MODERATORS
Not saying they will be on sale as they are still very new, but the Steam spring sale is in 4 days, so there is a chance they might be discounted a little. I would recommend buying from Valve, they have very good support.
I'd go for the 512GB OLED, but if screen and battery life isn't a problem for you then the LCD version is still perfectly fine. If you plan on using it a lot though, treat yourself to that OLED ;D
You can put a micro SD card in, a good A2 V30 card will be absolutely fine for it, I have a SanDisk Extreme PRO (~$60 for 512GB) myself in mine, though I don't play heavy games on it. You can also replace the M.2 SSD in the Steam Deck itself if you fancied.
Don't bother with the SD card, just buy an SSD and swap it. I did exactly that and installed 2Tb SSD and I couldn't be happier
Thanks for the tip about the sale. I’ll wait it out. Also, yeah OLED makes sense to me from longevity thinking too. Better battery and better tech…
