This console is essentially a Nintendo DS compatible with the best PC games

The handheld console market has never been better. Thanks to both Android-based consoles and those based on PC components, the gamer now has more options than ever; Even in the golden age of portable consoles, with models from Sega, Nintendo or Sony, there wasn’t as much variety as there is today.

Although many of these new consoles are inspired by the Game Boy or Nintendo Switch formats, there are also more original models that appeal to different users. The Ayaneo Flip range demonstrates this, with two consoles based on a articulated screen which allows for safer transportation. What’s really interesting is that there will be two different models, depending on what’s on the bottom of the console.

For example, in the case of the Ayaneo Flip DS, what is striking is that it includes a second screen at the bottom with tactile capabilities; This allows you to have background apps running on the bottom screen at the same time as you play on the main screen, or even games that take advantage of both screens. It is therefore a very similar concept to that of the Nintendo DS, with the difference that the Flip DS runs Windows 11 and is capable of running the latest games without problems.

Thanks to the power of the Ryzen 7 7840U with a TDP of up to 28W, this is perfectly possible play titles like Forza Horizon 5 without fearing that it will be hot

too much; During testing, the processor maintained temperatures between 57 and 58.6 degrees. In this way, we also use the main 7-inch screen, which has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. For its part, the lower screen has a size of 3.5 inches, and offers direct access to programs and games, as well as having a special tool that allows you to change parameters such as the amount of energy obtained by the processor and the speed of the fans.

If the second screen is not so useful, Ayaneo will also offer the Flip KB, identical in all technical respects but with a full keyboard

in the space where the screen would be. This option may be preferable for using the console as a computer, since in theory it would allow us to write documents and even work anywhere thanks to its small size. Both models have a built-in optical mouse that is controlled with one finger, so you can use Windows 11 without having to connect an external one; Other interesting details are the fingerprint reader for logging into Windows Hello and the integrated Hall effect levers.

The price is the detail that has not yet been confirmed on the Ayaneo Flip; but it won’t take much to find out, since the Indiegogo page is already available and it is now possible to register to be notified at the start of the reservation period.
