posts like this make me realize our community is split. We need to make an r/LCDSteamDeck sub and an r/OLEDSteamDeck sub. It’s clear we can’t co-exist and I wish you OLEDers would leave us alone.

that makes me wonder if it would be worth it to buy steam decks for 200 - 300 throw in a 1TB card and resell it for more. When I upgraded to 1TB the prices were a lot higher and now you can get them for around $50

The colors in the LSD version are vibrant enough for me

What they forgot to mention is the LE was set up to reproduce the RMA experience of batch 1 Steam Decks. It’s painless and builds trust in Valve.

I wonder if they started using something like this.

it sounds like the deck has a lot of what you’d like. If you can, you should try getting one while you have the Ally then see which one you keep after a month or two. Just sell the other. It just sounds like something you should have your own opinion about (since you care about mobile gaming) and I don’t see a better way of doing that than trying both at the same time.

Can we get mods to delete all the Steam Deck pics people posted until now? We need to make some room for the OLED pics.

are you in the Tampa FL area? there’s a repair shop in Holiday I highly recommend. He swapped a drive on a laptop I didn’t want to do it on for $75 (and cloned the original drive).

check with local pc repair shops. One might clone and swap the drive for a reasonable price

check the ifixit guide to see if it’s something you can put back in yourself. Now might be a good time to decide you want a set of custom buttons for whatever reason (example: https://www.amazon.com/eXtremeRate-Replacement-Trackpad-Triggers-Handheld/dp/B0C9CZZ8H4?th=1). Until you fix it I’d just game using an xbox controller.
