Is this the anti-Steam Deck? The Ayaneo Air is a handheld PC, just like the Valve machine - but it runs on Windows, not SteamOS. It has the Switch Lite-like portable form factor that the Deck does not while display-wise, its 1080p OLED display knocks the spots off Steam Deck's mediocre LCD. But what about power and performance... and battery life? Rich tests both Ryzen 5 5560U and Ryzen 7 5825U processors, benches them against each other *and* Steam Deck and has much to say.

Let's be honest. The price of the air and air pro make them virtually unacceptable as comparisons to the Deck.

Yes, it looks like the Air Pro is about $900 USD for 16GB+512GB on the Ryzen 7 model.
