I made this exact mistake when the Switch OLED came out. I got caught up in hype, I bought the new one, and slowly it dawned on me that I just spent 300 extra dollars for exactly the same machine I already had, and a screen that, as good as it was, was NOT worth that 300 dollars.
If you don’t own a Steam deck, then go nuts! Do what you want.
If you already own a Steam Deck, you already own everything you actually wanted a Steam deck for. An OLED screen is not going to make the games you already play somehow magically better. You’re fine. Chill out
Something you and others don’t understand why I want the new OLED. I want the same experience but I need a better screen and better battery life. This is something I’ve wanted since day one and this OLED model does everything I want it to with no compromise. I’m paying for exactly what I want, assuming all the reviews and coverage hasn’t been lying about the products features.
