I have a current Steam Deck and briefly considered the OLED, I got an OLED switch and OLED is really nice but at that price why not just spend the same to a little more and get a much more powerful handheld that doesn’t have the same restrictions as using a Steam Deck, such as many games and a lot of the most popular online games not working at all due to the anti-cheat? With the other handhelds you can install steam and run any game that you can run on windows without worry (unless KBM is required then can’t run in handheld mode) as well as easily install other launchers if needed.

Am I missing something that makes this the wrong thought process? Is there something about the other handhelds that although much higher stats and performance that makes them a lesser choice over the Steam Deck?

    I’m getting one but for me it’s going to be a big change anyway because I got the 64gb model which I am selling. I’ll probably get the 1TB model and it’s not just the screen they’ve changed which now has a 90 hz refresh rate. It’s a complete refresh. Better chip, better cooling system and quieter fan, bigger battery, faster charging time, Wifi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Haptics are better too and so is the sound. The trackpad is way more accurate. Look just go into YouTube and look it up. Many YouTubers have their hands on one and are reviewing it.
