On the other hand, depending on one supplier is risky.

“Valve has been clear it wants to build a Steam Deck 2 — and equally clear that a faster handheld wouldn’t arrive soon. Now, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais tells The Verge and CNBC that it could be late 2025 or beyond before it raises that bar — because it wants to see a leap in performance without a significant hit to battery life.”

Though this version is a bit faster than the previous one, it should be pretty clear that this is not SteamDeck 2, as /u/dreamWeaver82 said.

Except it bugs out sometimes; it comes and cannot be removed.

I’ve found reboot to be helpful in those cases, but apparently sometimes it doesn’t help either; there are tricks one can find from the net (or perhaps under this post…) to resolve it in that case.
