I broke half of them... - AYANEO 2 + Geek

Linus loves handheld PCs and has been carrying around his AYANEO as a daily driver for months now, but with the new AYANEO 2 and Geeks' improved specs, they could take over as the king of handheld PCs... as long as they work..!

If you hate the wrap, just wait until you see the billboard.

[anthonyfn]

Wow, that wrap is actually not as bad as expected.

[John_]

12:00 I'm going to be honest, compared to the crazy image I had of how the car would look like when I heard "Dbrand" and "Car, " this actually turned out pretty damn nicely.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to drive around with that color-scheme myself, but it looks pretty damn cool if you ask me.
I fully expected Dbrand to have plastered the car in multiple silly images of Linus with pink background or something equally silly xD

[Secret_Takodachi]

First, he drops thermal paste in a CPU socket. Now he breaks a handheld? HOW MANY ELECTRONICS CAN LINUS BREAK IN ONE DAY?!

[MattFecho]

Holy crap, that car wrap is incredible and probably my second favorite one next to when Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth cel-shaded his Tesla! The Ayaneo 2 looks promising too but as of right now, I'm quite happy with my Steam Deck.

[joeyvigil]

That wrap looked amazing. Definitely an upgrade compared to his pink car.

[Mavitros]

That wrap is honestly sick. I think on a car I would prefer the black version of that skin, but it still looks sharp

[HortBlam]

The wrap actually looks kind of awesome! And there’s the added bonus, I guess, of protecting the paint itself from scratches until you get fed up with standing out so much 😂

[vhol]

The wrap on the Taycan is actually well done! Hahahah thought was going to be worse!

[mindgame]

That car wrap is actually insanely cool!! Also DBrand man those guys/girls are actually insane :')

[MaximusPrimusKay]

I like the look of the Ayaneo 2.
The all glass front reminds me of the Vita 1000.

[Thommygun-qvum]

Nice devices, but there is ONE THING all of them, besides the Steam Deck, get wrong. On a handheld, contrast to a controller (big fan of the XBOX controller layout), both analog sticks need to be on the top edge. The Nintendo Switch got it wrong and now almost everybody is copying it. My right thumb is still not mounted to my wrist, no matter how hard they try to sell me that layout...

[VincentCSF]

Linus: Tries not to be over the top and flashy, does a great job at being humble considering overall status.

D-Brand: LOOK AT ME IN THE CAR IM A DOUCHE

[angusgreensmith]

That customised ShortCircuit PC in the background is insanely cool

[anthony_j]

I considered the geek, but eventually ordered a GPD Win 4. Deciding factor was the size. Win 4 has the same cpu, but it’s much smaller and still good thermals. I wish the Win 4 had Hall joysticks. GPD is going to sell them as an upgrade, but they should be default like Aya is doing for a device in this price range.

[Capt.Deadpool]

did they forget to blur the plate 11:34, please tell them

[maristheone]

I’m loving how you can already see the massive improvements in the sponsor segments on the channels since Denis is on them.

[neggyt]

Would love to see this hooked up to an eGPU. Seen multiple videos on this saying it can do it but never did it. I have seen LTT reviewing eGPUs hook one up!

[connormeints]

I like how the Geek's faulty equipment was blamed on being a pre-production unit.. Any of us who know anything about Ayaneo knows that's definitely not the case XD. Faulty units left and right this time around lol.
