AYANEO Slide / Antech Core HS vs GPD Win 4 (7640U / 7840U)

Compiled & reviewed by Urs von Gunten, HandheldWiki editorial · How we rate ·

Both the AYANEO Slide/Antech Core HS and the GPD Win 4 are high-end Windows 11 handhelds built around AMD Ryzen 7000-series silicon, and both reach a PlayStation 3 emulation ceiling. The GPD Win 4 starts at $701 and is available with either a Ryzen 5 7640U or Ryzen 7 7840U, giving budget-conscious buyers a lower entry point. The AYANEO starts at $699 but climbs to $1,599, and adds an optional SteamOS configuration — useful for buyers who prefer a console-style interface without managing Windows.
