Very, very good. Pricing seems okay as well. Glad the specs are the same so games will work on both versions. Saving straight performance upgrades for the next version seems like the right move.
Very interested in upgrading but I can't justify it to my wallet. I love my Steam Deck as is and often use a portable external screen with it anyhow.
Portable external screen? Do tell
Sure! Seems my screen isn't up for sale anymore. This is the closest I could find without diving too deep: https://a.co/d/01D6h52
Portable, built in battery, plug into the deck with USB-C and you even get touch. Chose if the screen should charge the Deck while plugged in or not. Mostly just plug it with hdmi though and play Mario Kart and Kirby with my son. Has Samsung Dex-support so with one of those phones plugged in you get a laptop like experience. Truly a great buy. Can't recommend enough.
Do some research though. Make sure you get a screen with touch and battery to get the most out of the screen (touch isn't good enough to play mobile games but good enough to navigate menus, use YouTube, etc). Stay in the range of 14-16" for it to be portable. And check that your phone is compatible with the screen you buy. Also check the ms so the game experience is good.
Now you can play 4p Mario Kart on mount everest.
If someone finds a good version of this, please post
I bought mine from uPerfect. Excellent quality. I wouldn't look beyond their brand. They are awesome.
