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

Agreed. I love how moddable and repairable the Steam deck is.

I would like it to beasier though. I hope that one modular laptop takes off enough to become a widespread thing.

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?

[–] Zimmy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have the 512gb model, so I just got that version.

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.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
