AYN Thor Lite vs Base vs Pro vs Max - Which Model Should You Buy?
Which AYN Thor Model Should You Buy?
Answer a few quick questions. We’ll suggest a model based on your library, install location, and whether you might explore PC emulation later.
The wizard asks six questions then shows a recommendation. A GameHub note explains internal storage behavior.
What are you mainly planning to play?
Will you want to emulate PC games now or in the next year?
Where will most games install?
How big is your installed library likely to get?
How important are fast load times?
Budget posture?
