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
- EGPU support
- 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.
Posted this elsewhere and I’ll post it here too.
