As an Australian, I’m not expecting a Steam Deck at all.

If you can deal with the issues of grey import, it's trivially easy to get one here now. I got a 64gb from Kogan, and since I'm rolling the dice with warranty - did a 1tb SSD upgrade myself.

Definitely happy with my purchase it's an awesome machine

Putting in your own 1TB SSD is so easy I wouldn't even worry about the whole warranty thing. Just follow along with a YouTube video and you're done in 10 minutes.

It sure is! The only two things I mention for people thinking of doing it:

  1. Eject the micro SD card first!
  2. Get a decent small screwdriver and be careful with the screws as they have a bit of thread lock on them and I found it was pretty easy to strip. Nearly had one do that for me which was a bit stressful.

But other than that it's a piece of cake and plenty of guides getting the os on the new drive.
