I don’t see much point on a folding device of that size if it doesn’t have a second screen, seems like lot of space wasted.

It also protects the screen.
I know Retroid are kind of the more "affordable" option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don't really want to spend more money on them. At this point I'd probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.
I found the RP5 to be fairly visually unappealing, but I've been interested in a handheld that's powerful and capable of running linux. So that glacier flip is looking fairly exciting!
Seems typical for Retroid.
The Snapdragon 865 offers good bang for the buck in the RP5, so it’ll probably be similarly cost-effective in this form factor.
I don’t personally see the appeal in a widescreen clamshell, since you get so much empty space in the middle. But if it’s your thing, this will probably be a great option.
It at least fixes a common complaint with the RP5, which is the position of the thumbsticks.
I don't see the point of this when there's this, which includes a bottom screen. It seems like a major missed opportunity.
It also just got cancelled. https://liliputing.com/ayaneo-flip-clamshell-handheld-gaming-pc-discontinued-before-all-orders-had-shipped/
