      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.

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

        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.

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

    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.

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

      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)

      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.

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

    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.
