Hello, i mainly play on my PC with almost high-end spec, but sometimes i want to play on my bed thats why i want to buy a steam deck, but i cant decide which one to buy, i have the money for the OLED but it exceeds my budget. Which one should i buy? i want to play Dark Souls 1 2 3, Lies of P, Persona 5, and many more AAA games on my steam library that i havent played.

    There isn’t going to be much performance difference, despite the OLED having a better screen and bigger battery/better power efficiency.

    The $530 cost you provided seems close to my calculated cost of a new 64GB unit at $500 (using the $776 as a basis), which is right around what I would consider paying if I wanted to buy a used Steam Deck with a 1TB drive installed, provided it was in good cosmetic and working condition.

    So, if you really wanted a Steam Deck, and you had a limited budget, the upgraded 64GB unit seems like a decent deal. But, depending on your budget, you also have the option of getting something like Backbone/Kishi or other phone holder/controller device and stream from your PC to your phone using moonlight.
