If you are somewhat tech savvy I recommend the 64GB model paired with a 512GB or 1TB micro SD card. You can always upgrade the internal SSD if necessary. The issue with the 64GB is shaders must be stored on internal drive, not SD card, so between the OS and shaders the drive fills up fast.
If you don't feel like messing with opening the deck up, go for the 256GB model paired with a 1TB micro SD card.
The 512GB model only worth it for anti glare screen if you feel like you'll be playing it often outside.
Some must have programs for deck:
Decky loader - plugin manager for themes, power tools, and much more
EmuDeck- old school games emulation
Steam Rom Manager - adds your emulation game to steam, categorized by system with full game box and cover art
I also highly recommended a 45w power bank, the decks biggest weakness is battery life, you'll want a battery pack for travel
Be aware not all games run out of the box. Some require tweaking or custom proton versions to run properly.
ProtonDB.com lists game compatibility for all games and is a great resource, it's also a plug-in for decky

I am waiting for a response back but I do have a Credit Card that will also refund the difference.
Appreciate your reply (or anyone's feedback) in advance!
Game compatibility has come a long way in Linux, most games work without any issue.
Only one of my games, Just Cause 2, was listed as unverified by valve but I was able to get it working flawlessly by following instructions on protonDB, which required downloading a piece of software called protonqt and installing a custom proton version. It's easier then it sounds.
Most current gen games run solidly at least 30fps, but some will absolutely annihilate the battery.
The deck has a very simple performance overlay that lets you change settings such as refresh rate, fps lock, brightness, and power consumption on the fly to make attaining peak performance simple.
I have not used any alternative storefronts but I believe heroic loader works with them.
I've found myself playing more puzzle games then I would have in the past. I've been picking up games from fanatical.com bundles for cheap and have found some real gems. To list a few examples:
-INSIDE
- The Swapper
-Limbo
-The Fall
- Baba is you
- The last campfire
I still can't get over the size of it, and the small 7" screen (to body) with 720p. I also know for this price, you cannot beat it (anything with a nicer screen or smaller form factor is 2 to 3 times the price).
For me, even though it runs great and is a great value, I don't think I'd really be using it much. If I'm home, I'll be on my PS5, or Switch if I need a portable (or Retroid Pocket 3+ if I need retro).

That said, keep doing your thing and play games however you want. The most important part is playing and having fun!

If the 64gb version is purchased and you install the hdd to a larger one, let's say the same day the unit arrives. Would you need to back anything up such as OS?
Thank you in advance.
