AYANEO Air In-Depth Review

The AYANEO Air is the latest handheld PC to enter a crowded market, but it has some pretty cool distinguishing characteristics: it's ultra small for what it can do, and features a beautiful OLED panel with 1080p resolution.  Let's take a deep dive look at this handheld and see if it's worth the $500+ asking price.  Additionally, is it supposed to be a "Steam Deck killer" or a "Switch killer"?  I can never keep them straight.

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer.  All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
