There seems to be no limit to what can be achieved with chonky and eye-wateringly expensive PC gaming handhelds, with the latest behemoth being the Ayaneo Next 2. First Office has partnered back in November, the latest Windows handheld in Ayaneo’s Next lineup is due pre-order, with a spec sheet that makes some of its rivals look mediocre.

If you missed the announcement at the end of last year, the Next 2 packs a 9-inch OLED display with a 2,400 x 1,504 resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz (adjustable up to 60Hz). The Next 2 is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip and has a massive 115Mh battery under the hood.

To put all that into perspective, the Next 2’s display is more than 1.5 inches larger than the Steam Deck OLEDand greater than Lenovo Legion Go 2The 8.8-inch panel. Its battery is the largest of the three by some margin as well, and accordingly Ars Technica it weighs about 3.14 pounds (about 1424g), making it more than twice as heavy as the super heavy Xbox ROG Ally X. Take those wristbands to the gym if you’re thinking of picking one of these up.

Ayaneo ticks all the boxes where inputs are concerned too. The latest handheld has dual touchpads (a feature that ASUS abandoned on the ROG Xbox Ally X), Hall Effect sticks, an 8-way D-Pad and four customizable rear buttons.

All this technology inevitably comes at a steep price, with the entry-level model with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage coming in at $1,999, or $1,799 if you take advantage of early bird pricing. This model is equipped with a slightly less capable Ryzen AI Max 385 CPU.

If you want the more powerful AI+395 chip there are a few options. A variant of the Next II with 64GB of RAM and 1TB of storage costs $2,699, but you can order it now for an early bird price of $2,299. For 128GB of RAM and 2TB of storage you will pay a slightly hilarious $4,299 at full price. Early birds can order now for $3,499.
