Another house number is the AyaNeo Air Pro. Windows 11 runs on the crowdfunding project, which is reminiscent of the PlayStation Portable. Basically, you can start all Windows games on it – unlike the Steam Deck, whose standard operating system is based on Linux. There are still limitations with the AyaNeo Air Pro, especially in terms of performance and battery life.
