    It’s the state of affairs for modern laptops to have everything soldered, but the Steam Deck is big on upgradeability.

    WiFi 6E might’ve caused a problem, but as far as I know, WiFi 6 works on exactly the same frequencies and powers as 5 and 4.

    Also, I’ve run into a surprising number of thin-and-light ultrabooks with soldered RAM but standard PCIe WiFi cards. Ironically, one of the more upgradeable laptops I’ve had (from Clevo) is Intel CNVio v1-only, and guess what Intel conveniently doesn’t make for CNVio v1.
