If you've been exploring the handheld gaming PC community since it started to boom following the release of the Steam Deck, Ayaneo is a name that will be all too familiar.

We had the chance to speak to Ayaneo CEO Arthur Zhang about a range of topics from the importance of AMD's APU architecture, how it will make a splash in the Western market, and what it thinks of the Steam Deck. This conversation came shortly after the reveal of the Ayaneo AM02 mini PC, which we are in the process of reviewing.
