New OLED screen. New APU. And lots of small hardware improvements.

    Thinking about finally getting one. The 512GB OLED does look very good…

    I also wonder if they’re ever going to have a non-handheld console (essentially a revamped Steam Machine). I’ve heard a bunch about people building PCs and running Holo ISO on there as a console replacement, might make sense to have an official solution from Valve.

      steam deck can already be used as a non-handheld machine.
      and if you actually need one, get a pc.

        There is no PC as capable as the Steam Deck at the same price point.

          You could very easily build a significantly more powerful PC with significantly less money, and indeed others have done so already.

          you can build a more powerful pc for less, i built a machine with new components during the gpu shortage and it’s still faster. (1050ti, 1600af)

      I do not think they will. But they said they will release steamOS for install on your own machine. It just runs Linux, so it should work on most desktop hardware without any problems.
