    It's over 200% of the price though, comparing the cheapest options. I payed 320 for a refurbished SD. Cheapest Legion go I could find was 700+.

    Bigger screen and another usb C would be great, agreed, but im gonna ride this Steamdeck all the way to hell if it'll let me .

    The Steam Deck was never supposed to be a powerhouse. It was intended to be extremely high efficiency and long-lasting and to this day no one competes with them on that. Nor do they compete on peripherals or cost effectiveness.

    We won't see another Steam Deck soon, and I think that's a good thing. Gives developers a hardware target for their games.

    the steam deck fits a different market than a lot of PC gamers. they're used to upgrading every 2 years. they're used to obsessing over even the smallest fps or slight performance increase.

    the fact that the steam deck wasn't made for that kind of consumer but is being consumed by them is why we get people crying out for an upgrade constantly.

    they're trying to buy a compact version of their huge desktop gaming rigs. or trying to force a future where Valve releases a new model every year. that (as you said) is not what the steam deck was made for.

    i am also glad that Valve is sticking to this model for as long as they can.

    Yeah, I have no problem running the games I’m interested in and no interest in buying a new handheld if it’s not a steamdeck 2.

    I hardly play newer games anyway, so maybe I’ll just get a new battery for the steamdeck in a few years.
