With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

I love my Steam Deck, as any regular reader will know. It's my favourite gaming device but it could always be better right? And with competition hot (hi Nintendo), I hope Valve have more plans.

Nintendo hardware will never overcome the steam deck in terms of raw performance in the next 10 years. Just look at the Switch, its hardware was already 6 years or so out of date when it released. 😀

I have and love my original Steam Deck. I’m so tempted to get the OLED model, but the thought of a Steam Deck 2 coming out soon weighs on me. Couldn’t happen, right?

I think the Deck 2 should use an ARM CPU instead of an x86 one. They're smaller, more efficient, and offer significantly better battery life.

@ultrasquid arm to x86 translation just isn't there yet, would be business suicide tbh for a device like this

Thing is: bringing the performance up can quickly be evened out by also bringing the resolution up.

I am not sure what resolution is necessary for a really good experience on such a small device, but I am sure there's a golden balance to find somewhere in there.
