Ayaneo 3 is the 15th release of the company from Ayaneo 2s and 1s, and although it is great to play, it is still full of typical problems with Ayaneo conveyors. It does not support this except for this snowball with problems, Windows performs annoying dance. If you thought that complaints about the windows in these conveyors were tired, unfortunately I have bad news for you.
This does not mean, however Ayaneo 3 He’s enraged. It is not really when he does what was created: play games. However, every idea and grip thrown into the mixture this time always seems to have a problem. Part of this is the software.
Ayaspace 3, updated software overlays, which is an integral part of Ayaneo 3, is much better and surprisingly disturbs much less than in the case of Ayaspace 2. Earlier he tried to take over the controller or disturb the steam input if it was energetic. Here, Ayaspace warns you that using the default “game mode” will disrupt, and there is a quick switch to turn it on and off.
Fortunately, if you just want to start the games, I found Ayaneo 3 more than ready. Although I spent a lot of time in this side menu, because here you will switch the systems you want to configure for each controller module.

While Ayaspace 3 is much more walking – and much better marked for navigation over V2, including appropriate translations – I still think it’s much worse than just starting the Steam huge image mode. Maping, change of settings and simply general apply still feels SlaPdash, and I had software blocking more than once, forcing restarting. Fortunately, after removing the binding of the Home button, Ayaneo 3 basically becomes an almighty steam deck on a huge picture. Except for all problems that Windows brings.
Even the most basic thing, sleeping, is complex. I will stick a button, and if there is a program that is brave to convey that he uses the equipment, he will wake up. He will wake up with full fans at 3am. I was blinded twice by the OLED screen, which is trying to force a manual computer. Each time I was disappointed, seeing that the battery was exhausted during “sleeping”.
It is more annoying that he will continue to keep it well after he will fall asleep. I moved from home to another place and had to put the device in its housing. Opening it after fifteen minutes can cook the egg.
It was easier for me to turn off Ayaneo 3, which most often caused the device to work for the first time. Like 2S, Ayaneo 3 sometimes does not wake up on demand and will not hang for a few minutes before displaying anything.
This makes the whole thing a bit traveling. Software that takes over other software and none of them is particularly great. However, this gritty and fallen approach results from the best parts of Ayaneo 3. It is a real reflection of how Ayaneo reacts to its recipients.
I love that Ayaneo deliberately revealed the apply of APU RAM and VRAM directly on the menu. At 32 GB you can have up to 16 GB VRAM and 16 GB of RAM to give yourself an additional space in titles such as AVOWED.
With 2S is the second best USB port; Oculink is in its place, which allows the combination of EGPU. At the top and bottom there are two more USB-C ports, and the 74-inch OLED panel is great. All its add -ons make sense, especially in the case of the model we tested (32 GB RAM, 1 TB of memory), but there is always something on the road.
However, modules with dimensions are a real draw of the novel Ayaneo 3. Looking closer to the modules, the idea is straight into my street. The hook is that you need to cough USD 99 for what is essentially a range of similar sticks, D-Pad and buttons. One of the more compelling ideas is ideal for imitating iconic favorites in Sega Saturn or fighting and other classic matters of six buttons.
There are also two tracks. They are not particularly comfortable, with a brief distance of travel and I just couldn’t find this sweet place for sensitivity. For some reason, I found when I loaded the game, Ayaspace would force the game mode, turning them into a trashy joysticks touchpad until I conducive to the menu.
Modules are the main trick and unfortunately one of my biggest fears. I am not only afraid that they will break, but also largely rely on Ayaspace. When you want to throw them away to change, you must apply it to spit them with a little strength.
The control mode button cannot jump without software. This is a strange supervision over the device that rose to the crowd of game enthusiasts in many ways. Just like the shoulder buttons that can be blocked for a shorter stroke or rear blades to obtain additional controls. It also means, for now, the device is not in Linux, because I am not even sure if it recognized the default control configuration.
Apu Ayaneo 3, HX 370, is a solid improvement in the last two generations. Of course, the device works best after pushing to a maximum, 35 W, and fortunately Ayaneo makes it extremely basic to do. Ayaspace makes it easier to provide more head by dedication to RAM for VRAM. More complex to run games should stop complaining about the lack of resources.
Changes within 3DMark are negligible (3641 in spy times set to 8 GB VRAM/24 GB of RAM), but in the Benchmark Mythmark Wukonga tool I saw an augment in performance. Without the growth of the system, he moved from 18 FPS to 23 fps. Thanks to its inclusion, Ayaneo 3 moved from head to toe from Onexplayer F1 Pro, sitting at 34 frames per second.
Buy if …
✅ You want power: This version of Ayaneo 3 is full with it if you can go through some software quirks.
✅ Adjusting is the king: Play in your way, even if the current selection of modules is not particularly exhilarating.
Don’t buy if …
❌ You want basic time: Ayaneo 3 can be “plug-and-play”, but when you need more of it, it starts to bother.
❌ You are not fine: If you are ponderous or susceptible to coffee leaks, you don’t need Ayaneo 3 in your life.
However, the most impressive is AMD Ryzen AI HX 370, with Radeon 890M. In games such as Slitterhead I saw a solid 60 fps when I turned on upscaling FSR (quality). Smaller games, such as metal bringing, reached 120 FPS with raytating, even with unreal mass of explosions and slaughter.
I also gave Avowed A Go, who managed 45 FPS on 35 W in stronger areas of fighting. Discovering the first city caused a decrease to about 35 FPS, with the worst hit 30. At Tokyo Xtreme Racer Ayaneo 3 managed about 45 FPS in the default medium -sized switching settings. This is not a completely expected jump from Radeon 8060 and later, but the choice of Ayaneo, to go with this medium stage, is a welcome change compared to 7840U and 8840U Radeon 780m IGPU.
You see, it’s not all bad news from Ayaneo 3. At its basic level it is a solid manual with a forceful performance. However, with all his tricks and problems I simply cannot recommend it when it is a non-century bird price of USD 1499 for this specific model. In the upper part it costs USD 1899.
