The first non-Valve device with SteamOS preinstalled is about to ship: Ayaneo just announced its next handheld gaming PC‚ the Next Lite‚ is running the open-source operating system.
Ayaneo is pitching the Next Lite as a cost-effective option‚ but we don’t know too much about the device just yet or how much it will cost. It has a seven-inch 800p screen‚ a 47Wh battery‚ and Hall effect joysticks‚ according to an Ayaneo blog post. The company is also advertising “vibrant colors” that include a good-looking seafoam green and “high-end craftsmanship.”
