So I should probably wait to get one of these?

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Yes. It is already awesome. It just get better.

Old one is still solid (and now discounted) but this offers some nice, mid-generation upgrades. If you already have one, or want one at a discount, stick with the old model, otherwise this is a nice upgrade for basically the same price.

Oh shiiiiit. This makes me so happy for the Steamdeck line and Valve

Well crap I just got mine.... Should have know that last sale was too good to be true.

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's still a great device, this one is an incremental improvement on a 2 year old device

I have had mine since launch and this refresh is making me considering upgrading.
