Alot of people wrote off the 64 GB model. But now thinking about it more it's actually a bargain. Majority of PC games are designed to run on hardrives, and the speed of an SD card and the internal flash memory is faster than a hardrive. Getting a NVME Steam Deck all it would do is just shave a few seconds off with loading games. So basically a 64GB with a cheap 200GB SD card can pretty much play every PC game.
Now let's look at the price
A Switch in the UK is £260
A Steam Deck is £350
That's a £90 difference. The Deck can play 1000s of games, and many future games will continue to release on it. The only reason I see people who would need the Steam Deck with NVME is if they wanted to Dual Boot Windows and need extra internal space for that. But a 64GB would easily be able to work with a Deck. Looking at Black friday sales I seen 512gb SD card going for £46, 256GB going for £20, 400GB going for £33.
