To be honest, for graphically intensive games, there isn’t that much battery life left to sacrifice :)
What are they going to do? Reduce my 2 hours of Kingdom Come Deliverance to 1 hour?
But still, I respect the hell out of their decision to only update the hardware if the performance is significantly improved.

It’s refreshing to see someone that understands their customers. I often experience buyer’s remorse with even products I like and have thoroughly researched and use often. Never once have I felt like I wasted money on the SD, and it just feels like it constantly gets better.

Agreed. Even though the SD OLED addresses all the customer feedback from the LCD version, both devices are still on equal footing when it comes to SteamOS. They didn’t abandon the previous generation, they improved on it by making it a more capable device. When someone asks me which one to buy, I always tell them to decide based on the money they’re willing to spend on it. Yes, the OLED is better in terms of specs, but that doesn’t make the LCD a bad console.

The OLED update also helped create a secondary market of cheaper/refurbished units, it was a pretty good decision

Good to know Valve realize most people just want to use the device they have without upgrading every year just to create E-waste.
