    Damn I’m still on the edge. My wife got herself a legion go (I know some people don’t like it for many reasons, but I find it awesome), and now I’m really thinking about a steam deck, but don’t want to buy it if they’re going to make a new one soon…

      Valve won’t be anytime soon (valvetime)

      Though other OEMs will (and maybe have SteamOS soon).

      I will say that the Steam Deck is well crafted - if all the games you’d like to play are compatible with the specs, I’d just recommend it based on all the previous support it’s received.

      Didn’t they say there will be many years before a new hardware revision of the deck? I had been in the fence about getting one too and got a white one when it came. I’m very happy with it.

        Yeah, they’ve said they want a generational leap in power without affecting battery life. Also, Valve makes money from people buying games on Steam, Lenovo is a hardware manufacturer that makes money from people buying their hardware, so they’re going to release a new model every year or so.
