I wonder if the plastic on a refurbished Deck would be less likely to creak after going through the refurbishment process, making this a better buy than new…

This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.
