Personally I don’t plan on playing big games like these on the go anyway, so battery life isn’t going to be a problem.
I was thinking of getting a docking station with an m.2 slot for those bigger games to play when I’m home.
Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’

They don’t want to compromise battery in favor of performance and I agree. With smaller games like Hades or cult of the lamb my steam deck battery will last and last. On more demanding games like cyberpunk or Armored Core I get a little over an hour out of it best case scenario.
Beefier graphics hardware will only make that issue worse.

Only waiting for new generations of GPUs and CPUs can help there I guess, those usually push things a lot in a performance per wat comparison!

The battery life is already 5 seconds. No need to make the problem worse.

I so often use mine plugged in as I’m not walking or in a park, I’m on a bus or train which can often have a plug, so not much of an issue there, however I’m not playing high-end games, it’s so good for stuff like Hades and whatnot.
