All I need from Valve is confirmation a Steam Deck 2 will exist - I don't care how many years in the future that is. I just want to know if this is a "let's quickstart the PC handheld market, here, take this as an example and go nuts" versus "this is now a hardware category we are invested in, we will make new units"

I’m so happy to hear this. I’m getting a steam deck next week and have been wired that a faster version would be right around the corner.
The deck is amazing you're gonna love it
Yeah, I’ve been salivating over it for months. But I’m such a cautious spender. I’m not replacing another joycon, and I’m so happy it’s a repairable machine. I’ll upgrade the ssd down the line.
I’m honestly just so psyched.
they'll most likey fix screen and battery issues first along with stick drift.
The next one will be 1080p and I can't see the battery life and cost being right for yeah a couple years.
A faster one won't exist, fine. what about an oled deck?
I wouldn't hold your breath. So far, Valve has only released like, one generation of all of their hardware. But their hardware is pretty decent.
Screen and battery are the top pain points both Griffais and fellow designer Lawrence Yang want to address in a Steam Deck sequel, too, they told me in late 2022.
From the article.
I just want to be able to use a password manager with Steam for online games.

This is good news for my wallet I guess, although it makes me wonder what's up with that "Sephiroth" APU that showed up in the Linux Kernel. I'm so happy with my current Steam Deck that I don't really need another iteration on it right away anyway.
