Is upgrading the ssd easy enough that it is worth the cost savings? (sopuli.xyz)

Finally decided I think I am going to get a Steam Deck. Decided to look at upgrading the hard drive, it is a little more compacted than I thought it would be. For those who have swapped, was it easy enough?

Yeah I put a screen protector on mine right away. It's a portable device.

The combination of the etched screen and an etched screen protector definitely hurts the sharpness - I would've been better off with the standard glossy screen.

Yeah, I’m not saying one plan is better than the other, just that it’s something to be aware of when making a choice. My steam deck sees a lot of travel and a lot of use, and I’ve never used a screen protector, because you’re really not supposed to with the matte screen. Haven’t noticed a scratch yet, so it works for me. The only protection I use is the tpu rubberized grip case, I think from spigen. That and the case it came in for travel.
