    Is the anti-glare screen worth it?

    Does the eMMC version allow installing an NVMe drive?

    The price difference between the 256GB NVMe version and the 512GB version is more than the cost of a 1TB NVMe drive.

    Edit: Ah wait, just realised it’s the stubby 2230 NVMe drives, the ones that are much more rare and like half the length of the long boyes.

    Still, the storage is annoying. The difference betwee PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 is massive, and there’s been another leap with PCIe 5.0.

      You can just buy an aftermarket anti-glare screen. They are cheap.

      You can change the SSD by yourself but you’ll lose waranty. There’s a noticeable speed difference between the eMMC and NVMe versions. There’s no noticeable speed difference between the NVMe versions.

      IMHO if can afford it and have a few technical skills buy the little one and install one of these. You might even want to wrap it in one these (there’s a real leather option too) or these or replace the joysticks with these (can’t get drift and have a much smaller deadzone).

        Any of those said aftermarket screens you could recommend?

        Agree on the NVMe bit, only reason why I took the 256GB intermediate aside from the fact that extra space gave me some breathing room off the bat

        I can snag a better NVMe on sale down the road

        Great tips all round, will be snagging those sticks you shared

    It sure is, because I bought one!

    Wonder what games play the best on it
