And current LCD ones have dropped in price.
LCD version of the 64gb is now 280 for a refurbished one.
https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamdeckrefurbished/

The updates are mainly visually (OLED) and bigger battery and more efficient CPU.

I bought mine used, so not like I can return it. Oh well

Thats cool to see, but Ill still hold out until theres a true 2.0 model. I cant for the life of me understand how the button/dpad/stick layout is remotely comfortable for hands like mine.

Still waiting for Switch Pro Elite 5000. But tbh it felt like a PSP/Vita and seemed like an incredible piece of tech thats wasn't going to go obsolete *shrugs* but I didn't need it.

Also can the steam deck run custom firmware? Ya know because I really want a 3rd party clock application.

I already got one a year ago. But I'd be tempted to upgrade if it was a true Steam Deck 2. It's probably gonna be a at least a couple more years before that happens though

Supposedly though, there already is a more powerful competitor called Rog Ally. People say it has better specs than Steam Deck.

Did you just order it, or have you received it? It might be possible to get a refund due to this news, Ive heard Valve can be nice about that sort of thing.

got mine a couple months ago and i've played so much it's been worth the extra i paid considering a price drop. but it also doesn't really look like this is a 'new version' and doesn't look like it's worth the upgrade. i'll definitely wait for the newer model instead.

Sadly, I got tired of refreshing the valve site waiting for the refurbished to get in stock, and I bought a used one off someone. So can't really return it.

Actually got delivered like an hour ago.

Steam going all 5D Chess on ya'll. TBH I remember refunding Witcher 3 because my computer couldn't run but there are stories of ppl refunding a game at 2 hours and 59 minutes just to screw over a developer on a cheap game? I think it was Firewatch. You bought the damn game and played a lot of it what were you expecting?

They just wanted to test drive the game as long as possible. Haha

That looks like a fairly substantial update.

That's basically 90% of the way to a Steam Deck 2.

Why not just bump the CPU to a 7840U or Z1 at that point?

Raises the costs too much and also betrays how they technically said that type of upgrade was years away.

Apparently reviewers are finding a 5%-7% performance boost in games. This matters since for some games that could mean the difference between reaching 30 FPS/60 FPS and missing it.

Early adopters always get the shaft, just don't bother buying anything in the first 2 years smh.

I also share the pain, got one last month and since they aren't really available in my country I had to get it from someone else lol.

I'm super happy with my unit though, I'll continue coping that way and just get the eventual Steam Deck 2 a couple of years from now.

Yeah it does.

First & foremost, I'm happy my steam deck can play most my backlog games.

If i had extra cash, i would get the limited edition and dock my steam deck for good. Then use the limited edition for my mobile gaming. Maybe set it up my steam dock space/place for the games i have installed on it...

Corps suck most times but sometimes they will just give you free if you don't abuse the system. That's a fun story.
