I'm considering getting one as well. Putting it off until a gifting holiday as they're expensive. Only debating between the cheapest and second cheapest size - I would get a microSD expansion either way but I'm not sure if it's better to have the additional space or not. Odds are I would only have two or three games installed at a time really.
I was thinking of getting the smallest. I know steam says it isn’t user serviceable, but I’m fairly confident I’d be able to swap out the drive if needed
I got the 64GB just recently and with a 512GB SD card I’ve put off upgrading the internal SSD for now.
The swap is really easy for anyone that’s ever tinkered with any pc hardware.
I’d say the 64GB version is absolutely the best choice.
