OLED burn in isn’t an issue because you can replace the screen inexpensively if it does burn, and I’ve never heard of burn in on an OLED SD. Can keep the screen off anyway because it’s too small to be of use on a desk.

Burn in is a problem on stuff like OLED tvs because your options are to warranty or chuck the tv and get a new one if it burns. Steam deck is repairable.

I recommended my little brother get a steam deck and dock because it was within his budget, a gaming PC was not. He’s had an absolute blast and been able to play every game he’s wanted to. Mouse and keyboard and display work fine.

I love my Steam Deck OLED and would only really consider an upgrade for things that improve the experience or reliability. Being able to run low and medium-graphics games locally and stream everything else from my PC with Remote Play is awesome.

I’d only want things like:

• Hall effect or TMR sticks and triggers
• Better battery life(but honestly it’s already great)
• 1080p, but not at the cost of horsepower or battery
• More CPU and GPU power is never a bad thing but I wouldn’t want it at the cost of battery
• Cooler and quieter(it gets warm and loud on Forza 5, TABS, Helldivers 2, etc)
• Thunderbolt with external GPU support on the dock
• More storage is always a good thing and 2230 SSDs pretty much top out at 2TB
• The Bluetooth is laggy but I dunno, Bluetooth just kinda always sucks

and bloody hell Valve put the god damn xone driver in your SteamOS so I can use my Xbox wireless receiver without installing the driver after every update
