Steam OS & Windows AME dual boot = perfection

[HoldMeForever]

I was anticipating your take on the tear-down! I love these videos :D

[bedrockanarchyrealm]

I'll consider taking it apart since I got the 64Gb model and replace it with a 512Gb or 1Tb SSD, but only when I fill up my Micro SD Cards.

[vulcand]

Valve said "Don't do it", I interpreted "Do what you want"

[sandwich]

Valve should definitely release that bracket as a file to be 3D printed.

[aublak]

Deck is one of the most exciting things in gaming happening lately. There is real hype behind it.
I wish VR took off like I hoped it would, but I think that adoption will move slower then I expected.

[Technostatic]

Very well put together just like all of your previous videos. Keep up the good work and congrats on 3k!

[jmbd]

I will not be opening my SD. It must work out of the box without much tinkering for me to play.

Now years later if I feel I need to replace something, I will do it.

[emiliosanchez]

I am buying the expensive version because I am not really a tinkerer. But I am super happy Valve are really showing and not just telling their audience that they want to support this as much as they have!
By the way since you're taking questions I have to ask what games you are most excited to try out first on the deck?

And I really do wonder how many people watching this that have/had a steam controller, link, machine, etc.
I'd be interesting to see a poll as I have two steam controllers which is partly why I am so hyped for just the control scheme itself!

[MacTX]

Will definitely be opening mine and replacing the storage first thing. By the time I get to the front of the queue, the community will have the ideal tear down method figured out.

[IcoKirov]

Since I got the 512 version I'm not gonna open the deck for quite some time unless I need to repair a part.
I knew in such small space the nvme would not be easy to swap, plus I wanted that edged screen. So I went ahead for the high end version.

[pmikkonen]

Big thanks! Your videos are great! Greetings from Finland!

[mason]

I respect you actually reaching out to CD to try and get more information for us, keep these news videos going.

[huskers]

If the screws are anything like the switch joycon controllers, they will be stripped by even the lightest of pressure. I'd recommend buying new screws if you ever open the deck.

[jamesmacleod]

A lot of people could be concerned about trying to use the trackpads for many games. As someone who has use the steam controller a bit, I can totally see how they can be used with no real issue, but it might be an idea to do a vid on how the touchpads on the controller work as that is what the deck will be based on (albeit heavily updated)

[AndreVandal]

I wonder if the shields on the drive are removable to be reused on a replacement drive, hopefully they didn't glues them down, or we will have to wait for a manufacturer to provide similar protected drive for the deck.

[WyvernDotRed]

I'll probably be opening my Deck after about 1-2 years to thoroughly clean and maybe repaste the cooling system, to do the same after 3-4 years along with replacing the battery if I can.
I'm not afraid to open it but won't unless I have reason for it, similarly to my laptop.

[laophis]

Yet another great video. I love how you find and put all the information together nicely in your videos. I keep learning new stuff even though I check steam deck reddit everyday. It's like deep web material XD. Keep up the good work cause I'll be watching all of them for sure.

[morallytainted]

I really have been enjoying the open book nature that Valve has been doing with the Steam Deck and their opening up the Deck video was a great example of this. Telling people that it is their property is so refreshing in the industry. I also can't wait to see the torture test video that we got a glimpse of.

[Love-nmgf]

I’ve never been more glad that I reserved the 512gb version as I’m scared to open it

PS: great video as always 👍🏽
