The Steam Deck OLED improves the gaming handheld not only with a high-quality OLED display, but also with a modernized Ryzen chip, a larger battery and an improved cooling system. A comparison with the original, both in tests and in a teardown, reveals the advantages in detail.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Steam-Deck-OLED-Tests-and-a-teardown-reveal-advantages-of-6-nm-Ryzen-chip-and-better-cooling-system.767312.0.html
Finally been able to login in after so many tries,anyways always glad to see an update,but at this stage the larger and more powerful Legion Go seems to be making the rounds now.
Am I crazy to actually want Valve to create a Steam laptop? Such great engineering!
Pretty sure I will pick up a Steam Deck OLED. Top of its class in screen quality and battery life.

You might be onto something there. I wonder if one of the major customers for Strix Halo is Valve itself for this purpose?
Valve probably realizes that the future of handhelds is arm but porting games to AArch64 is a huge endeavor, so in the interim, releasing more x86 APU devices to further support their current game store library makes sense.
Interesting. The update does make the Steamdeck more attractive.
HOWEVER, I'd be MORE interested in Steam releasing the OS so as to be loaded on older gaming hardware (Laptop AND desktops) in efforts to save them from a landfill/recycle.
To be honest while I own just about every other type of portable gaming system a iPad mini is about as 'portable' as I actually USE today.
I can think of a handful of laptops with GTX10xx series GPU's that are going EOL soon with MS's OS's.
