Both the Steam Deck and official Dock are on sale to celebrate Valve's 20th anniversary.

$160 for the upgrade to the 512G model now seems pretty reasonable... I might just get one

You can buy the Corsair 1TB 2230 for $90 or the Micron 2TB 2230 for $137.

The eMMC is in the m.2 slot. You can just replace it with an NVMe.

It's a fair point, but it's also a hassle that I don't need

Honestly don't see much of a use-case for a Dock, but at the same time.....Kinda tempted. Anyone else used one?

The dock is useful if you either don't have a desktop/laptop system or if the Deck is more powerful than the system you do have.

Or you can use it like a switch and have the option to play on a TV with controller.

I've got all the current gen consoles, but my PC is in the closet whilst I wait for my young children to......move out I guess? I'll give it a miss, or maybe take a look at a third party option.
