Because on the most expensive Steam Deck the screen has anti glare. Anti glare screens have somewhat reduced sharpness. That in itself isn’t a problem until you start thinking about a screen protector. Not getting one? Then no issue.
But if you want to protect the screen you start getting in this wierd place with no good choices. A regular screen protector will mess up the anti glare and you get the reduced sharpness on top. And if you get an anti glare screen protector you now have X2 reduced sharpness.
Better going with the mid range Deck, get better inbuilt storage compared to the base version which somewhat matters when you start tweaking the Deck. And now you can buy any screen protector. No headache. On the Deck you can also dedicate disk space into virtual ram which is great. Not so great on my 64gb Deck tho. I would’ve wanted a 256gb one for that reason alone and now I’m on the fence about buying a 1tb ssd and start opening it up. I wouldn’t have bothered if I had a 256gb model.
Very interesting. To be honest, I was thinking of buying the 512 GB one, because I’ve been loving matte screen protectors ever since I found out they sell them.
I would probably skip screen protectors altogether if the display wasn’t touch enabled, but since it is my hands are tied…
What about “faster” vs “fastest” storage though? How much of a difference does it make? Please keep in mind I would not feel incredibly comfortable opening it up, at least not until the warranty is valid (and even then I wouldn’t really trust myself)

Go for it. It’s incredible. Get the middle one. Anti glare doesn’t make sense built in. Get a screen protector for that.
Why it doesn’t make sense ? I hesitate to buy one too.

I’ve only seen and read tests. Speeds are barely noticable, if at all, from what I’ve been able to understand.
256 internal with a 512 micro sd should be enough foe most of us.
Thank you for those explanation, I ordered the 256go.
