MODERATORS
The deck has had a decent number of minor hardware revisions. They've improved some of the buttons, added foam strips to the fan to reduce whine, downgraded the SSDs, replaced the heat shield with a brand new design, etc.
Not to mention they've supplied different components through different companies, so you have multiple types of fans and joysticks due to that.
Which is all entirely normal and actually respectable that a company does this over the life of the device. Rather than have some stupid marketing gimmick to have you buy the new one they just improve it under the hood. The alternative is similar to how Nintendo is just keeping the same exact shitty hardware and broken joycons and then marketing the gimmicky OLED edition with different hardware
