Pros

  • It comes with a SODIMM slot which allow you to add additional RAM.
  • Windows handheld gaming devices at $250 are hard to come by and the AYN Loki Zero fills the gap in the market.
  • The Athlon Silver 3050e together with the Vega 3 supports most modern Windows 2D games at full details and older 3D games at reduced details and display resolution.
  • PS2 and GameCube games generally run well at native resolution with some tinkering.
  • More compact than most of the other Windows based handhelds.

Cons

  • Analog sticks are not as recessed as most devices are today.
  • Analog triggers can be quite loud.
  • At the same price point, there are more powerful devices out there if Windows is not a requirement.
  • Requires some tinkering to get the most out of the device, not beginner friendly.
