No you can't upgrade the internal one later. Instead you use high speed micro SD card, just like the Switch. The price is perfectly reasonable, use your SD card instead. Also Apple and others charge $400 for 500GB of added storage, I don't see how you can complain if Valve is asking for just $130. This is a small integrated device, not a motherboard.

104MB/s Micro SD cards aren't going to cut it. That makes the Steam Deck a big nope from me. 

Why? Phones, Tablets, Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo all do it?

Switch is less than half the weight and depth which is important for portability.

Battery 2-8hrs means 2 hrs for intense gaming.

Power of ARM will keep X86 handhelds down.

Switch V2 gets just 3 hours+52 mins in Crysis remastered.
Switch Lite gets 2 hours+10 mins in Haven.

No point bitching about 2 hours of intense gaming on this, that would be slightly hypocritical otherwise?

The switch 2 will need to be closer to PS4 Pro in handheld mode for people to consider it a worthy generational upgrade.

You have absolutely no idea on this, specifications haven't been released.
