Refresh features include: OLED HDR 90 hz Better battery life (50wh vs 40wh) Cooler Lighter Even better performance, even though not advertised by Valve! (because of the better DDR memory 6400mt/s vs 55000mt/s) Bigger screen

Digital Foundry review:
Just watched the Digital Foundry review, unprompted by this post. Sounds like it’s a dramatically better screen, and marginally better in every other feature. Better battery, better performance, cooler temps, lighter weight, better storage…this might be the time to jump on the Steam Deck train.
Based on my experience of the current Deck I’d say it’s not for everyone, but for my use-case it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. If you’ve got a large backlog of PC games you’ve built up over the years, you’re OK with a little bit of tinkering to get some of them working, and you want to play them curled up on the sofa, then this is definitely the device for you!
Yeah man,jump right in. The waters even nicer than when it came out two years ago!
Way nicer from I’ve been told. I am fortunate that literally every game, including some obscure one from freaking 1998 just works. Some Reddit posts from years past hint it definitely had teething issues at first. Early adopter tax I guess.
Oh yeah, I got super excited when it was announced so I preordred the mid tier. Each month after its released it felt like it was getting better with the games I was playing. Considering my life w a newborn this system quickly eclipsed my gaming pc due to the sheer convenience.
