I just wish the refurbs weren’t sold out!
Might call around to your local GameStop's and see if they have any in stock. I think they dropped the requirement to be a GameStop pro member(or whatever it's called) to buy one there.
I just wish it was even an option in my country. If I’m a little ahead on bills this month, I think I’ll pick up the base model.
I’ll just add a ssd for canabalize my 2016 MacBook Pro for the ssd. Im pretty sure it’s compatible.
Until then, I’ll use my 512microsd card.
Even if your MacBook Pro has a removable SSD, it's probably too long for a Steam Deck. You need it to be in the 2230 form factor
The 2016 MacBook Pro does not use the standard size ssd. I’ll double check, but Im pretty sure it’s the correct size.
Nice! Always happy to be wrong about bad news
