  • I have a 9560, and I’ve personally replaced the ssd, ram, battery (multiple times, both sizes), ac jack, and wireless adapter, plus redid the thermal paste, this all in the 5 or 6 years that I’ve had it. It’s pretty easy to work on, you just need a Phillips and a few sizes of torx. The official service manual is a huge resource there.

    My L15 Thinkpad looks comparable too, though I’ve only done the ram it’s also just a matter of removing some screws.

    As someone who loved the idea of the original steam controller but found it uncomfortable to hold, the steam deck really does feel stellar in the hand. Most similar to an Xbox controller imo. So I for one am stoked that valve just deleted the screen for the new controller here



  • It definitely seems to me like they’re trying a similar strategy to Microsoft’s Surface line or Google’s Pixel line where the main goal isn’t really to outcompete directly, but rather to influence the market by a) proving that the platform is viable and b) providing a blueprint/setting expectations for third-party manufacturers considering getting in on it. I swear I remember valve saying they were open to licensing steam os to third party devices (granted, I dunno if anyone’s taken them up on it), and they obviously want as many people on steam as they can pull off.
