On August 29, the AYANEO Product Sharing Live Event officially kicked off. In this session, AYANEO once again showcased its unique commitment to blending retro design with cutting-edge innovation. The event marked the official release of the long-awaited retro Mini PC — AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S, alongside a major upgrade to the dual-screen interaction software of the AYANEO Pocket DS, delivering players a double delight of nostalgic charm and innovative gameplay.

 

 

AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S Officially Available for Pre-Order

 

As the highlight of this event, the highly anticipated retro flip auxiliary-screen Mini PC — AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S — was officially launched and is now available for pre-order on IGG. The AM01S comes in multiple configurations, including barebone and standard editions, available in Retro White and B.Duck colorways. Visit the AM0S IGG page to place your pre-order.

 

 

 

 

Flip Secondary Screen Design, Redefining the Retro Experience

 

Building upon the classic design language of the AM01, AYANEO introduces the all-new Retro Mini PC AM01S. For the first time in the Mini PC category, it incorporates a flip secondary touchscreen, with an adjustable angle from 0–80°, featuring a smooth and durable damping hinge. The secondary display serves both as an information panel and a touch-control interface.

 

 

The 4-inch smart touchscreen supports a rich set of AYASpace functions such as performance monitoring, mode switching, clock and weather, while also serving as a native Windows extended display. It can function as an OSD panel, dynamic screensaver, or walkthrough display window, unlocking unlimited creative possibilities. With a CNC aluminum alloy frame and optimized structure, the AM01S ensures durability and premium feel, while also improving top-mounted thermal dissipation.

 

 

 

Retro Aesthetics Evolved — The New Darling of Desk Setups

 

The AM01S inherits signature beveled edges and retro-striped detailing, paired with a clean front panel and hidden I/O ports. With its compact 1L chassis, it is designed to be a dream desktop companion for enthusiasts of both retro aesthetics and stylish setups.

 

 

B.Duck Limited Edition — A Fusion of Retro and Playful Style

 

AYANEO also unveiled a B.Duck limited edition AM01S, blending retro aesthetics with youthful, playful design. This collaboration creates a unique collectible piece that resonates especially with Gen-Z players.

 

 

Retro Looks, Flagship Power

 

Beneath its retro shell, the AM01S houses flagship-level performance. Multiple AMD processor configurations are available:

 

AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370: Zen 5 architecture, 12 cores and 24 threads, integrated Radeon™ 890M GPU, and the latest XDNA 2 NPU with up to 50 TOPS AI performance, ushering in the era of the Mini AI PC.

 

 

AMD Ryzen™ 7 8745HS: Zen 4 architecture, 8 cores and 16 threads, delivering excellent power efficiency for productive work and entertainment.

 

 

 

 

AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS / Ryzen™ 9 8945HS: Balanced performance and efficiency, supporting 16 TOPS AI compute power, ensuring outstanding overall performance.

 

 

The AM01S supports 65W sustained performance, with dual-fan and dual-copper-pipe cooling for stable output. Combined with DDR5 high-speed memory and dual SSD expansion, the AM01S is not just a retro tribute — it’s a flagship Mini PC for gaming, productivity, and AI computing.

 

 

All-Round Expansion & Smarter Controls

 

In terms of I/O, the AM01S far surpasses its predecessor with full-speed USB4, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, HDMI, and SD card slot support. It comes preloaded with AYASpace 3.0, offering performance modes, FPS Thunder real-time monitoring, and optimized keyboard/mouse interactions for a streamlined and intuitive smart control experience.

 

 

REMAKE the Classics, Retro Reborn

 

With its unique “REMAKE” philosophy, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S reinterprets the classics, merging retro aesthetics with cutting-edge performance. Delivering far more than a traditional Mini PC, it achieves the perfect balance of “retro looks, flagship core”, redefining what a Mini PC can be for Gen-Z players.

 

 

 

 

World’s First Flip Dual-Screen Android Handheld — AYANEO Pocket DS, Dual-Screen Experience Evolved

 

Alongside the launch of the Retro Mini PC AM01S, another highlight of the event was the AYANEO Pocket DS, the world’s first flip dual-screen Android handheld. A perfect blend of retro-inspired design and forward-looking innovation, the Pocket DS reignites players’ nostalgia for dual-screen handhelds while offering a new wave of dual-screen interactive gameplay. During the event, AYANEO showcased the latest progress in its dual-screen software, thrilling fans with new and creative play styles.

 

 

Exclusive Dual-Screen Software, Fully Evolved Interaction

 

The Pocket DS dual-screen software has been continuously upgraded based on player feedback, offering a more intuitive and flexible experience. It supports three screen modes: dual-screen independent display, main screen only, or secondary screen only. The two screens can run apps independently, enabling use cases like gaming on the main screen while browsing guides on the secondary screen, or running a modern title on one screen and a retro game on the other. Popular emulators have already been adapted, with further collaborations planned to extend application support.

 

 

Interaction is more fluid than ever, with three-finger swipe gestures allowing seamless content dragging and screen swapping. The new Focus Lock feature enables users to control which screen receives inputs, with three modes: auto, lock to main screen, or lock to secondary screen, ensuring adaptability to different scenarios.

 

 

 

AYANEO also unveiled the brand-new AYANEO DS Launcher, featuring an app drawer, card-style multitasking, and a quick control center. The secondary screen can manage tasks, provide shortcut controls, display performance metrics, adjust fan speeds and CPU/GPU frequencies, configure button mapping, and toggle Wi-Fi/Bluetooth — making it a true “second command center” for both entertainment and performance management.

With AYANEO’s exclusive in-house software and a growing dual-screen ecosystem, the Pocket DS elevates dual-screen interaction from a supplementary feature to a core gameplay experience, creating endless new playstyles for retro handheld fans and tech enthusiasts alike.

Innovation Unending, Retro Reborn

 

From the release of the Retro Mini PC AM01S to the evolution of the Pocket DS dual-screen experience, AYANEO once again demonstrates its unwavering dedication to both retro charm and modern innovation. By intertwining classic aesthetics with flagship performance, and pioneering interactions with geek spirit, AYANEO continues to push boundaries — delivering players an immersive and surprising all-in-one gaming experience.
