Honestly, I’ve considered it and I’ve decided that the answer is no. It’s truly not worth it imo. Even if I was to sell my deck, I would still have to pay almost another 350 CAD just for a gen refresh. Plays all the same games, no performance increase etc etc… I could do so much more with that money.
My steam deck works great. It is mainly an indie and rom machine. Yeah, I play it handheld a lot but if I need to be thrilled by visuals then I’ll play AAA games on my tv and XBox.
There are certain things that are pretty appealing, the faster charging and longer battery in particular. Is it worth spending THAT much money just to have the new shiny thing? Nope. Not at all.
