Ayaneo Teases New FLIP 1S DS Model Based on Nintendo DS Design

Back in 2024, Ayaneo released Ayaneo FLIP KB and DS models of handheld PCs designed to resemble the Nintendo DS and 3DS line of handhelds, and now it confirmed a FLIP 1S DS is in development. While it confirmed a new one is on the way, only a teaser appeared on social media so far. This comes after it confirmed the “ongoing development of the FLIP product line” on Indiegogo.  The initial teaser for the Ayaneo FLIP 1S DS doesn’t show how this new take on handheld gaming PC inspired by the Nintendo handheld’s design will look just yet. It only confirmed that it will involve an entirely new design. So it will not only involve upgraded specs compared to the original Windows device and again involve dual screens, but it will look different from the original KB and DS designs. Here’s the initial infographic Ayaneo shared online. As a reminder, the original models involved the KB, which had a screen on the top and keyboard on the bottom, and DS, which featured screens on the top and bottom. Both involved a clamshell design, so when not in use someone could close it to protect the screens. At the official site, the base 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD DS model starts at $1,139. The base 16GB RAM and 512GB KB model starts at $839. The Ayaneo FLIP 1S DS is in development, though we don't know if it will resemble the Nintendo DS as closely as the original release did.
