AyaNeo details Air and Air Pro consoles and new Air Plus model with a ‘Mendocino’ APU

AyaNeo has a string of new portable gaming systems on the way. This week, the company revealed new details for its Air and Air Pro consoles, and also announced the new Air Plus model, which will feature AMD's recently announced and upcoming ‘Mendocino' APU. 

AyaNeo has recently announced the Air series, but it didn't share many details. Since then, the company has publicly revealed that the series will include a standard model, only available with a Ryzen 5 5560U, and a Pro model with either a Ryzen 5 5560U or Ryzen 7 5825U. Another difference is the battery, whereas the standard has a 28Wh capacity and the Pro has a 38Wh capacity.

Both models will feature a 1080p AMOLED with FullHD resolution, 350nits of brightness, and a 100000:1 contrast ratio. The panel will offer 99% of coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut, 100% of sRGB, 109% of NTSC, and 96% of AdobeRGB. The consoles will pack up to 32GB of LPDDR4x-4266 memory and 2TB of M.2 SSD storage depending on the model. Available in Q3 2022 in pink, white, black, or grey, the console's price starts at $549 ($499 early bird promotion), with the top model going for $1,399 ($1,299 early bird promotion).

On top of detailing the Air and Air Pro, AyaNeo announced a new portable console, the AyaNeo Air Plus. Packing a 6-inch 1080p screen and the AMD Mendocino APU, which may only feature 2 CUs according to Angstronomics (via VideoCardz). The console will be the cheapest of AyaNeo's entire line-up, starting at just $289 ($199 for early birds) in Q4 2022. We don't know much else about the Air Plus yet, but it will support M.2 SSDs.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
