My new Steam Deck.
An excellent choice. Which model did you opt for?
Heck you could upgrade the screen later if you are feeling daring enough!

Hmm, did not know this. That is definitely a bit more work. But that is cool.
If you have someone with the etched screen around, go have a look at it before you embark on this adventure, I was very disappointed in the matte-ness of the screen.
What is a bit easier and relatively easy is to upgrade the ssd https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989
Have fun with your deck!
The most wallet-friendly choice is getting the 64gb model and a SD card or a bigger 2230 SSD.
