I do not own a steam deck currently, but because I saw the increase in battery life and OLED screen, I kind of want to buy one now. If you were me, would you buy it now or wait for a full brand new model? I am going to buy one eventually because I can’t stand the path Windows is going down, but should it be now or later?

    You may just want to wait for the SD2. And when it’s out just wait for the SD2 Oled version, and when that one is out wait for the SD3…

    The Steam Deck is brilliant and the OLED model is even better. It’ll be most likely a couple of years before a true next-gen.

    It is not, however, without its limitations. There are newer games that don’t run well on it, and with devs focusing more on the current-gen consoles, we’re definitely going to see more such games in future. Some of the competitors do a bit better in this regard, but they all have their own sets of trade-offs.

    So you’re going to need to evaluate what exactly you want from a handheld, why you waited this long, and how much longer you’re happy to wait.

    FWIW,I loved mine for the time I had it, and I will be ordering the OLED day one (stocks permitting). The only reason I don’t still have my original Deck is because I sold it to help finance the upgrade.

    You can wait but it won’t be until 2025 or most likely 2026 at the earliest for a major refresh.
