I finally received the SuiPlay @SuiPlay. I noticed that almost no one on the推上 is discussing this device in detail. As the SUI hype declines, everyone's expectations for @PLAYTR0N and @SuiNetwork have also decreased. After fiddling with it for several days and thoroughly exploring the official dc, here are some simple points:
1. This device is essentially a button replacement version of the AYANEO 2S, with the buttons replaced by SUI blue, and the AYA button in the lower right corner changed to a SUI button. Everything else is exactly the same as the original.
2. The machine runs a Linux system developed by Playtron based on Fedora Silverblue, similar to SteamOS. By default, it only has a game interface, with no browser. You can log into Steam, Epic, GOG accounts, but overall it feels very awkward. A few points:
- Cannot purchase any games on the device, not even free ones. You have to buy on other devices and then refresh on Suiplay.
- Since it integrates multiple gaming platforms, there is no good game recommendation page. Besides playing games from your library, almost nothing else can be done.
- The homepage shows no SUI ecosystem games. Apart from pressing the SUI button to access the wallet and transfer funds, there are no other “Crypto” features.
3. The first system update on startup is extremely slow, regardless of VPN usage. It might be a system characteristic, requiring the full system installation package to be downloaded? (to be confirmed). It might be easier to download the system installation package directly from the official website and reflash via USB.
4. Installing Windows has a big pitfall. Initially, I didn't pay attention to the details in the tutorial shared in the official dc. I installed Win11 directly and found it couldn't boot into the system. Many methods failed until I discovered that the tutorial said to first install Win10, then upgrade to Win11 using Windows' built-in upgrade tool (if you also own a SuiPlay, I hope this helps you).
5. The BIOS is different from the original AYANEO, so AYANEO's supporting tools can't be used. Flashing AYANEO's BIOS might solve this, but I was too lazy to do it.
That's all for now. I no longer have high expectations for this device. I also found that the official doesn't seem to plan any SUI ecosystem airdrops or benefits anymore. Perhaps they have already given up halfway.
