In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don't know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won't be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an upgraded Deck like a better screen, etc. What would you like to see in a partial hardware upgrade?

Things I don't need:

  • OLED

  • Smaller bezels

  • 1080p

  • More advanced controller buttons (DS5 triggers)

Things I want, in priority order:

  • Higher efficiency everything (mostly SoC) for better performance, lower battery drain or both

  • FreeSync

  • Bigger battery

  • Two M2 slots

Two M2 slots isnt something Id even thought of, either that or 2280 form factor support would be great

Just switching to 2280 would be enough and would take the same physical volume as a pair of 2230s.

On the bottom, for better/easier docking.

Battery life / capacity would be great upgrade.
