In 2023, we admired the large mass of Lenovo’s Legion Go, a 1.88-pound, 11.8-inch-wide monstrosity of a Windows video gaming portable. In 2026, however, Ayaneo revealed information of its Next II portable, which puts Lenovo’s huge young boy to pity while likewise providing heftier specifications and a greater cost than a lot of other Windows video gaming handhelds.

Let’s focus on the bulk. The Ayaneo Next II weighs in at a genuinely wrist-straining 3.14 pounds, making it more than two times as heavy in the hands as the Steam Deck OLED (not to discuss 2022’s initial Ayaneo Next, which weighed a lot more affordable 1.58 pounds). The outright system likewise determines 13.45 inches large and 10.3 inches high, according to Ayaneo’s spec sheet, offering it a footprint around 60 percent bigger than the Switch 2 (with Joy-Cons connected).

Ayaneo loads some seriously effective portable PC efficiency into all that bulk. The high-end variation of the system sports a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chipset, with 16 Zen5 cores along with a Radeon 8060S with 40 RDNA3.5 calculate systems. That must provide this huge portable efficiency equivalent to a desktop with an RTX 4060 or a video gaming laptop computer like in 2015’s high-end ROG Flow Z13.
