Took me a while to warm up to the action button but now I love it. Got it hooked up to a shortcut script and it’s way more versatile than the old slider without losing any of the functionality.

I’ll admit it doesn’t feel that much faster than my 11. I didn’t really feel like the processor on the old phone was holding me back but the cameras are a nice improvement.

I plan to take the 2TB SSD out of my SD and move it to the OLED SD then put the original SSD back in the LCD before giving it to my brother in law. No setup needed.

Yeah. Self tapping screws into plastic bosses are fine for a consumer electronics device where you don’t expect people to open it up but if it’s a device where you can reasonably expect people to open it up to service it (like say, a computer) you really should use machine screws into metal bosses.

Oh man, you need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

I know it’s been touched on but your battery demands are crazy. 25W (assuming TDP because a current Steam Deck can already hit 25W total draw) = 25W for the chip plus ~8W for the SSD, wireless, speakers, chipset and display (and that’s being generous) = 33W total draw minimum.

33W for 3.5hrs = 115Wh. The maximum battery size you’re allowed to take on an airplane is 99Wh so now you have a Steam Deck you’re not allowed to fly with. Bzzzt! Try again!
