Given the price of everything, it’s hard to be excited about this. I’ll probably stick with what I have and get used hardware if I’m hard-pressed to get something more.
If a Steam Deck 2 costs more than 1000 euro/usd, I'm not interested. The original Steam Deck was interesting to me because it was cheaper than a gaming PC.
That's my secret hope, since they already have the Frame on ARM. This would make the release of a separate ARM based Steam OS more likely and my tablet will be very thankful for that.
I’ve been using the ARM version on Rocknix and it’s amazing. The power efficiency while maintaining graphic quality is really surprising. I sure hope SteamDeck 2 is ARM. I’d be a little surprised if not.

I don't see it happening before the AI bubble pops, and after it pops we'll all be too busy scavenging to play games. 😉

ARM processor instead of x86?

There is already an arm version of the steam client you can download right now.

I'm talking about the Steam OS, not the Steam client.

It would also give an edge to linux-based handhelds compared with windows ones.
