Original Story [Fri 22nd Sep, 2023 10:45 BST]: The pre-launch page for AYANEO's latest handheld gaming PC, the AYANEO Slide, is coming later today to IndieGoGo.
Packing an AMD Ryzen 7840U chipset and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the Slide joins the likes of the AYANEO Air 1S and AYANEO Kun in the company's expanding lineup of gaming-focus handhelds.
The system boasts a 6-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display which slides upward to reveal the keyboard – which has RGB backlit keys.
The device is powered by a 46.2 Wh battery and boasts Hall Sensor analogue sticks for a drift-free experience.
The page will go live at 3:30 PM, Japanese Standard Time – because the company is currently demonstrating its wares at the Tokyo Game Show.
