I’ve never owned a gaming pc, I’ve always just tried to run games on my regular laptop. Steam deck introduces me to PC gaming.

The waiter seems like the most secure, and doesn’t touch the screen.

Depends on what you are looking for. LCD ones are selling dirt cheap in some places. I personally went with the base 64gb LCD model as I got a good deal on it.

The battery only really matters if you play for long sessions and can’t charge it. For me, I play on one hour bursts normally. So I can get about two or three in before charging. I have a power bank so even if I’m traveling it should be good.

I don’t own either versions and I would be happy with either one. I like that both options are available, there’s a cheaper version and improved version. My friend who owns an OG Deck (obviously) doesn’t want to upgrade, he is happy with it.

I wish people could just be grateful for what they have. Just because there’s an objectively improved version doesn’t mean the OG Deck is worthless.
