LCD left, OLED LE right. OLED now has a ribbon cable attached to SSD shield. Be careful.
I am guessing this has been posted before but a few new / extra pictures never hurts. Received my OLED LE today and did a swap of the SSD from my LCD to the OLED. I just bought the LCD two months ago. A few observations/notes:
- OLED now has torx screws. All the screws holding on the outer shell are now the same size. On LCD the 4 corner screws were longer. Even the internals use torx screws now as well.
- There is a ribbon cable attached to the SSD shield now. You need to unplug it carefully to open the shield and remove/swap the SSD.
- OLED installed an update on first boot. The SSD swap from my old LCD was a success and it fired right up with everything installed etc.
- The matte/anti-glare screen is actually really nice. I bought screen protectors but may go without. The concerns about the anti-glare screen were blown way out of proportion.
- The new OLED model feels much lighter in the hand.
- The new, slightly larger thumb sticks on the OLED make a big difference. Feel much better than the LCD sticks.
- I really like the clear shell and orange accents on the LE. I wasn’t sure I’d love it, but it’s done nicely.
- Not sure what is different with the power button, but I feel it works better on the OLED. On my LCD I found myself always pressing it and not sure if it was going to turn on / off or not.
That’s all for now. Loving the upgrade! My 10 year old son is happy too, since he gets the LCD model.
Makes sense. I was going to do the same but I’ve broken one of those clips in the past and I couldn’t remember exactly how to open it. 😅
