That pricing seems really good, you can get a refurbished 64 and a 1tb SSD for about the cost of a new 64gb. Seems almost too good to be true.

~~What are you going to do with that SSD? The 64 GB version doesn't have a NVMe slot, it works via a eMMC flash chip soldered to the board.~~

Edit: apparently I was wrong

Nope the emmc is on a card in the m.2 slot. You just remove the 64gb emmc and slot in the 1tb nvme drive. I did it to mine when I got it. I kept the 64gb drive in a portable nvme housing.

I'm not sure about that, it doesn't make sense that valve would have two different board designs for the steam deck & a quick Google search shows many videos walking through the upgrade
