Yes I get that it kind of sucks having just bought one and then a new one gets announced but some people are in a panic now. Your Deck is not obsolete. It is still the best handheld pc you can buy right now. Enjoy it.

    I’m selling my 512GB, received in August 2022.

    Yes the value is around 350 EUR, but the upgrade will be what, 170 EUR? Seems palatable.

    I find the LCD is good in indoor, controlled lighting, but the brightness lets it down outdoors - this is 50% more SDR brightness.

    I wouldn’t advocate buying a new one without some way of recouping the costs from sale of the original.

      Ah, so you’re not going for the etched glass OLED version? Might just be the kind of thing that you would want outdoors, right?

        On reflection, I’d likely get 320 EUR not 350 - ehhhh, thinking about it.

        I’d go for the glossy - can use a screen protector and it can be a matte protector if needed. 600 nits of SDR brightness vs 400 should bring a sizeable jump in usability.

        I’m still weighing this up in my head though, since the deck OG is great - just that OLED is so nice to look at.
