The Steam Deck 2 might be significantly faster than its predecessor.

Who in the world thought they would? They already said SD 2 wouldn't happen until it would be a significant upgrade. The OLED version was certainly an upgrade, but to expect them to do small iterations every year is absurd. It's not a cell phone, y'all. Just get one and enjoy it like a console instead of expecting bs "upgrades" every year like Samsung or Apple.

That also doesn't really need annual updates. I'm guessing the only reason phone manufacturers do that is out of fear that otherwise users will go and buy something else from those who do annual updates.
