AYANEO Announces a Change to Their Order Process With the Mini PC AM03 Release
Hey there, retro tech lovers—AYANEO just dropped a bombshell that’s got the emulation community buzzing (and maybe breathing a sigh of relief).
On January 6, 2026, AYANEO’s sleek little Mini PC AM03—think pastel-colored 90s desktop meets Ryzen AI 9 power—is launching. But here’s the twist: no more IndieGoGo. For the first time, you’ll buy it straight from their website. And if you act fast? Early bird pricing, one-week shipping, and limited stock. No backer delays. No AliExpress middlemen. Just… actual inventory.
Why the change? Because last year, fans got so fed up. People who bought from third-party sellers received their Pocket Air Minis before IndieGoGo backers. Rumors flew, YouTube creators called them out, and AYANEO had to issue a statement. The community’s frustration wasn’t just about waiting—it was about being treated like an afterthought.
Is this a genuine pivot… or PR damage control? We don’t know yet. But if they’re finally listening, the AM03 could be more than a cute mini-PC—it might be AYANEO’s chance to win back trust. One pixel at a time. 🎮💻
(P.S. If you’re not first in line… good luck finding one after launch.)
