Just bought my Deck this year and with Valve not offering any sort of trade-in program or self-upgrade kits at the moment, I figure a lot of owners are also asking themselves the same thing. I know that the Steam Deck 2 will eventually come at some point and my current one works perfectly fine, but the OLED screen, wifi chip, and better battery are REALLY enticing to me. Battery life especially because that is one of my biggest hangups with the first generation models.
Anyone else on the fence too?
It’s really up to you. Yes it’s a lot of money for a small upgrade, but if you have the cash in hand just go for it.
Personally I might upgrade because I use my Steam Deck a lot, so I know I’ll be using the OLED one as well making my investment worthwhile.
Where I’m very careful is with new gadgets that might end up in a drawer after a month.
