Yeah sorry, didn't intend to discourage anyone from the deal - it's great hardware at an incredible price. If you're indifferent on the screen or it's not applicable to your use, you know who you are and should jump on it. If you can't reasonably swing the dollars for OLED, you should also jump on it.

I still wouldn't recommend LCD over the OLED, it's undeniably the better configuration for handheld gaming.

Oh no need to apologize, I too very much prefer the OLED for my own most common use cases...

... but yeah, just wanted to point out that if you maybe want a pretty rock solid mobile gaming device ma bob that is also a laptop when you plug K+M into it, maybe also your existing desktop mon if you have one...

$320 bucks is a fucking steal, if you are maybe, price concscious, in these uh, economic collapse times, yeah, dont go for the premium model, black out your windows and play under the bedsheet like the good ole days rofl!
