Unlike the switch that I easily forked out another $300 for the OLED model, the Deck was an investment for me; I can’t justify the expense. Looks like I’ll be stuck with my current deck and will use vibrantDeck to pump up the color saturation.
At first I wasn’t sure what to do but I put my deck up for sale a couple of days ago and ended up selling it yesterday, so OLED for me!
same, hope there won’t be big queue.
Yes I wait for the first real use reviews but I definitely will buy the Oled and sell the LCD.
I really hope that the case is the same size.
Regardless Of The Side Of The Argument, You Gotta Tip Ur Hat Towards Valve For Revamping The Entire Motherboard, I Give Them Cheers To Redesigning The Board, Cause The Configuration I Am Wondering Makes A HUGE Difference In Cooling The Device Down.
The capitals on each word melts my brain 🫠
That aside, I completely agree. Almost everything got a refresh. It may not be the most powerful handheld but it is the most supportive.
You May Be The First To Ever Actually Be Respectful Enough To Place A Respectful Comment Against The Way I Type Without Childishly Giving Me A Thumbs Down Out Of Rebellion To Enforce A Dictatorship. That To The Side, I Appreciate That, One Step Towards The Community Accepting That Everyone Is Different And Never The Same.
With Everything Accepted And Sided, I Will Have To Respectfully Disagree, And Say The Steam Deck, Is The Most Powerful In My Opinion, Because It Has Valve Steam Support. And In My Books Is A Win-Win For People That Used Linux For Years Before Valve Support Like SteamOS, Bc Valve Is A HUGE Voice Speaking For Linux That Doesn’t Have A Voice, And Let’s Not Forget, How Many Games Now Work Under Linux Thanks To The Community And Valve Working Together With The People’s Voices To Enhance The Productivity Of Software And Hardware That’s Not Microsoft Windows. 😎😉
Well even though it makes it harder to read your comments it doesn’t actually affect the content of your speech. I just have to re-read it to fully process it. I’m sure if I was exposed to it more often I wouldn’t have much difficulty with it. For me personally I prefer to build people up than tear them down. Even the most selfish person benefits more from collaboration in my personal opinion.
I hope people can learn to be more respectful. You are free to do as you choose. Well done on not bending because of peer pressure to write a certain way.
I’ll clarify, what I mean by powerful is performance while running games. Other handhelds (Aya Neo, RoG Ally, Legion Go) are able to achieve higher frame rates and play more demanding titles.
But for me I still prefer the SD over the rest due to all the reasons you have just listed. I can see the other handhelds being forgotten and gathering dust while Valve and the community are further refining the software and hardware to make the SD a better experience. Over its life the SD has changed dramatically. Reviews are constantly becoming outdated due to the software updates and verification program.
They are leading by example and I hope the rest of the PC handheld industry takes note.
What would you like to see in the next revision/generation for the SD?
I’m Flabbergasted By Your Friendliness, You Don’t Come Across Well Mannered, Matured Type Of Folks Like You, You Are A Diamond In The Ruff My Friend, And Truly If I Had A Beer. I Share A Beer With Ya! You Are Good People, We Need More Good Folk Like U In This World To Spread Your Cheerfulness And Kindness Around To Stop So Much Hatred.
That Said, I’m A Simple Folk, What I Am Wanting In The Next Generation In The Steam Deck Is Plain And Simple, A Newer APU That Has The Next Generation Of Graphical Processing Unit, With At Least 24Gigs Of GDDR. So We Can Finally Max Games Out On The Steam Deck Like Red Dead Redemption 2. 😎. We Had A Similar Issue With Radeon On Desktop Not Too Long Ago, Until They Listened And Released Those Next Flavors Of Higher GRAM, Higher GPU Can Only Get U So Far Until You Run Out Of Physical GRAM. 😁 And I’d Love To See Bigger Support For Valves Anti-Cheat Steam Deck, And SteamOS Support Older Video Codecs, And Better Compatibility Within The OS To Run Certain Games Like Fallen Earth, Entropia Universe, Scum Etc. For Example. And Lets Not Forget The Next Generation Needs The 2TB SSD Pre-Installed. Alongside Text Revision So Its Easier To See Smaller Text On The Game Screens. Without Straining Ur Eyes. 😂
I’m good with my deck. The only way I would upgrade is if Valve comes out with a SteamDeck iteration that has a significantly better CPU and graphics processor with an added port for an eGPU to boost performance and visual fidelity when docked.
I’m over here just happy the deck exists and is successful at all. I can wait for the sequel.
Worst part is realizing I just lost 200 free gbs because I couldn’t wait a month💔
It’s not the OLED for me it’s the 90Hz refresh rate. Once FSR 3 drops properly I would like to see what frame generation at base 45fps up to 90 looks like on this new screen. It might be useless or it might not. I don’t know how much of a difference input latency would be between base 45frames vs 60.
I really want to stop seeing this memes now
I just sold mine old 64GB deck, owned for year. Waiting 😋 to get 1TB OLED
I’m so glad that they didn’t update the cpu or I’d be slamming my refresh key waiting for the pre-order lol.
The new features are awesome but not quite enough to push me into buying a second Deck.Why everyone is bitching around the deck having the Legion Go on the corner? Like that it’s really an upgrade and not the 10-20% gain of the deck oled…
Bout to open up r/steamdeckoled on y’all heads just to flex
Classic stupidity like the people that buy the newest iPhone every year.
