AYANEO GEEK 1S Review - A Powerful PC Handheld At A Great Price (If You Hurry)
AYANEO GEEK 1S Indiegogo - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ayaneo-2s-full-screen-great-upgrade-7840u-console#/ (This is not sponsored, I backed this early on and bought it myself) Things I missed: The bottom of the box has the power plug, some different adaptors for it depending on where you live, the USB cable and some USB-C to USB adaptors. For external storage I'm using a 512gb card. The power button is also a finger print sensor, super nice. In the 2 hours of recording I did my battery went from 100% to 48%, I was rarely above 15W at 50% brightness and not constantly gaming so take from that what you will.

The story goes that I reserved a Steam Deck within the first hour it went up for pre-order in 2021, then in June 2022 I was close to having one when AYN announced their own PC handheld called the Loki Max, and I cancelled the Deck for the smaller and spec-wise more powerful Loki with a Winter 2022 release. Cut to June 2023 and they're only just about to release the Loki Max, when AYA start their campaign for their more powerful 2S and GEEK 1S models. The GEEK 1S early bird price was the same as the discounted reserve I had for the Loki Max but with better specs and I knew I'd get it in July. And arrive it did, this is my look at the GEEK 1S and I like it a lot! There are so many gaming possibilities and perhaps I'll do another video to test its power a little more, but for my use case I know I am going to enjoy a heck of a lot of games on this (if you pause you can pretty much see everything on the desktop I'm interested in). 00:00 - Intro & Contents 02:20 - Geek 1S Design 02:50 - Comparison to Odin/RP3+/Miyoo Mini + 03:49 - AYANEO Software/TDP 07:38 - Retroarch - Genesis/SNES/N64 11:30 - Redream - Capcom VS SNK2/Virtua Tennis 13:35 - Dolphin - F-Zero GX/Super Mario Galaxy 2 15:03 - Xemu - Jet Set Radio Future/Panzer Dragoon Orta/Conker: Live & Reloaded 16:52 - Xenia - Goldeneye XBLA/ Red Dead Redemption 19:27 - RPCS3 - Metal Gear Solid 4 21:38 - Yuzu 24:09 - PC Games ----- 24:11 - Binary Domain 25:25 - Metal Gear Rising 26:12 - GRIME 27:04 - Driver San Franciso 27:53 - Resident Evil 4 2023 29:04 - Conclusion Music: Clair de Lune (Chill-Hop) by | e s c p | & Claude Debussy | https://escp-music.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ #AYANEO #pcgaming #geek1s #handheld #retro #retrogaming #emulation
