Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming

Is it really? I know there’s some glue holding the battery itself, but otherwise my understanding is that the battery is really easy to access.

iFixit rates it “Difficult” for the Steam Deck OLED and says the time required is 2-3 hours:

It requires removing quite a few parts but the most annoying part is getting rid of the adhesive. It doesn’t have easy-to-access pull tabs or whatever.
