If you missed your chance to save over $100 on a Steam Deck OLED, Valve’s refurbished handheld models are currently back in stock, but only while supplies last. The refurbished 1TB model The OLED Steam Deck is available for $519 ($130 less than the up-to-date model), however refurbished 512 GB the model is available for $439 ($100 less than up-to-date). This is an basic way to save on the sticker price on your Steam Deck OLED device, but only if you move quickly. Supplies of refurbished models are restricted and there is really no telling when more will be available as each refurbished model goes through the same testing and inspection process as up-to-date models.
The Steam Deck OLED is a significant improvement over the original LCD model. In addition to the slight processor improvement, OLED also comes with a larger battery and a slightly larger OLED display, which is not only more energy competent, but also capable of running at a 90Hz refresh rate.
Although we’ve never checked out the refurbished Steam Deck in person, he claims Valve FAQsThere is no functional difference between a refurbished device and a factory model. Fortunately, refurbished Steam decks come with the same warranty as up-to-date models. If there is ever an issue with your refurbished model that cannot be resolved within one year of purchase, it will be replaced with another refurbished OLED Steam Deck free of charge.
