A refreshed version of the Deck has just been announced. What are your thoughts? I guess I'm quite disappointed they didn't really upgrade the performance

This is the refresh I was looking for. I didn't really care for more oomph, I care more about thermals and battery so this is right up my alley. But the question then becomes whether the discounted 1.0 model is appealing versus the refresh starting at $549. Good chance I'll swing OLED but we will see.

Update: So much for 2-hours-ago-me, ordered a refurb pre-refresh model.

Don't blame you. The draw of the steam deck has always been price to power ratio for me.

That’s exactly what I ended up doing. The prices on the refurbished models were too good to pass up
