That may sound weird to you, but my favorite devices are those that grew on me and became special.
Like the Nokia N900, my first Gameboy or my favorite X24/X60 thinkpads. They have served for years and have a place in my heart.
My steam deck became special too as it took this type of special place.
I will not abandon the poor thing to the siren of a lightly upgraded hardware.
We have still great gaming times to live.
Hey I feel the same way I got mine in June and I feel like this is the ultimate machine for playing games. My only gripe is the Bluetooth kinda sucks but that’s no reason to upgrade to the new one.
Also I wonder if you can drop a motherboard from the new one into the old one?
