When I clicked on this video, I expected some developer that got a demo version of the steam deck breaking their NDA and doing a tear-down anyways. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the video came directly from Valve. This just makes me even more excited about this product, as I saw nothing but normal fillips head screws, and nothing unnecessarily glued down inside the device.
Sure, it's not the easiest thing to perform maintenance on, but it's at least possible. not only that, the company making it had produced the video going over potential pitfalls and issues that may occur when taking one apart. That's practically unheard of for almost any other gaming devices that have existed in my lifetime. Props to Valve for backing up their 'it's yours, you can do anything you want with it' statements.

Well, I guess I missed that video when it was released, but good on Sony for the same reasons as Valve. The trend of making it possible for end users to repair and maintain their hardware is one I am very much in favor of, so any progress towards that end is good in my book.

Didn't Sony actually have a video of someone servicing a PS5, clearly demonstrating each step of the process?
Yup! A surprisingly lovely and relaxing video at that.

I love that Valve's response to every question about the Deck has consistently been: "It's a PC, so yes."
