Would you recommend the LCD model over the OLED model?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 17 points 4 months ago

The OLED model has slightly better performance due to a newer version of the same APU. So it's not just the screen that is better.

That said, I have a very early LCD model I love. The OLED is not a big enough upgrade for me to consider buying it. But if I were buying new I would get an OLED.

The only OLED feature I couldn't go back to missing is the Wake Over Bluetooth functionality that lets you use your controller to bring up the system. Not huge for some, but when you've got a docked setup it's heaps more convenient.

I own the LCD model (bought long before OLED edition existed) and it brings me joy on the train.

Sure it would be nice with a better screen, bigger battery, and slightly lighter device. But it's not something you absolutely need.

Whenever it's worth it for you is a very personal thing that depends highly on what you prioritise and how much money you have.
