I doubt this is news to anyone here, but always good to see positive coverage of the Deck

As someone who ordered the 64GB version, they never should have sold that thing. The entire thing gets filled with shader cache so fast. Not to mention any software you actually want to run on the device like EmuDeck, Chryoutils, Heroic Launcher, etc. etc.

That was my concern at first, but I figured it can be upgraded easily enough.

I used to do computer repair, so I’m not worried about doing to upgrade.

If it would just default this stuff to the SD card, I’d be able to hold out for much longer.

You can move it but it is not recommended. Plus having to constantly micromanage what is or goes where is tedious.
