Dear fellow SD users,

A trivial, point-blank question. Are you going to upgrade?

As I have the (former) top-of-the-line and non-modded model, I wonder if the improvements of the OLED version justify the price. I believe they do, especially in the long run. What’s your take? Will you hold on what you have or bite the bullet?

Thanks for your replies :)

    I feel that this is actually Steam Deck 2 in all but name. The device has been reworked from the ground up and Steam OS will have updates in future with this in mind (not to say that they won’t continue to target original Steam Deck, but e.g. the 90Hz refresh rate and HDR support opens the door for some flagship features in future Steam OS updates).

    I’m fortunate to have the disposable income for it not to be a big deal for me. My wife plays on my Deck fairly regularly (lol) and my son won’t be too far off the age where I want to start playing with him.

    The increased battery life and improved screen make the upgrade a no brainer for me, especially given the fact that my current 512GB model will get continued use for the next few years.
