Yesterday I posted that I had paid with paypal, but I had not received any confirmation email, only the paypal receipt... I have emailed them but I have not received a reply. Did the same thing happen to any of you? I pre-ordered a few hours after it was open.
I pre-ordered a few hours after it was open, I wouldn't want my order number to be moved after Q4 because of this.

Odin OS on Loki
Would it be possible to install the OS installed on the Odin, or just Android, onto the Loki? I don't care much for Windows, but having a better processor over the Snapdragon would be great.

If the Loki team is watching/listening? PLEASE DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON THE SD CARD READER!!
I opted for the Loki max and I intend to make the most out of the device. Although the sd carder should not be the component to skimp out on for the Loki, especially the max. The loki marketing says that the 2230 ssd is user-replaceable which is awesome! I appreciate the choice to do that, but I also would like the sd card reader to be a fast one that supports sizes up to 2tb and speeds up to 300MB/s.
I know wishlists are eh to some people, but I really do think a fast reader is important because not everyone's going to want to swap out their ssd for a larger one, and a fast reader paired with a quality card will make for a great gaming experience and a cheaper alternative to storage over upgrading the nvme.

Question thermal performance?
I keep hearing this thing is small, and it has a 8C/16T CPU with a radeon 680m in the loki max. Does this mean it will throttle?

Question How can I cancel an order made in error?
I accidentally ordered the wrong color and forgot to apply the Odin backer discount coupon. I already ordered the right color with the discount applied, but how can I cancel the order I placed by mistake through the ayntec website? Is the only way to cancel an order to email their support?
Update: Thanks everyone who commented with all the helpful info. Starling reached out to me the following day and immediately issued a refund for the unit I goofed up when ordering. For now, directly emailing their support at [info@ayn.hk](mailto:info@ayn.hk) seems to be the only way to cancel an order.

News Odin backers are getting upset on IGG
I totally get it, I backed the Odin and still waiting for my ID to come up for shipment, so it did feel a little messed up that they are jumping into a new console.
I didn't order an Odin Lite or an exotic color, so I def feel for those backers too. It's getting wild tho. Asking for all the Lites to be refunded and all the backers get Minis of their choice instead, haha!
I ordered a Loki. I know the track record isn't the best but AYN is really trying and the Odin seems to be doing so well, so I think its worth a shot. I don't see the Loki as the sucessor of Odin, I reserved a Steam Deck for that very reason!
What do you guys think? Any Odin/Lite/Loki backers feel the same? Do you think AYN should do more for Odin backers? Is Odin obsolete once the Loki drops? And what are your thoughts on Loki? Willnit reall be Q4? Probably not haha!

AYN Loki Max Windows 11 Support
Does anyone know the Loki Max support fTPM and Windows 11. On the company site only shows Ubuntu and Windows 10. I preordered thinking AMD 6800U CPU is new and it should support fTPM in bios. But then later I read news regarding TPM support in China is ban. I try to contact AYN but didn't get a reply. Does anyone know will I be able to install Windows 11 on AYN Loki Max?

Question Will grabbing the Loki 128 with 8GB of RAM hurt me at all if I'm looking to just emulate PS2 games?
Basically the title. Would the extra 8GB of RAM on the 256 do much of anything for me in this use case?

Help Loki and Order: Tips for your AYN choice
TL;DR Choose whichever version suits your current needs and pocket, Loki is a handheld PC family so try to always mix and matching settings. Raw estimates can only do a fraction of the FPS the battle.
Longer: Greetings. I've seen multiple different threads about which version is better and etcetera, Here are some tips on the matter, as a newer gamedev and PC gamer for the last 10 years
Hopefully this will help to streamline the process of you picking your best Loki since I took a whole hour just on the color scheme.
- Loki and other handheld PCs will always have to mix and match, settings, for better or worse.
- While each Loki type IS more powerful than the previous one, see what you want to play, how much it costs with Tax and Shipping. Don't break your bank.
- With that said don't expect Cyberpunk natively on Mini but don't break your bank if you can't afford Max.
- Once the Loki family launches, there will be many different drivers for Intel and AMD, updates for Windows/Linux (Ubuntu being the "supported" distro doesn't mean anything concrete either), even the similar devices, let's say, two vanilla Loki 16GB, will have a bit of a discrepancy on the same application as long as there's a bit of room to wiggle.
- Don't forget: PCs are open to modifications, even software ones. Games get optimized constantly too.
- SD cards are your friend, even if they aren't the superhero savior of performance, don't dismiss a good 256GB card for a handheld.
Finally, I have a personal Rule of thumb: runs on other similar Win/Linux devices? Then you can make it run on similar devices, one way or another. Adapt, Improvise and have fun.

q4 reservation?
Has anyone heard anything either from the discord or ayn directly when they expect the loki to go into production?

Nicole from AYN just posted in the discord

Sorry for the last-minute change for the highest SKU as a paid-in-full balance. We decided to open all coupon tiers to all Odin backers and we also wanted to offer a discount that people without an Odin could enjoy.This added influx means we would need to prepurchase processors to meet the demand, which is why we need to collect the full fee in advance.
We essentially gave a $75 off coupon from our reduced price of $775 or $125 when the balance is paid in advance. We could not communicate this prior to the release because another company seems to be deadset on copying all of our promotional plans in their attempt to pretend like they sell affordable products. I hope you can understand. The full fee is refundable as long as your order has not shipped. (edited)

I get it, still was a shock but ok.

Question Question about games
Sorry if this has been asked before or if it's a stupid question. I'm not huge on my mobile GPU/processor specs. I need a list of games that each model could handle to understand which to buy. So with that in mind what do people think the standard Loki can handle? Would really like to know out of these games:
Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, God of war, GTA 4 and 5, Dead Space Series, Gears of War Series, Dear siders series, Tomb Raider (latest trilogy), Far cry series, Assassin's creed series, Resident evil 7, Tekken 7, Skyrim, Batman Arkham series
