I’m so happy to hear this. I’m getting a steam deck next week and have been wired that a faster version would be right around the corner.

The deck is amazing you're gonna love it
Yeah, I’ve been salivating over it for months. But I’m such a cautious spender. I’m not replacing another joycon, and I’m so happy it’s a repairable machine. I’ll upgrade the ssd down the line.
I’m honestly just so psyched.
they'll most likey fix screen and battery issues first along with stick drift.
I can't imagine they'd be able to use an off the shelf processor for the next one. The performance at lower wattages on the deck is so much better than current laptop processors or the Z1.
The next one will be 1080p and I can't see the battery life and cost being right for yeah a couple years.
I just want to be able to use a password manager with Steam for online games.

It makes total sense. Just a bit of a bummer when looking at the reality of devs being awful/not caring about optimising their games. The Deck is just barely hanging on with this year's big titles.
Thankfully, there's plenty of older and/or more lightweight options out there.
I'm not sure the Steamdeck was created with the latest AAA games in mind.
BG3 co-op slows my PS5 to a crawl. People gotta be chilling with their expectations of what a £350 handheld can do.
How hard would it be to just melt the i7 or wherever out of there and drop in the i34 or whatever in a few years?
Has anyone gotten jtag or anything yet?
Of fucking course not. They are taking a bath internally on every single one.
