Steam Deck announced by Valve

You may need new drivers if it's Windows that you want to run. IINM it uses custom AMD silicon, and the IO parts (controller stuff mostly) may not be prepped for Windows. Not to mention power management, where tuned drivers are critical.
Also even though the SSD is replaceable, just how many manufacturers make high capacity units in the M2.2230 size? High density SSD chips are expensive, even if it's QLC.

Highest capacity M2.2230 is 512, so it's better to buy it directly.
Buy the SSD directly or the highest capacity model from Valve?

Yep the exact issue I have. I have a bunch of indies that I never play. This thing will be pretty costly here in India most likely. I've been thinking about just streaming to my iPad from my PC. A lot of those games get ported to iOS/Android but are priced very high compared to Steam. Switch ports prices are another thing altogether.
This is a big step forward for gaming on Linux (even on desktop). Though I personally prefer if it was not an opt-in option and be available universally.
This was confirmed long time ago. Though IMO running Windows on it would be a very bad idea because of the bloat that Windows has.

Yup, considering the hardware, they have certainly optimised steam os for that , windows with bloat like windows defender, updates and telemetry will slow it down.

I would like to interject for a moment,
What you are referring to as Windows, is in fact, Windows/bloat, or as I've recently taken to calling it Windows + bloat. Windows is not an product unto itself, but rather another paid component of a fully functioning M$ system made annoying by the bloat, ads and spyware comprising a full system as defined by Microsoft executives.

Yeah but constantly pausing to explain an obvious thing is too pedantic, I stopped watching and watched the original video. lol

Two points that really stood out for me and I'm sure for many:
1. Its your PC, you have every right to open it up and do what you want.
2. Source for replacement parts, SSDs, Thumbsticks and more in the future.
Taking shots at others and advocating for Right to Repair in a way.
