Insanely fast, Insanely disappointing - Ayaneo Kun Review

It's always bothered me when people complain about the appearance/size of the Steam Deck. Valve designed it the way they did for a reason. Turns out, if you want ergonomic access to thumbsticks, d-pad/ABXY buttons, AND trackpads...you have to make room for all of that. And those trackpads man...for those of us who put effort into learning to use them (and/or the Steam Controller) know their value. The Deck is uniquely positioned as a device that excels at playing most of the available Steam library. Including games that don't otherwise have good (or any) controller support.

Love the disclaimer at the beginning. I believe it does a great job at setting expectations of the work you do.

18:42 On Steam you can choose which DLC is installed before you begin your download. Right-click Fallout 4 -> Properties... -> DLC -> Then uncheck "Fallout 4 - High Resolution Texture Pack". If you have already installed the texture pack, unchecking this option also removes the texture pack.

As a Lenovo Legion Go owner (8.8" 2560x1600 screen) I've found it best to run demanding games at 1280x800 with integer scaling on. 2560x1600 is a perfect integer multiple of 1280x800, so you still get a very sharp display (343 pixels per inch) with good performance. People complain that 800p is too low but it's double the pixel density of a 4K 27" desktop monitor (163 PPI)...it looks fine. Even when you calculate the revised PPI at 1280x800 it's still higher than a 4K screen at 171 PPI.

Handhelds are amazing. I'm actually watching this from my ally.

Your amazon screenshot to the rog ally is for the non extreme version. The z1 extreme is more comparable to the Kun but its still 600usd when on sale.

I've got one and absolutely love it. I don't use the default software though, Handheld Companion is a lot better.

19:31 I love the etc.'s getting cut off at the end of this list.

Thanks for this honest review. Did you also review the abxylute?

Yay new handhelds! 🎉

Besides the ergonomics I think their biggest mistake was putting a 1600p screen on it. You don't need that kind of resolution on an 8.4" screen. If everyone is going to drop the render resolution to 1200p anyway for performance then that is what you should be putting on the device to start with. It probably could have helped them cut the price down as well.

1080p/1200p is about optimal for a 7" class screen on a handheld device. It falls at right about the limit of human visual perception, so going higher resolution has no particular benefit. (Arguments to the contrary are in the same camp as the audiophile's "tubes vs. transistors" argument.) I have no issues with the Steam Deck's 800p resolution, and the lower demands of the lower resolution make for better gameplay.

Native screen resolution is a great point. I own a tricked out Kun and never used the full resolution. Everything is scaled down. I do not have many issues with accidental input on the trackpads. Would rather have them than not. Disagreed on the Windows front. Windows is a BENEFIT.

You can't adjust sceen resolution ? the Legion Go you can adjust on the menu

I own the 64 GB model ! I love the AYANEO KUN it’s my favorite hand, device so far. I will admit I do like my steam deck OLED model. But when I wanna play the heavy heating games, I grab the kUN.

would steamos be able to integer scale well?

Hold up... Dark mode t shirt... Is there a Techno Tim collab i havent seen or is this alluding to a future video?

I have big hands, I've had no issues after disabling the trackpads.

I love the screensize but not without OLED :/

I have always had issues with t Displays with that resolution. I avoid them at all cost.
