@Dictator can't wait for the Digital Foundry video on it, I am sure DF is already hard at work!
Questions I like to be answered:
1. How long is battery life when running decently demanding games like Forza, Halo, Doom Eternal etc at 540p using 30 FPS cap, medium/low settings and lowest power mode Steam Deck offers?
2. Of course, Raytracing. Can it run Control, Doom, Metro Enhanced Edition for example at 30 FPS at 540p, low/medium settings with atleast 1 RT effect enabled? And if so, how is battery life? How does it do in REALLY demanding titles like Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk 2077, maybe even with 1 RT effect on?
Oh I am already so excited!

Hi all,
Hope everyone’s doing well – 10 days and counting until launch day! We have some exciting news to share. If you watched our Take a look inside Steam Deck video (aka the “please don’t do this” video), you may remember we said certain Steam Deck replacement parts would be available for purchase.
Today, we’re announcing that
iFixit
will be one of the authorized sellers of Steam Deck replacement parts – as well as replacement parts for the Valve Index VR products. We are still hammering out the details, and will be sharing more info on this soon.
And in case you missed it, don’t forget to check out iFixit’s teardown of Steam Deck just posted today.

Well that's a great move on Steam's part! 
Upscale any game using Fidelity FX on steam deck.
Ghost runner 1h08m battery life 25w native resolution 1280x800 . 985x616 Fidelity FX 1h30m
Control 720p native 1h31m 24.1w . 540p 2h21m 15.6w with global fsr .
I do hope AMD comes out with some machine learning upscaling.
The Steam Deck most likely lacks any acceleration for it. DF covered this in their latest Direct. The next switch might.
I thought van gogh had computer vision and other hardware in it. I wonder if that can be repurposed
Hate quoting my own post but finally able to watch the video.
The screen is really easy to replace perhaps some one will come out with an oled screen

Wasnt much to find there but yeah, maybe van gogh (dutch painter like vermeer lol) could have some 8custom) hardware added. A machine like the steam deck would need it. Time will tell.
WE will see what comes of it lol. Although the fsr looks decent from 540p and up to native res
