Ayn Technologies' previous handheld, the Ayn Odin 2, is an excellent Android laptop with great performance and control. It earned five out of five stars in our review and established itself as one of the best gaming laptops on the market today. Now, Ayn Technologies has revealed its next handheld, which is a new version and departure from the Odin 2.
There aren't too many details about the upcoming laptop, but we do know some specs right now, thanks to a report from Checking the notebook. Firstly, the system will only weigh 320g, which is about 31% lighter than the Odin 2 at 420g and 9% lighter than its competition, the Ayaneo Pocket S at 350g.
It has also been confirmed to have a mini-LED display that offers 1,100 nits of maximum brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 155% sRGB color gamut. It has also been confirmed that Odin 2 does not run Windows, which likely means that it will run Android as the operating system, but Ayn does not offer a confirmation at this time.
This laptop could continue the legacy of the PSP
Ayn's latest handheld is filling an important niche in the handheld market, one left behind by Sony's PSP, which is easily the tech giant's best laptop. It was a monster in sales, reaching 80.79 million units sold worldwide, with the best-selling title being Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (4.6 million units).
Additionally, it can't be a coincidence that this new laptop from Ayn looks incredibly similar to the PSP and is likely aimed at those who want to play smaller scale titles, as well as solid emulation options for those interested in retro gaming. . Although we don't know for sure, it's easy to assume that's the idea when we look at Odin 2 and how it reaches a mix of that audience and those who want to play. best computer games.
However, this upcoming model is smaller, meaning performance could suffer. But if people can play indie titles, as well as AA and emulated retro games, and for a much more reasonable price than other laptops, it could end up being a big hit for those who want to fill that niche. Especially those who hoped the PS Vita would continue that legacy but ultimately failed.
