AYANEO has launched a new Indiegogo campaign for the Retro Mini PC AM01, a new mini PC that is not only powered by a Ryzen 7 5700U or Ryzen 3 3200U CPU from AMD, but also features a design inspired by the original Apple Macintosh.
Here’s a video and description of the mini PC, which appears to start at $150 for the Ryzen 3 3200U version as part of an Early Bird deal, while the Ryzen 7 5700U version is available from $220:

The AYANEO team also shared the following message as to why it decided to branch out further from gaming handhelds by introducing a new mini PC:
Dedicated to creating pure Windows handhelds for seamless gaming experiences with AAA games anytime, anywhere, we focus on R&D for a wide range of gaming handhelds and deliver perfect handheld products for gamers. In addition, to further deliver a comprehensive gaming experience across different scenarios, expand our outstanding industrial design to various domains, and provide a touch of AYANEO aesthetics, we’re introducing a brand new Mini PC product series. As a completely new product line from AYANEO, we’ve incorporated the REMAKE concept into the design of the Mini PC series. We believe that our products in this category have the potential to be groundbreaking. This series, together with our handheld gaming devices, will connect mobile scenarios, semi-mobile scenarios, home environments, and more, aiming to create a unified and enjoyable gaming experience for different gaming scenarios.
AYANEO expects to ship its first Retro Mini PC AM01 units out by the end of November, while its gaming handhelds, which the company is normally known for, are currently available for 40% off through its web store.
