@s31bz expect that you can't really upgrade anything about the Steam Deck, apart from the internal m2 drive. The battery replacement is pure hell and once you need a more powerful device you'll have no easy replacement of the main PCB. What a garbage article.

@boilingsteamInstead of being over-critical of popular publications, I say we should celebrate the fact that the Steam Deck and it's better repairability/moddability have gone mainstream.

@s31bz The point is that it's hardly better. Look at the battery replacement process and cry.

@boilingsteamIt's far more repairable than any handheld game console currently available, minus the battery.
