The real question that I rarely see answered about all of these hand-held PCs coming out is, can they cleanly suspend and resume at any point during gameplay without causing problems? That’s (IMO) the single most important feature of the Steam Deck and one I’ve never seen work as well in other hand held PCs.
Probably because that’s a feature of whatever OS you run on it. If you stick to Windows that most likely comes with it, then no. But if you install something like ChimeraOS, then it should work.
All these steam deck competitors use windows, so no, they can’t
Is that not open source?
What? The handheld? The OS? The suspend resume function?
The suspend resume function, did Valve not pass that upstream?
It’s a rather standard feature. Hardware and software have to be built/configured right for it to work well. That’s what Valve did. I don’t think there is any special sauce involved software wise.
it says steam deck competitor but I don’t see any info on os its using
Windows 11. That OS that just got told they had to allow users to turn off ads (but only in Europe).
If you go into the “news” link, then go to the indigogo link, then get mad because they are putting all info into mages instead of text, then accept that they made that awful no-text choice, then scroll down almost all the way to the bottom, you’ll find the spec-sheet.
then get mad because they are putting all info into mages instead of text
This is what all emails from them look like. Literally zero information unless you load the images.
This just screams “scam” to me.
Thanks. I spent a good amount of time looking for it but when a few control effs on various pages did not work I have up. To bad as this was tempting if it was linux. I mean guess could reinstall but I would like to know all the steam os and drivers worked fine out of box like the steamdeck.
As someone who used to have an old windows mobile phone with a sliding out keyboard - yes please. I want to see more stuff like this.
I’m so disappointed at the lack of physical keyboard accessories
I’d rather be able to connect a keyboard with wifi/bluetooth adapter or connect my phone for typing rather than have physical keyboard in any of handled devices. Dunno, small keyboards just doesn’t makes sense for my big fingers
its nice as an options. if you have nothing but the device you can still do some stuff which I find happens. Down side is you get lazy and don’t bother grabbing the peripheral because you can just quickly do it non optimally.
No touch pads no deal.
It’s always like this with every Steam Deck competitor.
Common people, put a damn gyro on the thing at the very least!yeah Thanks god, Lenovo, ayaneokun and steam deck have this neat feature
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Handheld PC specialist Ayaneo has today launched a sliding full RGB keyboard packing portable to crowdfunding.
The new Ayaneo Slide hit IndieGoGo earlier today with a $699 early bird price but has already rocketed past its funding goal by a factor of eight.
More recently, we have been told that the Ayaneo Slide will be part of the firm’s new Remake family of devices with retro-computing charm.
Readers won’t be surprised to hear that the Ayaneo Slide is yet another gaming handheld that is powered by one of AMD’s Phoenix mobile processors.
However, the special sauce of the Slide is that this screen can push up and at an angle to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard with RGB backlighting.
Also buying after full launch and availability usually means there are several third-party reviews to highlight the obvious, and not-so-obvious, flaws in the product design or implementation.

Especially if that fan isn’t loud(or somehow big enough for a small noctua), I want so bad. On screen keyboards fail me so often with my big fingers and bad depth perception(thanks adhd). Nvm that autocorrect almost always fails me esp since it doesn’t sync the history when I do switch phones and never found a way to do so…
wait how does adhd impact your depth perception?
Proprioception its why we have the adhd sway walk or just bump into stuff. We either over or under compensate for distance and there’s no in between I’ve bumped into so many walls and shiz but never bruised much like others…it’s weird
TIL, thanks! This explains a lot about the way I walk lol
Yep that and I’m sure it explains why I suck at American truck simulator…beyond my computers showing their age but yea XD
You can’t focus on the keys with the squirrel in the background.
I really wish I could get an iPhone keyboard case like this, and loved sliding keyboards on phones, but I have a really hard time seeing this as actually working well in practice.
The extra width of the controllers really changes the access to the keyboard while holding it, and you really can’t come from the bottom either, especially with the weight it’s going to have to have for cooling.
