Got the email a few mins ago and it’s already sold out. I doubt the interest was that much, did anyone here snag one?

Deck performance is already maxed. I'd hate to try and crush the extra pixels, on top of the fact that you have to swap the screens and flash the bios.

Point well taken about the dangers of swapping the screen and flashing the BIOS. But performance being maxed is super relative. I stream to my steam deck regularly, and there are multiple games that I play that run on max settings with ease that I really wouldn't mind the extra pixels on.

Beauty of the Steam Deck is choice afterall.

I absolutely agree with your point about streaming, as I do the same thing.
