Ayaneo's Next II Gaming Handheld Weighs Over 3 Pounds and Costs Up to $4,300
Ayaneo's latest entry in the handheld gaming PC market, the Next II, challenges the very definition of portable gaming. At over 3 pounds and 13 inches wide, the device dwarfs competitors like the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally, prioritizing raw power and screen real estate over portability.
With a price tag reaching up to $4,300 for top-end configurations, the Next II is firmly positioned as a premium enthusiast device rather than a mainstream gaming handheld. The Windows-based system targets gamers who want desktop-class performance in a technically portable form factor, though its size and weight make it more of a lap-held gaming station than something you'd pull out on a commute.
