AYANEO Next 2 handheld gaming PC priced over $5,300 amid RAM shortage

AYANEO announced its Next 2 handheld gaming PC with a top‑end configuration now listed at $5,299, a $1,000 increase from the earlier $4,299 price. The flagship model houses an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, 128 GB LPDDR5X‑8533 RAM, a 2 TB SSD, a 9.06‑inch OLED display supporting up to 165 Hz, and a 116 Wh battery.

The price jump follows a production pause earlier in the year caused by soaring memory and storage component costs, which the company described as a "RAM crisis." AYANEO also offers lower‑spec variants – 64 GB RAM at $3,699 and a 32 GB RAM model with 1 TB SSD at $2,999 – with shipments slated to begin by late July.
