The Loki Max was AYN's move into x86, pairing the Ryzen 7 6800U and Radeon 680M with a 6-inch 1080p screen and full Windows. It plays the PC library and emulates up to PS2/GameCube/Wii comfortably. The 6800U is a generation behind the latest chips and the 60Hz screen and battery are modest, but as an affordable entry into Windows handhelds it remains a sensible option.
