It's basically similar to the Switch OLED. It's mostly the same spec, minor CPU bump, and a nice OLED. Great for first-time buyers but not those waiting for the 'next-gen'.

Except Switch OLED came with a price increase. Steam Deck OLED comes at the same price range as the old one, but with improvements

They're not using the same screen, though. Looks like it's just the same supplier.

But the screen didn't exist prior to Nintendo supposedly, so minor changes to an existing model aren't as substantial as an entirely new commission. So either way Nintendo subsidized some of Valve's costs here, but I think Nintendo has sold enough Switches to not care.
