If you push the machine to its limits, then you'll be lucky to get an hour of use between charges from its 28 Wh, 7,350 mAh power cell (a more expensive variant of the machine has a 38 Wh, 10,050 mAh cell, which gives you a little more stamina). The biggest single complaint we have with the Aya Neo Air is the battery life, which is pretty woeful, even when you're careful with your power consumption.

We often found that we would get improved frame rates in modern PC games by keeping the resolution at 720p.
#STEAM LEFT 4 DEAD BUNDLE 720P#
The 1080p screen almost goes to waste, because, nine times out of ten, it makes much more sense to drop down to 720p (something you can also do quickly in AyaSpace) and enjoy improved performance and longer battery life the difference between 1080p and 720p on a 5.5-inch screen is less noticeable than you might think. Using the Aya Neo Air is a balancing act due to these settings.
However, AAA games will need you to make use of the highest 12W setting, which means you'll get better performance but less battery stamina.
So, for example, if you're running an old PC title with modest power demands or you're emulating an 8-bit console, you can drop down to the 5W TDP option. Using Aya Neo's bespoke 'AyaSpace' application, you can quickly alter the power output of the system to find that sweet spot by selecting a thermal design power (TDP) option, you can limit the system to prevent it from running too hot and draining your battery. The unit we were sent to review is powered by an AMD Ryzen 5 5560U chipset with 16GB of RAM, which isn't going to set the world alight when it comes to processing grunt but is more than enough to handle most modern games.

The Aya Neo Air is running Windows 11, so you can essentially run any PC game you'd normally play on your desktop or laptop. It's comfortable to use for prolonged periods and feels incredibly well made the plastic is of high quality, and there's no creaking or movement in the casing. Compared to Aya Neo's previous products – which have often been a little too heavy and cumbersome for our liking – the Air feels much more accomplished from a design perspective. The twin analogue sticks are of similar size to those on the Switch, while the D-Pad and face buttons are nice and responsive. It's slightly thicker due to the more powerful components inside but is arguably more ergonomic than its rivals as well. At just 398g, it's incredibly lightweight and has roughly the same footprint as the Switch Lite, and is much, much smaller than Valve's Steam Deck. The Aya Neo Air certainly lives up to its name.
