Ayaneo upgrades AM01S retro mini PC with touchscreen and better performance

Ayaneo has updated its AM01S mini PC with better hardware and a new touchscreen display. This small computer is inspired by classic computers from the 1980s and 1990s. The 2025 version of the AM01S now comes with a more powerful AMD Strix Point Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, faster RAM, and improved storage options.

The AM01S now has DDR5-5600 RAM, which is much faster than older memory types. It also includes an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD, allowing for quick storage and data transfer. If users need more space, there is an SDXC card slot on the side to add extra storage or move files easily.

One of the biggest changes is the 4-inch touchscreen, which is now a horizontal display. The previous model, the AM02, had a rotated vertical screen, which caused compatibility issues. The new screen is easier to use and supports Windows extended mode, meaning users can control the mini PC directly from the touchscreen. The hinged display can move up to 90 degrees, making it flexible to use in different positions.

The AM01S has a design that looks like an old Macintosh computer, especially when placed upright. It even displays a coloured “hello” text, similar to classic Apple advertisements. While the touchscreen can be used for navigation, it can also display system information, performance details, or act as a stylish extra screen.

Ayaneo pre-installs AYASpace v2.5, a special control centre that helps users adjust power settings, monitor performance, and customise their experience. This makes it easier to fine-tune the mini PC according to personal needs.

Ayaneo has not yet announced how much the AM01S will cost or when it will be available, but the official launch seems to be happening soon. With its stronger hardware, improved touchscreen, and classic look, the AM01S could be a great choice for users who want a small but powerful mini PC.
