If you are a fan of retro-designed modern technology, then Ayaneo's latest release might be for you, as the latest AM02 mini PC of the company offers the looks of the famed Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in its design. If you are not looking closely or attentive to its details, the device may be mistaken for Nintendo's renowned console, with one of the most massive differences being its screen on top.
The original Nintendo Entertainment System does not have a built-in screen, but this new mini PC is meant to offer its fitting retro-inspired games to experience.

Ayaneo has unveiled its latest take on its mini PCs, and this time, it takes on the iconic Nintendo Entertainment System's body, revamping it with a new screen on top, meant to offer a different kind of experience.

The AM02 brings a new 4-inch multi-functional touch screen on top, and it is a dedicated space where users may play games, apart from utilizing its other displays.
Still, one of the most noticeable from the new computer is its NES design, capturing the likeness, color, vibes, and overall form of the historic Nintendo console.
The AM02 mini PC combines both gaming and work in one, boasting of its 4nm AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS which offers a flagship-level performance output with 8 cores and 16 threads, alongside the Radeon 780M integrated graphics. It also comes equipped with a four-copper pope colling system, PCIe 4.0 SSD with Mainstream M.2 2280 specification, and two slots for DDR5 5600MHz memory.

It is now available on Indiegogo to purchase, offering an early bird price of $439 for its base variant.
Ayaneo's Iconic Designs and Tech
Ayaneo started its massive lineup of gadgets and gaming consoles with handheld devices, centering on its self-named AYANEO portable gaming console, which they later updated with the AYANEO 2. It also went alongside the AYANEO GEEK, another portable gaming console, with both devices featuring AMD's Ryzen 7 6800U mobile processor, alongside a regular Ryzen 7 6800U.
The company's portable gaming consoles are mostly put up against the Steam Deck, Valve's handheld device, particularly as AYANEO's later releases bring improvements to its CPU choices.
It also went big last year when it announced the Ayaneo AM01 mini PC designed after Apple's original Macintosh, capturing its iconic looks and features, but offers a Windows 11 operating system.
Less than a year since Ayaneo brought the AM01, it is now ready for another retro-designed mini PC for its lineup, centering on the AM02 that is now available for its early bird offers. In this version, Ayaneo said that it packs more power and capabilities compared to last year's release, calling it the high-performance mini PC, offering both gaming and work in this NES-inspired device.
