There's an art to the florid press release. If a games PR missive isn't pitching up promising an 'unforgettable journey,' or calling their turn-based RPG 'adrenaline-filled,' I'm wondering if their hearts are really in it. That is to say, a little bit of confidence isn't a bad thing. To that end, is a thing of beauty.

Ayaneo begin as they mean to go on, starting off strong by saying that their third-generation Windows handheld console is not only a "revolution," but will also redefine "gamer's imagination," and "foreshadows the future possibilities of handheld devices."

, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V offers big wins in terms of power in a properly portable form factor that also doesn't suck your battery dry. Besides, and, though Ayaneo is a smaller company, it could be a mighty alliance.

Now, there's always got to be a wildcard option — and here, that's Qualcomm. The Snapdragon X Elite CPUs have kept us guessing, with impressive portable panache, but . The chip manufacturer has also got their hands full besides, as . Maybe not so much a wildcard as just plain messy, then.

That said, while Snapdragon X Elite is hardly the best choice for any machine geared towards gaming, . Now, an Ayaneo 3 running Windows 95? I suspect it's only a matter of time.
