I love my steam deck so much. When a second green comes out, I’ll probably pick it up on day 1.
I know don’t get things on day 1, but I live in a third world country and we get everything delayed, so it’s not really day one.
bought my gen 1 a bit after they came out.
ordered my gen 2 OLED day they announced.
This generation is a great product. They might fall down in the future but for now, the team deck is an amazing product
Isn’t the OLED more of a gen1.5? It’s mostly a screen upgrade
Yeah the oled is like a mid generation refresh.
Battery life is much improved. The screen is quite a bit larger, and much crisper. I think the speakers sound better than the one I had before?
I'd say more like a 1.7. Virtually everything was improved.
I got the no -oled like a month before th announced it. But I I’ll wait for a bigger upgrade before buying a new one.

Yeah I had a freind borrowing my non-oled one and I felt like he would enjoy keeping it, so I just kicked it down and splurged on the OLED.
Its a pretty big improvement. The screen is kinda wow, the audio is great, the power is solid. 3x battery life? Its a real improvement on something that was already great.
Battery life isn’t too important to me as I only play at home, so chargers are basically everywhere.
But I’m sure the screen is a big improvement. But I’ll get it when the next steamdeck comes out,
one thing I will say about the cable on both, is that it should be an angled connector like it is on the dock. it stands proud and is annoying if you playing laying down like I do before bed
You mean the usb-c cable?
I just use whatever is laying around. It doesn’t bother me.
I'm just commenting more on it as part of the overall package. It seems like a bit of an iversite in their part
I ordered mine like 2 days after they announced it, and I haven't regretted it at all. I almost never preorder things, but the Steam Deck just scratched every itch I had (handheld PC gaming, reasonable price, Linux, repairability).
I'll probably pick up the SD 2 pretty early as well. It's such a great experience and they've earned my trust with both launch quality and follow up improvements.
Same here, I was in on the preorder, and I've been burned too many times to want to do that normally
I was only okay with it because it wasn't really a preorder. A refundable deposit to get in line didn't feel the same, since I ended up with a good chunk of time to check reviews before deciding to commit my money, and I got the device a few days after paying.
That's fair
