Ok so I know obviously this sub is in full support of the steam deck, but that’s why I’m asking.

I currently have a Switch OLED but am really considering adding a steam deck to my collection. Or even selling my Switch Oled and getting a Switch Lite + Steam Deck. What would you say are the major advantages to having a steam deck, as someone coming from a Switch? Do you think it’s worth it to have both?

Also, is it necessary to buy the new OLED Steam Deck or would the regular one work well enough? I know newer is better, but the old ones have a price drop. So I’m curious if the old ones are bad or will not be supported soon?

Thanks all!

    Cloud sync, ease of use, ability to be a comp, massive catalog. I don’t use my switch anymore tbh.

    The Steam Deck OLED is just a refresh, both models will still get updates ofc, even if they didn’t its just a PC you can do what you want with it.
