[Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck? (sopuli.xyz)

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?

I would say a APU with some RT Cores, and maybe 1080p. If not 720p OlED will be fine. I know this is likely to compete with the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion both of which have 1080p screens

The APU thats in the deck already has "RT cores". At least, inasmuch as any RDNA2+ device has them.

Though I really doubt this is an updated deck, and much more likely to be "Deckard".
