New OLED screen. New APU. And lots of small hardware improvements.

Just when the competition in the handheld space was ramping up, Valve comes back to dunk on them again.

It’s pretty awesome that they also cut the price on the old model. The $400 LCD version now comes with a 256gb NVME SSD rather than the slow eMMC it came with.

    It does have a bigger battery, or do you mean more of an upgrade than it is. I’m going to upgrade because I want the OLED.

      Yeah I meant more of an upgrade. It’s mostly the lower end of the battery life specrtrum that I’m left wanting more currently, and going from 2hr to 2.5hr isn’t enticing enough for me right now. I also want to get a desktop in the next year or so, so I’ll put my money there for now.

      Enjoy the new device when it comes! It’s clearly an amazing upgrade all-around.
