They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down

From the creator

Sponsor: Lexar Thor DDR5 RAM on Amazon https://geni.us/AuxUm9 The new Valve Steam Deck OLED didn't just change the screen: Almost every part of the device has had some sort of revision, from the screws to the power topology of the motherboard. Some of these changes happened silently in the Voyager platform refresh for the Steam Deck, but the majority of large changes are brand new. Memory underwent relocation and now uses better modules, the cooling solution has had its fan flipped and thickened, and the controller component PCBs have had some consolidation and durability improvements. In this tear-down of the new Steam Deck OLED, we'll compare the new Steam Deck vs. the original, old Steam Deck "LCD" model. Our full review with battery life, thermals, and acoustics will come later.
