After briefly offering a transparent Steam Deck OLED last year, Valve has
announced its next limited edition variant featuring a bold new color:
"white." It'll cost you $679 when it's available on November 18, and it
features the exact same hardware as the 1TB Steam Deck OLED. (Most
importantly, it sports that gorgeous 7.4-inch display with HDR and a 90Hz
refresh rate). There's also a white carrying case, naturally. While the
perils of white console hardware are hard to ignore (especially for a hefty
portable that'll surely trap plenty of hand grease), this new variant may
convince early Steam Deck owners to make the jump.

As we covered in our review, the Steam Deck OLED's display looks
significantly bolder than the original LCD models, especially with the
addition of HDR support. This time around, Valve says it's also shipping the
limited edition white model worldwide where Steam Decks are already available
(including Australia).

"We're curious to see what the response is, and will use what we learn to
inform future decisions about any potential new color variants down the
line," Valve said in an e-mail. "We've always said our intent is to
continually work on improving Steam Deck, and that's true from both a
software perspective (continuing to ship improvements) and a hardware one
(Steam Deck OLED, as well as ongoing work toward the future of Steam Deck and
other hardware plans)."
