Lovely! I am considering buying one for a while now. I think I’ll wait for the first end user reviews, but given that there is a whole Linux desktop behind it, it might double as a PC for school for my kids.

wasted_in_time,

Would this be the equivalent of having the current years cellphone and then the next years cellphone is in production?

No

EveningPancakes,

Of course they announce this the week I intend on opening mine up and upgrading to a 2tb drive. Was going to dual boot Windows so I could get Gamepass games natively running on it. The screen update gives me pause though. I really love the OLED screen on my Switch, and the LCD on the Steam Deck has been one of my biggest gripes about the system.

DharkStare,

How is it getting better battery life? Are OLEDs more energy efficient or does it have a bigger battery?

LemmyFeed,

Bigger battery. From 40mah to 50mah.

Aside from the bigger battery, the APU got a die shrink (7nm to 6nm). With the same performance target it directly translates to better efficiency.

Bigger battery> 6nm processor (less energy)> OLEDs more energy efficient> Better cooling (new bigger quiet fan)> Faster wifi 6 — from 30% to 60% more battery life (variable)

Apparently “highly limited quantities” is about the Limited Edition model and not all of the OLED models.

DavLemmyHav,

I am praying that they do trade ins and i can get an oled without having to buy a whole new one

Kbobabob,

Why wouldn’t it just be a direct replacement for the old one? Is it a different size? If they sell replacement screens it should just drop in.

LemmyFeed,

The OLED is larger in size so I doubt it’s a direct replacement.

Kbobabob,

I just saw that. Bummer

Dhs92,

Larger in screen space but the actual screen itself should be the same size. Seems like they just shrank the bezels

From a couple of videos on YT seems the exact size, the skins, boxes and covers should be fine with the new model too.

Magrath,

I think it’s just a smaller bezel.

It’s a completely different device, read the specs.

theonyltruemupf,

I don’t think that’s gonna be possible, they slightly revised the whole board layout. Maybe if you’re lucky.

averyminya,

By trade-ins I think they mean exchange. We all love the repairability but I don’t think this person was wanting to manually install the upgrades.

big_slap,

this is my thought as well. im considering just selling mine to a friend for a good pricr so they can get in on the fun too
