Dear fellow SD users,

A trivial, point-blank question. Are you going to upgrade?

As I have the (former) top-of-the-line and non-modded model, I wonder if the improvements of the OLED version justify the price. I believe they do, especially in the long run. What’s your take? Will you hold on what you have or bite the bullet?

Thanks for your replies :)

    I own a steam deck 512GB and personally, i won’t upgrade to it as the incremental changes that have been made are not enough for me. I not only use it for gaming but also for various productivity and media consumption tasks.

    I do think that a better screen and battery are good things, but the only things that would make me upgrade would be

    1. EGPU support
    2. More RAM (at least 32 GB) for a lot of browser tabs.

    If the above is accomplished, then the Steam Deck would replace every windows device I own for gaming, productivity, and business, and this multi-tool like functionality in a handy form factor, with an open source OS is what attracted me to the steam deck in the first place. It is the only device that justifies buying accessories like a lapdock for example IMHO.
