Same warranty as new is awesome!

I wonder if these are the same Decks you receive from an RMA.

Sweet deal - if I were in a market for a steam deck, I'd grab a 64GB refurb and slap in a 1TB SSD.

I'd be a little hesitant purely off the basis that the refurbished Decks (that you receive from an RMA) tend to have issues. Even brand new Decks that haven't been used before tend to have issues, too.

I know 5 people with Steam Decks. 3 of them had to send it in for RMA immediately after receiving their brand-new units. Another had to send theirs in shortly before the warranty expired (and the repair center broke an internal shell clip).

I have a q3 512GB and it works fine since it came out of the box.

And now one of those guys has to send in their Steam Deck for a 2nd time, this time for a non-working B button.

Never really considered purchasing one but at these prices is sort of tempting.

I think it's actually really old, right there with AFAIK and IMHO, which is to say LOL and ROFL are newer acronyms.

We got dial-up really early, like 1990.

I read somewhere recently that Lenovo is coming out with something similar but bigger screen and runs windows. But will it be cheaper?

While I don't love the idea of dealing with windows updates constantly on a portable device.... at least it's launcher agnostic for those with decent Epic etc libraries like myself....

Set connection to metered, then put it back to normal every few months for updates .
