In recent years, Anbernic has moved away from releasing gaming handhelds running Windows. For context, the Win600 arrived shortly before the Windows gaming handheld market took off thanks to the Asus ROG Ally (curr. $499 on Amazon), as well as the various models that Ayaneo, GPD and One-Netbook have introduced during that period.

In fact, it looks as though the Win701 may still be making its way to market, which has not be seen in almost eighteen months. Unsurprisingly, the device now features a newer chipset, as well as a modest redesign. As a result, the Win701 looks more like a ROG Ally or similar 7-inch gaming handhelds.
Similarly, Anbernic seems to have swapped the Ryzen 7 7840U for the Ryzen 7 8840U, which is now being replaced by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 itself. Nonetheless, the Ryzen 7 8840U and Radeon 780M will remain powerful enough to play pretty much anything on a 7-inch and 1080p display. It remains to be seen whether Anbernic will sell the Win701 globally for anywhere close to the CNY 4,999 (~$690) pricing shown below, though.
