In the leaked info, we know that Valve has an upcoming device that will use the same APU as the current Steam Deck. We don't know if this will be a new VR headset or a Steam Deck hardware refresh. Even though using the same APU means there won't be a performance increase, there could be various other improvements in an upgraded Deck like a better screen, etc. What would you like to see in a partial hardware upgrade?

Why does it suck? Asking because i wanted to buy a deck and i will definitely use it for streaming.

it doesn't handle 5ghz very well, which leads to insane artifacting and input lag spikes

This is sad to hear. What streaming app do you use? Steam Link or Moonlight? On my Shield TV moonlight is insanely better than steam link

I used xCloud actually. It handled Moonlight/Sunshine moderately well but steam link sucked

Compared to my laptop or phone, when I'm in the furthest spot away from the AP, it will drop out. Other devices stay connected, just slow down

I noticed that yesterday with my deck, I was a bit far away from the AP yesterday and while my phone was connected fine the deck wasn't able to connect at all; it put a pause on me trying to resume AC6 on the deck until I could get it back in range to update.
