It's a new screen in the same space, screen sent from 7" to 7.4" so the bezel is now thinner as a result. It does look nicer because of this.

not much play time. i think i will wait for deck 2
Nice. Sounds decent then. But I really should just wait for SteamDeck 2. That will be the one to get.
Will see if monkey or the logic side of my brain wins
Wish vavled offered extended warranty to 3 years. Do they offer a repair service outside of warranty, what's the cost like if anyone knows?

Think I'm going to try to plough through the end of TOTK, sell my Switch, and pick one of these up. I've wanted one for a while and the upgrade will tip me over the edge!
A couple of small questions. One of my reasons for upgrading would be to replace my tablet with this when I travel. Does it have a Netflix / Prime Video / Disney + client which you can use to watch stuff offline (whether natively or via Proton)?

Can't see why not? The better question would be, will they still offer an lcd version. They may to hit a lower price point maybe. Or just keep base model OLED as cheap as possible by benefiting from economies of scale and only needing to design one version.

I don't know...but if you go into desktop mode then it is just an Linus OS, last resort would go onto the browser and access each of those via that.

If there isn't issues with stock, why would there be scalpers and bots?
Not even had mine a year so I feel a tad annoyed they are launching an OLED version so soon. I thought they'd said there were going to be no refreshes for quite a while?
I barley use mine so I'm not upgrading, though an HDR OLED screen (on anything!) is a big pull for me.

Shame how they shafted a lot of their customers with an unexpected mid generation update. The thing wouldn't get any use from me but at £309 for the 64gb it seems like a nice bit of kit. Almost £500 for the OLED is losing me a little I'm not sure what market such an expensive thing is aimed at.

Well...the unit doesn't exist in a vacuum, it is cheaper than every other handheld PC on the market with comparable performance and spec, with better software and out of the box UI. It is aimed at people wanting a handheld PC market, and it is the best value one on the market, full stop.
