I bought the 64 GB model and then picked up a 1 TB Sabrent Gen 4 SSD to install into it.
Pretty straight forward! The Steam Deck is repairable and there are a ton of iFixit guides.
The only things I didn't really like were:
- Unhooking plastic clips on the case - I dislike this generally since I'm always afraid of breaking a clip
- Disconnecting the battery was a PAIN. Everything is pretty compact - it took a long time to get it out.
- Flashing the OS requires you to have a good internet connection - it won't tell you if it can't connect, it'll just say it's trying to connect. Just press B, re-select a network, and move into a better spot.
- During the flashing OS process the buttons won't work. They work after everything is done installing.
