Both the GPD Win 4 and the AYN Loki Max share the same AMD Ryzen 7 6800U chip and reach the same emulation ceiling — PlayStation 3 — so the choice comes down to price, form, and software flexibility. The Win 4 runs Windows and costs $799–$1199 depending on configuration, while the Loki Max is fixed at $775 and ships with your choice of Windows 11, SteamOS, or Linux, making it the more OS-flexible option for buyers who want to avoid Windows entirely.
