Honestly, I'm glad they aren't in a rush to constantly release slightly improved models, unlike phone manufacturers for example. Wait a few years and make the upgrade count.

    Exactly, and having a consistent platform target for developers for longer means - like a console - game development can be targeted and optimized, so players likely get better game experiences compared to yearly upgrades even if the hardware is technically better.

    I would like to see an alternative model/lineup tho. With the new Proton on ARM approach it would make sense to ship a model that runs on a solid ARM SoC with a similar 20-25W TDP as the base Deck model, maybe with a proper 1080p/1200p display in tow.
