I'd say I'd like deck 2 to have a clamshell design, thankfully others have already made it.

Arkham Knight. Pleasantly surprised with how it runs.
>Getting this year
More fucking games verified before Q3.
>Deck 2
First of all, it should be split into two models. One high end $800 model with better specs for enthusiasts, and a $300 model with the same specs as the current deck but slimmer, lighter and without touchpads or the back buttons (Think Switch Lite but a similar grip as the current Deck.) Both should have bezelless mini-led displays that are vrr capable. Better thermals, less fan noise, and more base storage. Enthusiast deck comes with a 1tb ssd, Deck Lite comes with 256gb. I know Valve saw the paypig money push through for the reservations, but I think they'll see the cheapest model win out in the long term especially since replacing the drive is cheap and easy.
>clamshell
Into the trash it goes. You'll never see more competitive UMPCs like the $840 OneXPlayer mini with that kind of design.

do you seriously need to post this in every deck thread? you're autistic and no one likes you.

>arkham knight
nice, this is my current backlog for the deck based on known info
>two models
i'm not sure how successful that would be, i suspect the fact that the economies of scale favor how little variance there is between the current offerings. i'd certainly have paid more for a more performant device to be sure though.

no it's not
if most people want to expand the base model storage they'll use SD cards not try to change out the drive

I got the big one because of the screen

i'm not sure we will get a 'smaller' steamdeck honestly. the issue with batteries of current year are form factor/size more than anything. the newest iphone isn't going to magically get 5 more hours unless they switch off of lithium tech somehow.
the battery can certainly be improved on the steamdeck to be sure though. like i don't know how they managed to skimp on it so much considering the GPD win3 gets like 2x more
Grayson Brown
I meant the hard drive size - the 512 model comes with an etched glass screen, and I plan on using mine outside

My 512gb comes tomorrow. Thinking of selling it on eBay and buying back in a couple months. What do you guys think?
Logan Ward
If I order today, does my wait time vary depending on which type I order? Gabe says the high end Deck is selling surprisingly well, which means there may be supply shortages for that version specifically.
Blake Cox
Considering that a second model would come out in 2025 the earliest, a $300 a cooler, smaller Deck would not only be possible but maybe even profitable at that point. Only issue is they'd probably keep the crappy back buttons to justify the shape even if they would probably be positioned worse. I don't know where you're getting those battery life stats for the Win3, LTT showed that the Deck beats even the Win Max. I think they could at least keep the same battery life for a smaller Deck, whereas VR support and a larger battery would be additional selling points for the high end version.
>>no it's not
It literally is tho unless you're a consolefag. Hell even the PS5 forces normies to unscrew the SSD holder.
Josiah Wilson
my estimate is 2026 for deck 2, unless they decide to do the whole TV box thing at one point but i really can't see that happening since then it becomes an actual competitor with devices like the xbox series S which is really not even close to the same kind of experience.
Jason Ross
Not worth the trouble dealing with eBay for a couple of hundred bucks, don't do it if you have a regular job, if you're a wagie and every dollar is needed go for it.
Ayden Perry
been following deckshit since day 0 and honestly you're better off waiting to at least Q2/Q3 anyway. still lots of little finnicky software and UI issues that are being ironed out, compatability etc. etc.
i can understand the excitement of having a device that can play all these AAA games and emulate whatever right now but it will still be there in several months time
Ayden Bennett
Wait? If I wait then I'll have to wait until 2023 for a Deck. The waiting list already stretches past Q2.
Adam Brown
It's not a couple hundred bucks. It could be 3x getting a profit of $1500.
I don't need the money but I might be too busy to play right now anyways. Only thing is that I don't want to get scammed from some buyer trying to stick it to scalpers.
Michael Miller
nah hang in there, shit is ramping up in the 'hundreds of thousands' starting in april. even if that's only 200,000 a month i do not doubt a single person who is ordering today would not get one before the end of the year, probably october at the latest (worst case scenario)
Michael Thomas
these things aren't really the most accurate but it should at least give you some idea of what the queue is like
