I doubt this is news to anyone here, but always good to see positive coverage of the Deck

I’ve replaced the screen and the fan. Both were pretty simple. I did fuck up with the screen replacement (didn’t reconnect the audio jack I think?), but you can disassemble and reassemble the whole thing pretty quickly. And the ifixit guides are really good.
What screen did you upgrade to?
I have the 512gb model, so I just got that version.
I would like it to beasier though. I hope that one modular laptop takes off enough to become a widespread thing.
Agreed. I love how moddable and repairable the Steam deck is.
I love that not only are the upgrades relatively easy, it is also easy to get the parts through an official shop (and not some unknown eBay sellers).
I just got mine last week and have been playing it non stop. I had so many games that I wanted to play, but hate playing on a desktop since it’s more enjoyable to play when I’m with my wife and her switch or as she watches tv.
Such a big backlog.
I got the 64gb version and plan to upgrade the ssd at some point.
Upgrading the SSD is very easy, hope you enjoy your new deck!
I upgraded mine before I ever even turned it on. Now I just wish I’d gone with the 1tb instead of 512gb. I did get a hub, that allows me to connect external drive enclosures. A recent update just enabled auto-mounting external drives, which is nice.
I checked and the 1tb is only about $30 more than 512, so I think I’ll go that route so I can just dump things without any consideration.
Right now I’m using a 256sd card and mostly playing roms, and a few oldish games so nothing too large in size.
Good call, have fun buddy.
