Update 2.0 for fundamentally changed a lot of the hacking mechanics, making the cyberdecks in the game have even more distinct effects. Though this makes it harder to rank them, as what is best is often determined by individual playstyles, each model of cyberdeck offers unique strengths. V has a wide variety of choices, but some of the decks still stand out as being superior to others regardless.
Cyberdecks in are what V uses to perform hacks in the game. Three main stats are typically listed – RAM, Slots, and Buffer – with bigger numbers always being preferred for all three. RAM refers to how many hacks V can do before having to recharge, Slots are how many quickhacks can be loaded, and Buffer Size is an indicator of how many inputs V is allowed in the Breach Protocol mini-game.
Many Cyberdecks have different quality levels under the same name, purchased from different locations. For this list, only the best of each type is listed.
The Militech Paraline is the cyberdeck that V starts with in and can be upgraded to Tier 5++ with some patience and eddies. It is not anything extremely flashy, yet when upgraded to max stats it can be a powerful deck. It is not good for stealth, but for run-and-gun players, this cyberdeck is a good one because of the extra damage buffs.

In addition to the above stats, the Militech Paraline MK.4 can add +10% damage to quickhacks and +2% Monowire damage per used RAM unit up to +30%. If V uploads a quickhack to an enemy, shooting them with a smart weapon will accelerate the upload speed. Finally, if Overclock is active, any smart weapons and Monowire will give additional electrical damage equal to 60% of the normal attack damage.
The BioDyne MK.2 is only a Rare quality level, but it is a good deck to have early in the game. It only costs 10,000 eddies, and it has more benefits than any of the comparably-priced cyberdecks that V would be able to get early on.

In, the BioDyne MK.2 will give V the ability to perform quickhacks on targets and devices while scanning them and increases RAM recovery rate by three units/60 seconds.
The Stephenson Tech MK.4 has a handy legendary effect of reducing quickhack upload time by up to 25%. This is in addition to allowing V to perform quickhacks on targets and devices while scanning them.

With this deck, quickhack cooldown is reduced by 45% and any combat quickhacks will last 50% longer. Essentially, with all of these boosts, V can quickly perform hacks before anyone knows they are there.
Although it's only listed as Epic rather than Legendary, the BiotechΣ MK.4 is useful enough to be listed above a couple of the Legendaries as far as rank. With the changes in Update 2.0
