AYANEO opened an Indiegogo campaign for a Retro Mini PC AM02 and it already passed its goal, passing over $62,585 at time of writing. The early bird price is $439, with the pledge on the site being $441, and it is expected to ship in February 2024.
The goal of this line of PCs is to create small systems that resemble retro gaming consoles. In this case, a front “lid” can be lifted to show and access all of its ports. It also has buttons on the top where a console’s “power” and “reset” buttons would be.
Here’s a trailer showing off the Retro Mini PC AM02 in action. It offers a better sense of its size and scope, which is designed to resemble something like an NES, as well as shows how the display screen on the top looks.
And these are the specs from the official site:
Screen: 4” Multifunction Touch Screen with AYASpace Software Independent Control
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS
Memory: DDR5 5600MHz Dual Channel SO-DIMM Slot X2 16/32 GB, Expandable up to 64GB
SSD: 512GB/1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 Interface compatible with NVMe 1.4 and SATA 3.0. It supports up to 8TB Dual-Sided Particle SSD
OS: Windows 11 64-Bit Home Edition
As a reminder, this is one of multiple mini PCs and handhelds from the company on the way. It also is working on AYANEO Slide and FLIP handhelds.
The AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM02 is expected to ship in February 2024.
