    I love my steam deck so much. When a second green comes out, I’ll probably pick it up on day 1.

    I know don’t get things on day 1, but I live in a third world country and we get everything delayed, so it’s not really day one.

      bought my gen 1 a bit after they came out.

      ordered my gen 2 OLED day they announced.

      This generation is a great product. They might fall down in the future but for now, the team deck is an amazing product

          Yeah I had a freind borrowing my non-oled one and I felt like he would enjoy keeping it, so I just kicked it down and splurged on the OLED.

          Its a pretty big improvement. The screen is kinda wow, the audio is great, the power is solid. 3x battery life? Its a real improvement on something that was already great.

            Battery life isn’t too important to me as I only play at home, so chargers are basically everywhere.

            But I’m sure the screen is a big improvement. But I’ll get it when the next steamdeck comes out,

              one thing I will say about the cable on both, is that it should be an angled connector like it is on the dock. it stands proud and is annoying if you playing laying down like I do before bed

                You mean the usb-c cable?

                I just use whatever is laying around. It doesn’t bother me.

      I ordered mine like 2 days after they announced it, and I haven’t regretted it at all. I almost never preorder things, but the Steam Deck just scratched every itch I had (handheld PC gaming, reasonable price, Linux, repairability).

      I’ll probably pick up the SD 2 pretty early at well. It’s such a great experience and they’ve earned my trust with both launch quality and follow up improvements.

          I was only okay with it because it wasn’t really a preorder. A refundable deposit to get in line didn’t feel the same, since I ended up with a good chunk of time to check reviews before deciding to commit my money, and I got the device a few days after paying.
