usual, always like to see these emulator videos and reviews
For retro gaming, would you recommend this device over the Steam Deck or OneXPlayer i7 model?
I'd like to see Resident Evil Outbreak 1 / 2 & Resident Evil Code Veronica on PS2 running on the Aya Neo Pro .. Hope you can test it even with a blurry screen for the copyright things .. I ASKED a lot before but no response 😕💔
