Damn.

I want one, but on the other hand I already have the “original” variant. But FOMO kicks in really hard right now.

I can afford it and the chances are really nice, but I won't buy the new version. There will be a Steam Deck 2 in 2-4 years with substantially better hardware and until then, the LCD version will do just fine.

You're most likely right. I'm not going to watch any reviews and low-key forget it exists.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I just wait for the Deckard... I hope this will be a thing, especially when seeing the SteamVR Beta, it got closer to the steam deck

[–] Arkham@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this is what I'm thinking as well. I got one during the summer sale this year; these improvements are nice but not worth trying to upgrade so soon.

[–] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

What does the market look like for used steam decks? Maybe that can subsidize the upgrade cost

Now is the time.

I'll try to buy the Deck, but i'm under the impression that the stocks will vaporize in seconds the first day. We'll see.

I want it but I don‘t know if I can justify buying this when i already have the original. Would be nice if it were possible to get just the screen and replace my Deck’s LCD.

Nope, confirmed different mobo.
