I’ve been selling some stuff in order to break-even when buying a SD, and that same week they announce the OLED. It’s unfortunate that the base model for the OLED is €569,-. I would have loved it if there was a 256GB, for maybe a €100,- cheaper so I can afford it better and also later upgrade if I would want to.
This is the only reason why I’m still debating whether or not to buy a cheap LCD model, I mean it’s still the steam deck, just not OLED.
Do you guys think they should’ve gone with a cheaper base model?
If you are going to use it as a desktop, as I am, the upgrades are very meh. Then you are already using an external screen which makes the OLED meaningless. Add to that that you are plugged in to a power outlet, which makes a bigger battery a moot point.
But if you intend to play hanheld, OLED all the way.
agree, OG LCD is great for anyone wanting to pick up a cheap ‘docked’ mini-pc, just pair with your fav display tech. while still being able to be super portable.
I never bought my steam deck with playing handheld as a priority, I just wanted a computer I could pack in a backpack and take some where else to plug into. being able to play around with a game handheld in a few specific scenarios is just a bonus
