Pros and cons
AYANEO
Pros
- Entry price of $79 across a handheld and controller range keeps the opening cost low.
- Build to order, so memory and storage can be chosen rather than taken from a fixed configuration.
- Memory reaches 64 GB on amd graphics, and one GPU brand keeps configurations simple to order.
Cons
- Warranty of 1 year is thin, and the length ranking is 17 of 40.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line or live chat listed.
- Returns are limited to a 7 day window, which is tight once a custom build has shipped.
refurbed
Pros
- Devices are graded on the like new, excellent and very good scale and battery health is held at a minimum of 85%.
- refurbed lists computers, phones and audio, a wider set of categories than computers, phones and audio and computers, phones and audio.
- Coverage spans AT, BE and BG, so a single account reaches most of Europe rather than a single market.
Cons
- Click and collect is not offered, so every order is shipped rather than collected.
- There is no dead pixel policy, so a monitor with a faulty panel is handled under the general warranty.
- The 30 day return window puts refurbed at position 3 of 80 electronics stores ranked on returns, so it is not the longest.
Who each suits
AYANEO
Who it suits
- Players who want one device covering pc, mobile and standalone play across Windows and Android.
- Buyers comfortable choosing their own specification, since build to order is offered.
- Shoppers who accept a 1 year warranty to reach an entry price of $79.
Who should look elsewhere
- Headset and peripheral buyers: HyperX covers gaming headset, gaming mouse and gaming keyboard and CORSAIR covers gaming headset, gaming keyboard and gaming mouse, so their shelves suit a desk setup rather than handheld and controller.
- Anyone shopping for a headset as the main buy: Skullcandy lists gaming headset, a different product from the handheld and controller sold here.
- Anyone who wants a full desk setup from one maker: HyperX gathers gaming headset, gaming mouse and gaming keyboard in a single line, while this range covers handheld and controller only.

- Buyers in the UK and across mainland Europe who want a single account covering AT, BE and BG.
- People replacing a phone, since trade in is offered and handsets are unlocked.
Who should look elsewhere
- JBL buyers after computers or phones, since audio, gaming and refurbished leaves those categories out.
- Banggood shoppers who want cameras, since computers, phones and audio has no cameras category.
- Akkuk.hu buyers who want a refurbished category alongside appliances and cameras, since computers, phones and audio lists those two but not refurbished.

Questions about each
AYANEO
How much does the cheapest AYANEO device cost?+
The entry price is $79, which places AYANEO at 30 of 47 brands on price from, so the opening cost sits in the middle of the field rather than at either extreme. Hardware from this brand is bought outright, so there is no monthly or yearly charge to weigh after the purchase.
Does anything renew after buying an AYANEO device?+
No recurring charge applies, so the outlay stops at the purchase price of $79. What matters afterwards is cover rather than a plan: the warranty runs 1 year and returns are handled within a 7 day window. Anything outside those terms is your own cost, which is worth weighing against the low entry price.
refurbed
How much does a laptop cost on refurbed?+
refurbed lists laptops from £143.46, and the same range covers desktops, tablets and chromebooks under laptop, desktop and tablet. Operating systems for those machines come under Windows, macOS and chromeos. Build to order is not offered, so each machine arrives as graded stock rather than a configuration you choose.
Is delivery free?+
The UK free delivery threshold is £0, so delivery costs nothing on a £143.46 entry order. There is no collection route to compare it against, since click and collect is not offered, which keeps the delivered price and the checkout price the same number.
