The 256GB has an anti glare screen that the others don’t. That’s all I remember off the top of my head though

As they should. Any manufactured product is gonna have duds and infant death failures. Anything that prevents e-waste and provides a lower cost purchase option so they can recoup thr cost of failures is a smart business decision.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The creator of the SteamDB database tweeted Monday about “certified refurbished” Steam Decks in all three storage offerings, and deals maestro Wario64 tweeted screenshots of the listings soon after (via Gizmodo).
That said, we don’t yet know how Valve’s “certified refurbished” Steam Decks might differ from a brand-new device.
If Valve does put these cheaper Steam Decks on sale and you want to buy one, just know that it may have scuffs or imperfections that you wouldn’t find if you bought one new.
Still, if you’re looking for a more affordable way to get a Steam Deck, I’d guess these refurbished units could be a very good deal.
I love my Steam Deck, and if you’re interested at all in getting one, I’d highly recommend it.
It launched in a bit of a rough state, but as my colleague Sean Hollister said at the beginning of this year, it’s ready now.
