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

Only thing I don’t see is a second USB-C connector, but heck they even fixed it so the screws go into metal instead of plastic!
The upside of not changing the I/O is accessory compatibility.
True, though adding a second port should still allow for most accessories already built around the existing one
Probably? It’s just Linux so it should auto detect the changes. But no idea.
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.
But does that mean different connector? If the ribbon cable is the same you should be able to plug it in, right? And the controller usually sits in the display
The have changed completely the internal hardware.The only hope is either to have some kind of adapter or a completely different compatible monitor in future.
