Yes, I've seen that one. I don't like it, specifically because of the smaller screen area and format.

I just want the exact screen of the Deck, but OLED.

I have one coming, I don't think the area is that much smaller. The screen resolution being non native 720 bugs most people.

I'm excited because I just bought a broken-screen steam deck, so even with the high-ish cost ($130 ish for the etched version), I'll still come out at the end with a premium deck experience for less than base model deck 🤷‍♂️

there's one supposedly in production but its 16:9 and iirc the display area is smaller. I don't think anyone has received them yet.

This is a logical fallacy.

Do i need an industrial level fruit juicer, to get a glass from two oranges at home? No. Does that mean no one needs an industrial juicer, period? No.

My main machine has had 32gb of ram for the last decade, even if you exclude developer workflows. Most of my peers are getting as much too. Whether we want it or not, hardware demands are increasing, as software capabilities are going up too.

And that’s not even accounting for that the Deck has shared memory, which limits it even further

Actually I disagree. Using a Steam Deck docked in desktop mode I was able to run out of memory by playing Minecraft while having one browser tab open (YouTube) and Discord.

I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the SteamDeck's 16GB of LPDDR5 is both VRAM and system memory and the Steam Deck dynamically allocates it based on need.

And that's before we even consider doing something wacky like using the Steam Deck for Dev work or 3D modeling or other more "normal computer" uses.

What is this relentless defence of ram deprived systems and their greedy makers

Plenty of games require over 16gb when playing modded. Rimworld and cities skylines are two.

Words from a man who has never played modded Minecraft ⤴️

This is very cool that is possible. However, is such an involved process that I am sure I won't be doing... And I am not planning on getting a soldering station for this.
