| The Konkr Fit is now available for preorder |
If you’ve been waiting for a high-end Windows handheld that promises to tackle modern PC games with ease, Ayaneo has just opened preorders for its latest model, the Konkr Fit. With specs that look impressive on paper and a sleek design, it’s tempting to hit that “buy” button right away. But if you’ve followed Ayaneo’s track record with preorders, you might want to take a deep breath before clicking.
Pricing for the Konkr Fit starts at $999, plus shipping and potential import fees depending on where you live. That’s before you even choose your configuration—and there are quite a few options to pick from.
Power Under the Hood: Ryzen AI 9 and Fast RAM
At the heart of the Konkr Fit, buyers can choose between two modern AMD APUs: the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 or the slightly more powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 470. Both are built on AMD’s latest architecture and should provide plenty of muscle for gaming on the go.
Memory options include 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, while storage comes as a 512GB or 1TB M.2 2230 PCIe 4.0 SSD. There’s also a microSD card slot for expansion, though Ayaneo notes it may reach speeds up to 300 MB/s—fine for media and lighter titles, but possibly too slow for installing and running heavier AAA games directly.
The Display and Controls: Where It Shines
One of the standout features is the 7-inch OLED screen, which boasts a 1080p resolution, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 800 nits. That should mean vibrant colors, deep blacks, and great visibility even in brighter settings.
For controls, Ayaneo is including TMR joysticks and Hall-effect triggers, which are generally more durable and accurate than traditional potentiometer-based parts. There’s also a D-pad, extra programmable buttons, and a gyroscope for motion-assisted aiming in supported games.
Portability and Connectivity
Weighing in at 1.63 pounds, the Konkr Fit isn’t the lightest handheld out there, but it packs an 80.85Wh battery—sizable for a device this compact. How that translates into real-world battery life will depend greatly on what you’re playing and at what settings.
For ports, you get a full-featured USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4 (handy for docking to a monitor or TV), a second USB-C for data, and a 3.5mm headphone jack—a reassuring sight for audio purists.
You can check out all the details and configurations directly on the official Ayaneo product page for the Konkr Fit.
Why You Might Want to Wait
Here’s the catch: Ayaneo has a history of delayed deliveries and occasional communication hiccups when it comes to preorders. While the company generally delivers its products, if you need a handheld by a certain date—say, for travel or as a gift—this might be a bit of a gamble.
The Konkr Fit isn’t alone in the high-end handheld space, either. With competitors like the Steam Deck OLED, Asus ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go already on the market—and often available with faster shipping and local support—some users may prefer to buy from a more established retail channel.
Bottom Line
The Ayaneo Konkr Fit looks like a technically capable, well-specced handheld that could be a great choice for portable PC gaming. If you don’t mind potential delays and value top-tier hardware like an OLED screen and Hall-effect controls, it might be worth the preorder.
But if you need certainty on delivery dates or prefer buying from a local retailer with easier returns, it could be smart to hold off until initial units start shipping and real-world reviews come in.
Either way, Ayaneo is clearly aiming high with the Konkr Fit—here’s hoping the execution matches the ambition.
