There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.

Not to mention that you can buy the previous version for 300 € and get most of the same value (less storage, gpu, screen, battery)

You can also upgrade the storage and screen if you want.

You cannot put an OLED screen in an LCD model.

They have different internals. The screen upgrades that exist for the LCD are to swap in the anti-glare coated version, or a higher resolution.

Ah, I didn't realise that. But I mostly use my Steamdeck docked for gaming on my TV so personally haven't bothered looking into a screen upgrade.

It's probably not worth the effort. It's one of the more complex mods, and the screen with additional resolution comes with a bunch of drawbacks, and the anti-glare coating isn't that big a deal.

Both of those are still upgrades though - they didn't say "upgrade the screen to LED". It's a good callout though!

I bought 512GB OLED and then immediately swapped the SSD to 2 Tb
