My wish list for steam deck 2

6core 12 thread cpu ≈ 3700x performance

gpu close to or around 5700 — 5700xt performance

6 gb of dedicated vram

Overbuilt cooler

about 3,5 hours or better battery life in intense gaming session at ≈ 25w

more ports I want a minimum of 2 usb c 20gb ports (I’d like one of them to be thunderbolt)

same OLED screen or better (maybe 100hz but the resolution doesn’t need to go up)

A togglebel docked mode, that turns on when charging and gaming at the same time, That makes it boost to like 60w. Like when docking the switch. (I also want to be able to turn it on in battery mode, at a greatly reduced battery life.)

bigger more dense battery

space for 2230 2242 and 2260 SSD (and with a clear way to mod in a 2280 size for the madlads)

​

Things I want, but I know is never going to happen.

It being a clamshell with 2 screen or a keyboard or just space for better cooling

having an open source mini pci x16 connector for external gpus and other shenanigans

​

And to address it before someone says it in the comments, I don’t care about the weight it could hit 900 grams and I would not care

    Oh man, you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

    I know it’s been touched on but your battery demands are crazy. 25W (assuming TDP because a current Steam Deck can already hit 25W total draw) = 25W for the chip plus ~8W for the SSD, wireless, speakers, chipset and display (and that’s being generous) = 33W total draw minimum.

    33W for 3.5hrs = 115Wh. The maximum battery size you’re allowed to take on an airplane is 99Wh so now you have a Steam Deck you’re not allowed to fly with. Bzzzt! Try again!
