Скачать или смотреть Windows Updates Are Breaking Handheld PCs and more AYANEO

Handheld gaming in 2026 is a mess — and in this episode, we break down why.

From the ongoing AYANEO handheld controversy and accusations of bait-and-switch tactics, to Android and ARM devices creeping into x86 territory, this panel dives deep into what’s actually happening behind the marketing.

We cover:
Why AYANEO has lost consumer trust
Konkr Pocket Fit showing up at retail while backers wait
Android handhelds vs SteamOS and x86 PCs
Windows updates breaking Ally, OneXConsole, and handheld software
MSI Claw AI 8+ vs Legion Go vs Ally X
Intel ARC driver maturity and XESS3 frame generation mods
Z1E vs Z2E pricing, Panther Lake rumors, and whether it’s too late
Why retro handhelds might make more sense than $1,400 PCs
The case for 395 “halo” handhelds — and who they’re really for

This isn’t fanboy talk — this is real consumer advice.
If you’re thinking about buying a handheld gaming device, or wondering whether x86 handhelds still make sense at today’s prices, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
