I ordered mine like 2 days after they announced it, and I haven’t regretted it at all. I almost never preorder things, but the Steam Deck just scratched every itch I had (handheld PC gaming, reasonable price, Linux, repairability).
I’ll probably pick up the SD 2 pretty early as well. It’s such a great experience and they’ve earned my trust with both launch quality and follow up improvements.
I was only okay with it because it wasn’t really a preorder. A refundable deposit to get in line didn’t feel the same, since I ended up with a good chunk of time to check reviews before deciding to commit my money, and I got the device a few days after paying.
I love my steam deck so much. When a second green comes out, I’ll probably pick it up on day 1.
I know don’t get things on day 1, but I live in a third world country and we get everything delayed, so it’s not really day one.

Isn’t the OLED more of a gen1.5? It’s mostly a screen upgrade
Yeah the oled is like a mid generation refresh.

I’d say more like a 1.7. Virtually everything was improved.
I got the no -oled like a month before th announced it. But I I’ll wait for a bigger upgrade before buying a new one.

Battery life isn’t too important to me as I only play at home, so chargers are basically everywhere.
But I’m sure the screen is a big improvement. But I’ll get it when the next steamdeck comes out,

You mean the usb-c cable?
I just use whatever is laying around. It doesn’t bother me.

Same here, I was in on the preorder, and I’ve been burned too many times to want to do that normally

That’s fair
