Its more than just OLED too. People are probably going to be pissed that this came out of the blue if they recently bought a Steam Deck.

The other little change that makes QoL much better is the longer cable on the charger. 2.5m cable vs 1.5m. I don't sit near my outlets and I don't want to bother with an extension cord.

Yet an Ally is only $50 more and much more powerful with 120hz. It already has a good LCD screen whereas the Deck had an inexcusably terrible one

No issue, the nvme's gonna heat up like anything given the size of the deck, cooling looks pretty weak
