So is it likely for a refresh?

I'd estimate that the refresh cycles are more like consoles (5y) than PCs (1y). But noone really knows.

I suspect it will come somewhere between the two, something like two and a half to three years.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Steam Deck 2 towards the end of next year.

I'm hoping for Deckard first before another Deck.

I would think so. Or maybe it'll have a way of upgrading the motherboard with a new APU

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The deck uses a SOC… putting aside the fact that it directly soldered to the motherboard you can’t replace these components individually. The only possible approach would be an entire motherboard swap.

That's what I meant. Like how Framework is doing it.
