Key Takeaways
1. Ayaneo launched the AM01S mini-PC on Indiegogo, succeeding the AM01 and AM02 models.
2. The AM01S features a 4-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi 6E support, and an M.2 2280 slot for PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
3. The starting price of the AM01S is $349 without RAM or storage, while a more powerful version starts at $639.
4. The AM01S is equipped with either the Ryzen 7 8745HS or the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, with the latter providing better performance.
5. Ayaneo plans to begin shipping the first units of the AM01S in November 2025.
Ayaneo has finally launched its highly anticipated third mini-PC on Indiegogo. The AM01S, which was announced over a year ago, follows the previous models, AM01 and AM02 (currently priced at $599 on Amazon). Interestingly, the AM01S is actually more powerful than the AM02, although this isn’t always the case.
Specifications Comparison
To provide some background, the AM02 is exclusively available with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8845HS processor. In contrast, the AM01S kicks off with the Ryzen 7 8745HS, which is approximately 7% slower in our tests compared to the Ryzen 7 8845HS. On the other hand, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 that Ayaneo also offers with the AM01S outperforms the Ryzen 7 8845HS in both CPU and GPU performance.
Features and Variants
All models of the AM01S come equipped with a 4-inch touchscreen that has a resolution of 960 x 400, Wi-Fi 6E support, and an M.2 2280 slot for PCIe 4.0 SSDs. Notably, the Ryzen 7 8745HS and Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 versions seem to differ in terms of their secondary SSD options. Sadly, Ayaneo’s Indiegogo campaign page doesn’t offer clear information on this matter.
Pricing and Availability
The starting price of the AM01S is set at $349 without RAM or storage, paired with a Ryzen 7 8745HS APU. On the other hand, Ayaneo lists a barebones version with the more powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at $639. The price for the B.Duck variant, which includes a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage, can go up to $999 on Indiegogo. As of now, Ayaneo aims to start shipping the first units in November 2025.
