I’ll get a used LCD one in a few months. Looking foward to it.

Good call. I still have mine from 2022. I payed the 5 bucks to pre-order on the first day. I really just thought I was at least putting money into Linux and showing interest. I wasn't expecting much but, shocked at how good the Steam Deck actually was. Valve really stepped up and turned a decent handheld (that I would still be using today in the state it was released in), into really well done polished device. The LCD is even getting Wake-on-BT in the next Steam OS 3.7 release. I tried the preview, it works great. In a couple years when the Steam Deck 2 releases, if I'm still playing older titles, I'll probably just wait for the first sale to buy. You can't go wrong with a Steam Deck. It'll change the way you play games.

You have any wifi issues? Got mine super early too and the wifi is terrible in a lot of places. I have a wired dock though, so it's not a huge deal for me. Should probably look for a fix... Haha

I've not had any issues with the WIFI. At least nothing that would have bothered me. I've taken the deck with me riding around the U.S. and Mexico for a couple years on my motorcycle. I've definitely connected to a lot of different WIFI's. Everything seems normal.
