AYANEO takes portable gaming PCs to the next level with KONKR FIT

AYANEO has introduced KONKR FIT, a new Windows-based portable gaming PC with a brand new chipset and powerful battery. The device is the second product of the KONKR sub-brand after the Android model Pocket FIT, but this time the company has relied on the x86 platform and flagship performance.

The new product is equipped with Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor, an updated version of the HX 370 used in the previous AYANEO 3 laptop. Although the exact performance figures have not yet been disclosed, it is expected to be a moderate but noticeable upgrade to the Strix Point line with improved capabilities for gaming and AI tasks.

KONKR FIT has a 7-inch OLED display and an 80 Wh battery. Despite such a set of characteristics, the device is positioned as one of the most compact Windows portables in its class. AYANEO CEO Arthur Zhang noted that KONKR FIT is noticeably smaller than competitors like ROG Ally X, even though it has the same screen and battery size.

During the presentation, the company showed a working prototype, but the full list of characteristics, as well as the price and release date have not yet been announced. Given the situation with the supply of RAM and the overall laptop market, it is expected that the cost of the device may be comparable to other flagship models, including Lenovo Legion Go 2.

Visually, the KONKR FIT will be available in at least three colors: snow white, Retro Grey with red accents, and a bright yellow version that has already been used in the Pocket DS and Pocket FIT models.

Given the standard launch cycles for AYANEO products, the crowdfunding campaign may be launched in a few months, with the first deliveries expected to take place later next year. For comparison, the company’s previous console, AYANEO NEXT II, has not yet entered the fundraising stage, despite the official announcement back in November.
