Released in 2013, SteamOS promised to bring PC gaming to the living room and revolutionize the entire market. While Valve's custom Linux distribution has yet to achieve this (probably) impossible feat, a new competitor to Steam Deck comes from gaming hardware manufacturer Ayaneo. Chinese manufacturer Ayaneo is launching Valve's first handheld system based on Steam OS . The Linux-based operating system was used until now to power Steam and the now-defunct Steam Machine hardware platform , but Ayaneo wants to offer a new solution for gamers looking for a portable machine.
Ayaneo Next Lite Fax Lists is a budget version of the Next handheld, based on a design with ergonomic handles, a choice of different colors and "superior craftsmanship". Specs revealed so far include a 7-inch 800p screen, a 47Wh battery, X-axis linear motors, and the same Hall sensor joystick found on other Ayaneo devices. Pricing and availability will be revealed tonight, suggesting that Next Lite could offer a gaming experience for less than Steam Deck, but the company is talking about opening up "subscriptions" that seem like an alternative approach to the traditional one-off. . purchase or crowdfunding campaign.
The Ayaneo handheld will compete with the two Steam Deck models currently offered by Valve: the standard LCD model is currently discounted to $349 , the OLED version starts at $550. Ayaneo has a long history of selling portable gaming devices, mostly running on Windows and more recently using AMD Ryzen processors. The top-of-the-line Ayaneo Next still retails for a not-so-cheap $1,300. This model is available in two colors, with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Other hardware specs include Ryzen 7 5825U CPU, Radeon Vega 8 GPU, 7-inch 800P (1280×800) IPS screen. For the Lite version to make sense as a budget portable console, it will probably have to run with fewer features.
