AYA NEO has unveiled the AIR 1S gaming handheld powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U APU. The AIR 1S offers up to 32GB of RAM and 4TB of storage and is being offered through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
The AYA NEO AIR 1S opened the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign after a short teaser released by the brand. The teaser campaign was at the beginning of the month and the starting price of the handheld is $799. The options of the AIR 1S are based on different configurations of the RAM/ storage combination. The options are 16GB RAM+ 512GB storage, 32GB + 1TB, 32GB + 2TB and 32GB + 4TB. The AMD Ryzen 7 series APU of the model provides a decent performance boost.
The various memory/ storage combinations start at $799 for the 16GB/ 512GB model. The top configuration option of the AIR 1S is priced at $1,099. The color options available for the new gaming handheld include Aurora White, and Polar Black, while the two top models are Retro Power Edition. The lineup also includes the Ultra Thin & Light Limited Edition (32GB + 2TB).
AYA NEO says the AIR 1S will begin shipping in August 2023 but the Ultra Thin & Light Limited Edition model will come a bit later at the end of August. The AYA NEO AIR 1S has reportedly oversubscribed its Indiegogo target but the campaign is expected to run its full course.
