The device will feature AMD’s top-tier laptop processor, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, as its System on a Chip (SoC)—a detail already announced earlier.
This new video revealed that to cool down the powerful SoC, AYANEO NEXT II will employ a cooling system combining two fans. The fan noise at full speed might be noticeable.

Around the gamepad area, it has been revealed that AYANEO NEXT II uses Tunnel Magneto-Resistive (TMR) sensors for its analog sticks and magnetic Hall-effect sensors on the trigger buttons.
Additionally, small circular touchpads are located on both sides of the screen. It remains to be seen how these will be utilized.
