It's too much money, so it doesn't matter. They've priced themselves out of relevance.

- neogodless 5y agoFor most people and use cases, I agree. If you get it as a combo tablet/gaming/tiny laptop, it's not a bad price. The OS allows you to do all those things, and the screen is acceptable for some of them. But personally, yeah, I want a 15"+ screen for laptop usage, and I don't really have interest in a tablet, so there's not enough value here for the money.
- LegitShady 5y ago>If you get it as a combo tablet/gaming/tiny laptop, it's not a bad price. It's an integrated graphics Ryzen 4500U machine - it's not a gaming device and shouldn't be called that. It doesn't have a keyboard, so it's not a laptop. It's at best a ryzen 5 4500U powered tablet with integrated gaming controls. You can buy a $500-600 dell laptop and a $50 xbox controller and get the keyboard too. I'm happy they found 2500 people to back their project but it looks like a major rip off to me. It's not without some controversy either https://www.reddit.com/r/ayaneo/comments/n6k0n0/breaking_latest_updates_uncle_a_sold_the_company/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ayaneo/comments/n6k0n0/breaking_lat... https://www.reddit.com/r/ayaneo/comments/n7hgmd/guide_on_refund_im_out_pals_but_wish_you_the_best/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ayaneo/comments/n7hgmd/guide_on_ref... The company behind the device has been sold and it's a new team, new manufacturing, etc. I would not back a $1000 crowdfund for any reason.
- myhf 5y agoThere's obviously a niche for high-end UMPCs with integrated controllers. (Aya Neo, GPD Win 3, ONEXPLAYER, etc.) If you are planning on using an eGPU with a laptop, the laptop might as well be smaller.
