Steam Deck V2 with AirJet Technology

[HenriqueCarioca]

Steam Deck 2 (version 2) could use AirJet technology to replace the cooling fan, as shown in these videos:

This new technology looks very interesting to make the cooling system smaller, and less noisy! this system may be more expensive, but according to the device's developers the price is not prohibitive, according to them it would even be competitive!
The question of durability also seems viable, but it would have to be studied by Valve itself !

Other Suggestions:

Valve could focus on increasingly cheaper devices, but that maintain the same cpu and memory specifications as the original steam deck! And provide SteamOS to other hardware manufacturers for more expensive models, models with an Oled screen or with more powerful hardware

Having a really good game coming as a gift with the hardware of a new version of a Steam Deck (something like Half Life 3) would blow up the internet! being sold normally on PC!

This new version (Steam Deck V2) as mentioned above could be cheaper than the current one, something like 350 dollars, and could have these modifications to make it cheaper:

SSD embedded directly on the motherboard, and expansion only by memory card!

The size of the analog sticks could also decrease, being able to be close to the size of the same ones on the Switch (if it is comfortable)

Analog Sticks and Touchpads could be closer to the LCD screen if the screen has a type of notch only on the black edges, if this did not affect the price of the screen! (as in the image below)

And with that it would also be possible to hide the black border of the Steam Deck screen behind the Steam Deck V2 casing

The processor could come with a smaller lithography (newer generation), but would have the same graphics power (teraflops), consequently would consume less energy and produce less heat and could even be cheaper since the graphics power would be the same.
( also taking into account that the price of semiconductors is falling and that a new version of Steam Deck would take at least 2 years to be released )

Placing the AMD processor in the central area of the Steam deck 2 (place where users do not touch the game and therefore does not affect gameplay) this part could be thicker like the back sides of the steam deck (place where users hold the console), and with that it is possible to have a larger copper dissipation bar and the airjet placed on top of the processor, thus having a much more efficient cooling system! ( I illustrated this idea in the image: https://i.ibb.co/1XpSvQx/Steam-Deck-v2.jpg )

I rather have a Cryorig C7 Cu on the back.

it looks pretty big to me for a handheld console
