Valve created quite the stir among the PC enthusiast community when it announced its new portable gaming system. As expected, questions quickly arose about what components could be swapped or upgraded, such as its SSD. Valve’s product designers have stated in an interview that they will address what can be done to the Steam Deck. From safety concerns to the practicality of taking apart such a small device, there will likely be a number of details that will be gone over.

We’re getting questions about upgradability of components, replacement parts. Like, ‘can I take it apart?’ We’re gonna start answering more of those questions…We’re about to announce all those things, rather, talk about all those things, in a way that hopefully includes all that nuance, so people can understand more fully. – Valve product designer Greg Coomer

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
