Since they want to support a console like experience, a clear compatibility indication is important. Releasing new models with different performance characteristics every two years would make that compatibility discovery PC-like, not console like. So bad from that perspective. > I also can't find anything referencing their "explicit" performance requirements. Valve has been explicit about not improving the performance, e.g. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23884863/valve-steam-deck-2-refresh-upgrade-cpu-2025 https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23884863/valve-steam-deck... They said as much already in 2022, but those articles are a bit hard to find now with all news being about the new model.
