That's why I like my steam deck so much: the design is so thoughtful and adapted to its own needs, and unfortunately that's a rare sight lately (not just in technology).

Would've probably turned out different if Valve was beholden to shareholders and the never-ending hunger for a higher stock price. The push to drive "shareholder value" is one of the most destructive forces if not the most destructive force we're dealing with these days.

Yeah… I’ve been thinking about popping for one for a while now. I should probably just go for it.

Out of curiosity, is the etched AR glass on the top end model actually worth it, or is that more of a gimmick?

I bought the LCD without and later switched to oled with. Honestly. I barely notice it. Go for the cheapest oled option. That is a change you will notice, unlike the the etching.

Just to add on to what others have already said, you can get an anti-reflective screen protector to accomplish the same task. If you think you'll be playing in environments with a lot of light, then I'd spring for it.

You can get a screen protector that has the same effect.
