I've been using my OLED a lot more than my original, I think mainly because it's just significantly lighter. It's been a bit but even now I pick it up and still am surprised.
And that definitely makes it feel more accessible for playing on the go. I brought my original Deck out and about but it wasn't always comfortable and I often used the case as a prop stand, the OLED I've yet to even consider using the case to rest the device on.
Everything else, the battery life, performance, it makes a difference too, but man. I've been most surprised by its weight.
That's surprising to me, too. I never had an OG Deck to compare, but on paper it's such a small difference I wouldn't have expected it to feel significant.
I tested mine briefly when it arrived before putting it away for Christmas and I was impressed with its responsiveness and screen. I'm looking forward to putting a lot of hours on it. (Well, a lot for me. Life is busy with kids!)
